Our Take

Alton Ellis, the legendary Jamaican singer known as the "Godfather of Rocksteady," makes a surprising and delightful return with his latest album, "Blackish White." The title alone sets the stage for an intriguing blend of genres and styles, and Ellis does not disappoint.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you can't help but be drawn in by Ellis's smooth, soulful vocals and infectious rhythms. Each song on the album is a masterclass in storytelling, with Ellis effortlessly weaving tales of love, heartbreak, and social commentary.

The production on "Blackish White" is top-notch, with lush instrumentation and killer grooves that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time. The album strikes a perfect balance between classic roots reggae sounds and modern production techniques, creating a timeless sound that is sure to please both old-school fans and newcomers alike.

Standout tracks like "Soulful Ska" and "Reggae Revolution" showcase Ellis's versatility and creativity, while slower, more introspective songs like "Rasta Love" and "Jah Bless" provide moments of contemplation and depth.

Overall, "Blackish White" is a truly special album that cements Alton Ellis's status as a musical icon. Whether you're a die-hard reggae fan or just looking for some fresh and exciting sounds, this album is a must-listen. Don't sleep on this one, folks – Alton Ellis is back and better than ever.
