Description

Jah9 is the new revelation of New Roots Reggae, considered Jamaica’s rare gem for her talent and beauty. She is among the most compelling spiritual and activist artists of the new generation, advocating a return to the values of Roots Reggae by drawing inspiration from 70s artists and Rastafari spirituality. Her singing, strongly influenced by Jazz, and her voice, both powerful and graceful, bring to life lyrics steeped in poetry. Discovered alongside Protoje, she has already worked with Donovan Bennett (Corleon Records), Beres Hammond (Harmony House), and Rory Gilligan (of the Stone Love sound system), who produced her first album, "New Name". She had chosen not to sell it in stores but only at the end of her concerts. It already featured surprising tracks such as the title track "New Name", "Legitimate" with Protoje, "The Seven year itch" and "Jungle". For this new album, Jah9 was fully involved in the compositions, the lyrics and even the production of the tracks. She drew inspiration from her life as an activist for the organization "Manifesto Jamaïca", which works for young people by giving them access to the arts and culture, as well as from her experience as a Yoga teacher and the positive vibrations she receives back from her students. Surrounded by renowned artists such as Kevin Campbell, Franklyn Ben Up Irving, Tippy Alfred, she delivers 9 powerful, melodic tracks steeped in spirituality.
