As one of music's highly acclaimed
artiste with two multi-platinum albums, eight number 1 hits, twelve top ten
singles worldwide, a diamond selling album and Grammy for best reggae album, Shaggy
is at it again.
"Out
of Many, One Music",
puts Shaggy in
a class of his own and shows the authenticity and creativity he is so well
known for. The vibe of the album was inspired by deep grooves of pioneering
roots reggae band Black Uhuru,
to which Shaggy
added his own flavor.
"Those hard Black Uhuru drum and bass tracks
with my pop style of writing and melodies added a nice twist. I feel this album
is really something solid and authentic" says Shaggy.
The lead single
"Fight this Feeling" is a duet with lovers’ rock icon, Beres Hammond, set to a timeless Sly & Robbie rhythm, which has changed the dancehall scene this
summer, forcing DJs to play lovers rock during their set. "Fight this
Feeling" is
a modern day love song with excellent production from Sly &
Robbie, Sting International and Lenky.
The second single released off "Out of Many, One
Music" titled 'You Girl' features
R&B pop star Ne-Yo and
is currently number 1 on the Reggae iTunes charts. 'You Girl' is
a body roll inducing love song that finds the fellas serenading a lucky young
lady about how wonderful she is.
The remaining tracks on this 13 track
album are all new and have not been released. Shaggy
collaborated with many of the industries
legends and upcoming reggae and dancehall sensations. This album gives you the
opportunity to enjoy good reggae, great musical production and take a journey
with Shaggy
and some of his friends as they pay tribute to the culture and one of the many
gifts given to the world from the island of Jamaica, Reggae.
"Out of Many, One Music" is not a new Shaggy album, but collaboration as he explains, between him
and legendary Jamaican rhythm duo Sly & Robbie. "I've been
criticized for years for not being authentic because of my pop success...People
say I'm not this...I'm not that...Now I'm doing a Reggae album with the masters
and people are saying it’s a game changer. The first 2 singles have already
proven that to some extent! You be the judge on September 24th, says Shaggy.
