An artist who is criminally left out (I’ve been guilty til now truth be told) when there is any talk of the ‘Reggae Revival’ or the new generation of Jamaican Reggae stars. Jah9 is a far more powerful performer than I initially gave her credit for and her tunes have a habit of sticking with you and bringing you back in for more. I get the feeling this is not a “having a rather nice day” kind of ‘feeling irie’ that she’s singing about. This is a feeling strong and positive from the root of your soul kind of irie and full respects to anyone who shares that kind of feeling with her.
