Echoes Magazine grew out of Black Echoes and continues to provide in-depth coverage of most forms of black music, including reggae and dancehall. My contributions to this last issue of 2017 includes interviews with front cover star Hollie Cook and Jesse Royal, a round-up of the year in reggae and the usual singles and album reviews. The latter includes new releases by Little Axe, Ken Boothe, Benjamin Zephaniah, VP Records and Randy Valentine, whose New Narrative is our Reggae

Riddim is Germany's leading magazine for reggae and dancehall fans and beautifully produced thanks to editors Ellen Koehling and Pete Lilly, whose hard work and dedication over so many years continues to inspire writers like myself to do their very best. My contribution to this latest issue is an interview with the legendary Ken Boothe, celebrating the release of his latest album Inna Di Yard.

This latest issue of France's No. 1 reggae magazine includes features I've written on Jesse Royal, celebrating his new album Lily Of Da Valley, and also Junior Natural - a Swedish sing-jay whose debut album was recorded in Jamaica with Sly & Robbie.
