Album Review: Stylie takes its smooth reggae for a cruise in “Smooth Sailin”

Colorado reggae rock band Stylie has released its new album, “Smooth Sailin”. You will absolutely love the relaxing 11 tracks and the band’s positive energy!

The album kicks off with the jamming title track showcasing their top tier production, catchy lyrics and inspirational message to let negativity drift away while floating to all the positives in our lives.

Stylie’s vocals are shared by Garrison James and Garrett “G Money” Blazer and I really appreciate how they compliment one another. You hear this cool dynamic in the irie dub filled song, “Livity”. 

Get the party going with Stylie’s “Backyard Party” featuring Bumpin Uglies. I love the song’s vibe and its reggae, rock and hip hop influence. Turn it up and you’ll realize how sweet life truly is.

I really dig the keys and dub filled instrumentals on “Wicked Ones”, a tune about about pushing away vices that hurts us and leaning into positivity. Close your eyes and take in the beautiful riddim - it is so inspiring!

Stylie masterfully creates and produces reggae rididms and their songwriting gets better and better on each release. Their music is so high quality that time seems to almost stand still when you embrace it. I really feel this when listening to “Stunna” and imagine a beautiful sunset!

“Pirate Radio” brings in more hip hop feels and I love the irie drum pattern and reggae guitar that will have you swinging to beat. Turn this unique track up loud on your stereo and you’ll enjoy the band’s creativity and good vibes.

The band wraps their stellar album with the banger, “Purple Skies” - another song that highlights Stylie’s ability to innovate and create smooth and palyful riddims. Whether you’re starting your day or settling in for the night, Stylie has you covered and delivers their unique Colorado reggae rock style.

Smooth sailin ahead!
