Italy’s Mellow Mood is one of the most talented duos in the global reggae scene and the musician’s new album, “Mañana” is an important reminder to celebrate today and what’s to come tomorrow. “Mañana” is Mellow Mood’s sixth studio album and is another impressive milestone in Jacob and L.O. Garzia’s amazing reggae music catalog.

Mellow Mood teams with Konshens in “My Bed” and the vibes are so nice. The song is romantic and has such an irie riddim. Throughout the album Mellow Mood showcases incredible vocals, lyrics and catchy deliveries. The pairing of Jacob, L.O., and Konshens is so cool!

In “Mr. Global” Mellow Mood partners with Kabaka Pyramid and the song puts an important spotlight on bad leaders and the importance of not putting people down but empowering them instead.

I love the gorgeous song “I And I Chant” featuring the talented Spanish reggae group, Emeterians. The song has so much soul and we love the inspiring messages. The bass grooves and I love the cool dub effects and guitar riffs.

Sr. Wilson leaves a nice imprint on the album in the track “Starting Mañana”. I love the riddim and once again Mellow Mood covers an important topic about balancing life and living in the moment.

“Laser Sight” brings back some of Mellow Mood’s old school sounds and reminds me of their 2018 album, “Large”, which is another must-listen! The instrumentation on this track is really well done and laid back.

Mellow Mood gives thanks in “Sweet Like Honey” and share their appreciation of life’s journey. This would be a really cool song to hear them play live!

Slow down and turn on Mellow Mood’s “Promise” which highlights their beautiful vocals and talent as songwriters. Mellow Mood encourages us to keep our heads up even in times of doubt and hardship.

Much love!
