RadioIndy is pleased to present Jamallad with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Global Citizen"
"Global Citizen" by Jamallad is a very impressive peace driven Reggae album with Afro pop and World elements. The tone of the album is highly positive and is a celebration of life. The arrangements are very active, especially the bass lines, and there are some nice harmonies courtesy of the songbird-esque backup singers. Jamallad's voice has a great throaty quality to it and fronts the talented band very effectively. The songs all have an identity with a strong rock presence from time to time. Highlights are "In The Now," with a big island feel, grooving rhythms and an intent for a good time. The title track "Global Citizen" features the previously mentioned rock element, with a punchy beat and cool changes. "War No More" has some fun synth horns and a fantastic performance by the backup singers. If you like Bob or Ziggy Marley, you'll like this one.
