RadioIndy is pleased to present SOLOMON with a GrIndie Award for the CD "State Of Our Affairs" "State Of Our Affairs" is a great roots rock reggae album from Trinidad and Tobago's own Solomon. Though his vocal performance is true to the roots reggae tradition popularized by Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley, Solomon's musicianship expands beyond reggae genre and into the pop, rock, and world realms. No matter the creative choice, the arrangements are solid and centered around excellent guitar work. Solomon is renowned for his lyrical expressiveness and content that toes the line, as he sings about faith and Rastafarianism, race relations, women, and the Caribbean. "State Of Our Affairs" is well-produced and sounds clean and professional. The opener, "Am I of God" is a great roots rock reggae number with a great arrangement and lyrics about faith and religion. "Some Want It All" has a great bass line that fuels the track, an accompanying piano and guitar arrangement, and profound lyrics that offer the Native Caribbean's perspective on Caribbean tourism. Solomon is a promising artist for the future of reggae, as well as of reggae/rock fusion, who offers outstanding, thought-provoking lyrics and great, diverse accompaniments. Fans of roots reggae and reggae/rock fusion should definitely give Solomon a listen.-Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team
