Jamaican legend Horace Andy continues to be at the forefront of the music scene, transcending genres and borders as a supreme singer with a beautiful falsetto and a superb sense of melody, as well as being the driving force behind Massive Attack! His latest album, produced by Adrian Sherwood, is now available! On-U Sound is proud to present a true masterpiece of an album by one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time in the rich history of Jamaican music, Horace Andy. This performance is truly as brilliant as a golden star and is a source of great pride to me. - Adrian SherwoodLegendary singer Horace Andy is loved by reggae fans around the world for his many masterpieces in the 70s and 80s on labels such as Studio One and Wackies, including "Skylarking" and "Money Money Money". Since the 1990s, he has participated in all of Massive Attack's studio albums and has been a key member of their tours, making an impact on the non-reggae scene and captivating a wide range of music fans. Horace Andy's latest work, "Midnight Rocker," will be released on On-U Sound, led by Adrian Sherwood.In creating Midnight Roker, producer Adrian Sherwood followed the approach that he had learned from his work on Lee Scratch Perry's Rainford and Heavy Rain albums, which is appropriate for the work of a musician at the peak of his career. The team of top-notch musicians was assembled. We assembled a team of top-notch musicians and spent months perfecting the performances, arrangements, and mixing. The resulting songs are painstakingly crafted, backed by superior technique, and result in songs that further accentuate the appeal of Horace Andy's one-of-a-kind voice. Some of the songs, such as "Mr. Bassie," are self-covers of existing Horace Andy classics, but many, such as "Watch Over Them" and "Materialist," are newly composed songs with a contemporary message. In addition, the album even includes a new version of the very popular early song "Safe From Harm" from the work of Massive Attack, the group with which Horace Andy has had the deepest interaction. The original "Safe From Harm" featured Shara Nelson on vocals, but here Horace holds the microphone.Interestingly, Shara Nelson recorded with Adrian Sherwood several years before Massive Attack began, and their 1983 unknown street soul classic, "Aiming At Your Heart," can be considered a blueprint for Massive Attack's later sound. Aiming At Your Heart" is the blueprint for Massive Attack's later sound. The band backing the band on this album features an elite group of On-U Sound musicians, including Gowdy, Skip McDonald, Crucial Tony, Ital Horns, and the late Style Scott and George Orban. The CD includes a commentary and lyrics. The domestic CD includes a commentary and bilingual lyrics, and an additional bonus track, "My Guiding Star".
