Groundation - We Free Again with Apple Gabriel and Don Carlos

Groundation - We Free Again with Apple Gabriel and Don Carlos
(Young Tree 2004)

Discographiquement, la tâche n'est pas aisée pour Groundation, groupe de reggae californien qui a explosé à la face du monde l'an passé avec son cinquième album, "Hebron Gate", que nous avions décrit à l'époque comme "le meilleur album de reggae roots de ces 10 dernières années". En effet si leurs tournées se jouent désormais à guichets fermés, sur disque ils sont désormais attendus au tournant. "We Free Again" les voit cette fois accueillir en invités Apple Gabriel (Israel Vibration) et Don Carlos (Black Uhuru), mais surtout se dépatouiller de la trop réductrice étiquette "roots reggae" pour y incorporer une bonne dose d'impros jazz et de composition funk. Le résultat? Un classique de plus dans leur discographie déjà bien fournie...

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
