One of Jamaica’s most soulful Reggae artists Asante Amen is currently working on a
full length album with Boom One Records (BOR) based in North Carolina, USA. The
album will be called Chapter and it has 9 tracks and
features collaborations with Reggae acts such as Lutan Fyah, Leaf of Life and
the Kurfew Band.
According to Asante
Amen, Chapter is the end result of inspirations he has received from
JAH, the Rastafari Movement, and Reggae greats such as Jacob Miller and Garnet
Silk, since the start of his career. He went on to say, “Chapter reflects
essentially who I am as an artist.”
The album will be released by Boom One Records worldwide in
digital format and physical copies will be produced on an ‘as needed’ basis.
From the soul stirring opening track Rastafari
Love to the melodic ode to the strength of a woman in Firm; and the impressive re-make of the Inner Circle classic Sinners -now called Wages of Sin -Chapter will lock its listeners in
deep meditation.
The set closes out with a provocative roots tune called Are You Sure? (Hola Chant). In this
track Asante Amen is asking everyone
that has pledged allegiance to Rastafari – including himself – to check if they
are right with JAH and if they have been obedient to the teachings of H.I.M
Haile Selassie 1st.
