Junior Kelly is among Jamaica’s finest conscious voices. The prolific songwriter is set to release his latest studio album, ‘Urban Poet’ that he hopes will shine a light on Reggae Music and provide reggae fans with much needed salvation, substance and food for thought to uplift them in difficult times.

Urban Poet has been produced by Irievibrations Records. The album consists of 16 tracks mixing Reggae with urban sounds, Junior himself has described the album as more than Just Reggae music. The album has been described as a melting pot of live riddims, exciting musicianship and vocal artistry that will leave you on a musical high. The current single is the first track off the album ‘No Dig It Up’ and to cover a few of the tracks from the album

No Dig It Up

I love how raw and rustic Juniors voice is, ive heard him voice dubs in the past and his older records and his style just appeals to me. No Dig it Up is a very simple song with a guitar and some minimal drumming and Juniors gritty voice telling the youth to aim high and how everybody knows ‘the system isn’t perfect’ an uplifting record.

No More War

On a Reggae vibe with a strong influence of urban R&B/Hip Hop. Big Drums and nice chords set the scene for this record, I love the fast pace delivery in Juniors delivery style he can turn the quick and slow button on promptly, The title says it all really, a peace song wanting no more war.

5 In Love

Stripped back guitar led riddim with juniors soulful voice ringing out, I really like this song, the style really suits Juniors voice, its an easy listening record and is different from a lot of songs that are coming out at the moment!
