The 16-track collection showcases McGregor’s talent as a songwriter and his taste for cover versions, romantic ballads and strong cultural messages. Original songs include the heartfelt tribute to his island "Move Up Jamaica,” the powerfully pleading "More Love in the Ghetto" and earnestly romantic and gospel-flavored "Love I Believe In." As for cover versions, Freddie's draws from a wide and varied array of great pop anthems (Beatles’ "You Won't See Me," Luther Vandross' "A House Is Not a Home") and reggae songs of the past (“Bob Marley’s “Rainbow Country,” The Heptones’ “Equal Rights”). Each rendition is infused with Freddie's own unmistakable vibe and rich, soulful vocals.
"These
songs were very specially chosen," Freddie says. "We took the
greatest pains in making sure these would be classic songs that will last for a
long time. I chose songs like "Equal Rights" because I love the
message and because the youth need to hear it. We made a special effort to keep
it as grass-roots as we can."
