dont get me wrong,damien marley is a talented dude,but id be interested to know how much input and say he has as to what goes on the record,writing etc.seems a bit clinical ,throw in a bit of this and a bit of that to make the record appeal to a mass market,outside of reggae.as with my mate dave,general levys manager,he seems to have something against making a pure straight roots reggae record.why.because they dont know how to market and sell it in todays music market.its almost as if hes saying ,people dont want to hear a dude singing about human rights,politriks or things.people want vaccous music that doesnt make them have to think.what they would call shrewd marketing,i would call it clinical,boring and devoid of soul.
