Echoes - June 2023

This month's main reggae stories highlight new albums by Johnny Osbourne and Alborosie, who offer in-depth insights into their current work and individual careers to date. The Vibes column is dominated by an appreciation of dancehall artist Boom Dandimite who sadly passed away in May, whilst Groundation Meets Brain Damage's Dreaming From An Iron Gate is Reggae Album Of The Month. I also review the latest albums by Shaggy, Mykal Rose, Aza Lineage, Reggae Roast and Little Roy, and was delighted to include new singles by Samory I, Nattali Rize & Kabaka Pyramid, Vershon, Jah9, Macka B & Jazzwad, Sean Paul & Beres Hammond and Chukki Starr in this month's Run The Track.
