ITOPIA reviews; new releases
July 27, 2008
We don’t knock out one release after another at Irieland Music, preferring to work to a high-quality, handcrafted feel to our music. It’s something noted by reviewers of “ITOPIA”, by Jah Seal, released on Irieland Music in June 2008.
“Jah Seal delivers the goods,” says Chuck Foster in The Beat (USA). “I like that he doesn’t hit you on the head with dj flash or ready-made reggae cliches but seems to draw lyrical inspiration from a humble heart.” Or from Irieites: “Tunes which don’t shout at you but whisper in your ear.” Dubflash even gets off his couch: “Highpoint of the album is definitely the title track “Itopia” which is just wicked, especially the chorus and the horn section. Beautiful.” More reviews at www.irielandmusic.com.

“Jah Soldier”, from ITOPIA, will feature on the upcoming Best Seven Selections 3 from Berlin’s Best Seven imprint, due out at the end of August, and a dubstep remix of the same tune by Tricky D is now out on 12″ on the Dutch imprint Sozialisten Plattenbau.
