Horace Andy requires no introduction. From ’70s Studio One classics like “Skylarking,” to his seminal dancehall recordings with Lloyd “Bullwackie” Barnes in the ’80s, and his work with trip-hop kings Massive Attack in the ’90s, Andy has been making great music for generations. With a voice as timeless as his, he’ll probably still be killing it for years to come, as well. LeaLea Jones, on the other hand, is a new name to us. “The Road,” the first single from the young British singer’s upcoming debut album, pairs her neo-soul-esque vocals with a labyrinthine dub riddim, triumphant horns and a typically killer turn from Andy. In fact, the veteran practically hijacks the song from young Ms. Jones, after first popping up at the 2-minute mark, on some LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THIS business. Let us know what you think of it all in the comments.
Was involved behind the scenes linking Lea Lea (via Jack Baker) up with Horace himself – the outcome is devastatingly good
BAADDDDD!!!! One of the best joints yall posted in awhile!!
this track slays. Needs a beautiful video to go with such a gorgeous track.
Enjoyed song. Video strong. Like the bad angel image in the video who after turning his back on God, draws mankind into slaughtering and abusing each other. I enjoyed the song “Cake” as well.
