New music: Matisyahu

Wednesday, May 17. 2006

Today I was in the mood of buying some new music, especially having the new Pearl Jam album in my mind. I quickly that CD, but after that, I stumbled upon the CD "Youth" by Matisyahu, a Chasidic reggae musician. I listened to a few samples from that CD, and immediately found it great, so I decided to buy it.

At home, the first thing I did was playing the CD, and I must say, it was really worth the money. The music is definitely the most relaxed and innovative reggae I've listened to in the last few years. So, if you're into that kind of music, I can only recommend this album.

Downloaded some Matisyahu off eMusic a few weeks ago ("Shake off the Dust, Aris").
While I like it as background music, the lyrics could do with a little less retelling of old testament stories.

I don't know that album, but "Youth" is definitely different in terms of lyrics. But yes, generally the music has a strong touch of "religious" music. But in this case, I absolutely don't care, as it is not even as nearly annoying as all the modern "Christian music" produced these days.
