Our Take

In the grand scheme of 80s reggae-influenced pop, Musical Youth's "Pass The Dutchie" stands out like a sore thumb in a sea of mediocrity. The album, released in 1982, is a delightful hodgepodge of infectious rhythms, catchy hooks, and youthful exuberance that is as refreshing today as it was nearly 40 years ago.

From the moment the title track kicks in with its infectious chorus and upbeat groove, you can't help but be drawn into Musical Youth's infectious energy. The band members were barely out of their teens when they recorded this album, but their musical prowess and charisma shine through on every track.

Tracks like "Youth of Today" and "Never Gonna Give You Up" showcase the band's knack for writing tunes that are both fun and socially conscious, touching on themes of youth empowerment and love in a way that feels both authentic and refreshingly optimistic. And let's not forget the album's standout track, "Sixteen," which perfectly captures the essence of teenage rebellion and longing.

While Musical Youth may not have reached the same level of commercial success as some of their reggae-pop contemporaries, "Pass The Dutchie" remains a hidden gem in the annals of 80s music. So go ahead, pass the dutchie on the left-hand side, and give this album a spin – you won't be disappointed.
