Our Take

"Oi oi, look who's back with a bang! UROY's Talking Roots is a delightful fusion of reggae beats and funky vibes that will have you grooving from start to finish. The album kicks off with the infectious track 'Rootsman', setting the tone for the rest of the record.

UROY's signature raspy vocals shine through on tracks like 'Jah Jah Call You' and 'Pick Up the Pieces', reminding us why he's a legend in the reggae scene. The punchy horn sections and skanking guitars add a lively dynamic to the music, making it impossible to sit still while listening.

But it's not all fun and games on Talking Roots - tracks like 'Babylon Burning' and 'Warrior' delve into deeper topics like social injustice and political corruption, showing UROY's versatility as a songwriter.

Overall, Talking Roots is a solid effort from the reggae veteran, proving that he still has plenty of fire left in him. So grab a beer, kick back, and let UROY's smooth tunes transport you to a sunny beach in Jamaica - you won't regret it."

VERDICT: 8.5/10 - UROY proves he's still got it with Talking Roots, an album that's as groovy as it is thought-provoking. A must-listen for reggae fans old and new.
