Sigles Collection...& More
[ CD / Album ]

Ah, Roland Alphonso, the unsung hero of Jamaican ska music. His latest album, "Singles Collection...& More", is a delightful romp through the sounds of the Caribbean, with Alphonso's signature saxophone stylings taking centre stage. From the opening track, "Tribute to the Duke", you can tell that Alphonso is not messing around. This is music that demands your attention, with its infectious rhythms and joyful melodies. It's impossible not to tap your feet or shake your hips to the beat. As the album progresses, we are treated to a variety of styles and moods, from the laid-back groove of "Bridge View" to the energetic ska of "Phoenix City". Alphonso's versatility as a musician is on full display here, with each track showcasing a different side of his prodigious talent. But what really sets this album apart is Alphonso's sense of humour. Tracks like "Scambalena" and "Big Trombone" are playful and cheeky, with their tongue-in-cheek lyrics and catchy hooks. It's impossible not to smile while listening to these songs. Overall, "Singles Collection...& More" is a must-listen for fans of ska music, or anyone looking to inject some joy into their day. Roland Alphonso may not be a household name, but with albums like this, he certainly deserves to be. Don't sleep on this one, folks.
