Julian Marley and Antaeus’ album, “Colors Of Royal” inspire a fresh outlook on life in eight dance friendly tracks. I am absolutely loving this collaboration and the beautiful songs that Marley and Antaeus have brought to life that cross the reggae, electronic, dancehall and pop music genres.
“Jah Sees Them” is a powerful song that immediately catches your attention and reminds us to recognize positivity while pushing away any negative things. Julian Marley’s vocals are incredible and I’m really feeling the intricate riddim, especially the drum pattern.
The artists team up with Notnice in the song, “Robbed” and the song brings so many important societal issues into focus, while pointing us on a road of focus. This is a perfect example of the genre crossing sound of this album, and it’s so cool!
You’ll feel the love and passion in Marley’s singing i the gorgeous love song, “Made For Your Love”. I am jamming to this track’s keys and the catchy melody!
My favorite song on the album is called “Roll”, and it’s definitely one of my favorite new releases! This is such a big tune and celebrates our strength and abilities to roll with the punches. Julian Marley proves yet again he’s one of the most powerful voices in reggae today and Antaeus delivers top-notch production.
“The Tide is High” will get any dance floor grooving in no time, and you cannot help but smile as you listen to this positive track that automatically bring island vibes and love to your day!
