Inna Reggae Style 001
Been listening to A LOT of Reggae recently, and I still find it refreshing how it never grows tiresome, as there is still such a treasure trove of wonders to be discovered from a genre which is soon to be coming close to being 50 years old.
I've been on the search for good Reggae cover versions of Non Reggae songs, and have found some absolute beauties along the way, and its proof to how wonderful a genre Reggae is when you realize that a hell of a lot of the covers sound so much better than their original recordings.
There is something about the Reggae sound, about the vocalists and their style of singing that turns the songs they are singing around, makes them sound like they have more meaning to them and generally just makes the music sound BETTER
So this is the start of a new feature called 'Inna Reggae Style, where from now I'm going to start posting two Reggae covers every couple of weeks, starting this week with two covers of Radiohead and Kraftwerk that on paper you would not expect to work, but seriously do.
