Mr. Heartless - Anthony B. ~ Various Artists   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info In the last few years the idea of conscious lyrics has made a real comeback in Jamaica, an antidote to gun songs and slackness. Just how far they've come is evident by the names here -- people like Sizzla, Capleton, and Tanya Stephens. It's a roots mentality, even if the music is often more dancehall inclined (although Morgan Heritage's "Uncomfortable" certainly stands up for roots reggae). There's some excellent music here, with "Give Praise" from Luciano (a longtime supporter of the conscious word) a particular standout, along with Anthony B.'s "Mr. Heartless." Getting a reminder that Jamaican music has become three dimensional again is a good thing, and that a new generation is sitting down and thinking and putting some spirituality back into the music. ~ Chris Nickson   Technical Info Release Date : 05/23/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 1697 Label : VP Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00054645169721    Related Videos Christmas In The Heart : ...
