Our Take

Barrington Levy's "Black Heart Man" is a thrilling ride through reggae's past, present, and future. From the moment the needle drops on the record, you're taken on a journey through Levy's distinctive vocals, infectious rhythms, and thought-provoking lyrics.

The album's title track sets the tone for what's to come, with Levy's impassioned delivery drawing you in from the get-go. Tracks like "Sister Carol" and "Jah" showcase Levy's ability to seamlessly blend reggae, dancehall, and R&B influences into a cohesive and addictive sound.

But it's not just Levy's vocal prowess that shines on this album - the musicianship on display here is top-notch. The skittering guitar lines, pulsating bass, and tight percussion work together to create a sonic landscape that is both rich and diverse.

Despite the album's sombre title, there's a playful energy that runs throughout "Black Heart Man." Levy's cheeky lyrics and playful melodies keep things light and breezy, even when tackling weighty subjects like love, loss, and social injustice.

Overall, "Black Heart Man" is a triumph for Levy, showcasing his versatility as an artist and cementing his status as a legend in the reggae world. So grab a cold Red Stripe, kick back, and let Barrington Levy whisk you away on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
