Congratulations to Micah Shemaiah for the artist’s album “Jamaica Jamaica” being named the 2023 Daily Reggae Roots Reggae Album of the Year!

When you hear roots reggae, you instantly connect with an irie bass line, the lyrics standing up for people’s rights, and the sound of peace and love. Roots reggae remains strong in 2023 and we fell in love with some of these new LPs.

Micah Shemaiah’s uplifting spirit is in full display in “Jamaica Jamaica”. The album opens with the powerful title track, which calls out the need for Jamaica to come together to better address societal issues. You can hear the urgency in Shemaiah’s voice over the riddim and it definitely catches the listener’s ear.

With so much incredible reggae music out and tons of new albums to listen to, the Daily Reggae Team is excited to present our latest Daily Reggae Review Week! We’ve reviewed seven albums and will drop one new review for seven days starting on July 30th.

Cumbancha unites the beautiful music of Jamaica and Cuba in the release of “Mista Savona Presents Havana Meets Kingston Part 2”. While listening to the 15 track album, you’ll hear reggae, salsa, dancehall, and timba connected in dance friendly songs. The album follows up 2017’s “Havana Meets Kingston”.

Last year Jamaican musician, Micah Shemaiah released a beautiful album titled Still and we’ve been jamming to the 12 track release all week! We love Micah’s positive message of stillness and love. Shemaiah teamed with Zion High Productions to bring these new roots reggae tunes to life. When we listen to Still we feel the stillness and can reflect in peace.
