ALBUM DESCRIPTION

For decades Judy Mowatt has been making an impact on the international reggae scene, first as a member of I-Threes, Bob Marley's backing vocal harmony group, and then as a solo artist releasing several secular reggae albums, even receiving a Grammy nomination (the first occasion on which a female reggae artist had been honored in this way). After converting to Christianity, Mowatt began using her musical talents to glorify God, singing reggae and gospel music with a distinctly Christian message. "Something Old, Something New", is an uplifting collection of some of Mowatt's best gospel reggae work to date, featuring both previously released and newly recorded songs. On "Something Old, Something New", Judy Mowatt uses excellent live instrumentation to alternate between gospel and reggae styles, touching on various important Christian messages. For roots reggae fans, "Many Are Called," features thick vocal harmonies and horn arrangements over a grooving steppers beat. Songs such as "I Sing Praises," "Revival," and "I Don't Wanna Stay Here," are beautiful reggae songs of praise, inspiration, and worship. Departing from roots reggae, "Who Is He," "Heal Our Land," and "Mother's Call," are contemporary gospel songs with reverent delivery and worshipful lyrical content. Other interesting tracks on "Something Old, Something New", include an exciting interpretation of "Nothing but the Blood of Jesus," on the "Blood Medley," and "Hold Them Jesus," a reggae/soca song that closes the album on a high note. Judy Mowatt's "Something Old, Something New", is an exciting blend of reggae and gospel music that is sure to please both old and new fans alike. Order your copy today from GospelReggae.com.
