The UK mic veteran's latest | X | | X | album is a tour-de-force. It's at once personal and universal, | X | | X | containing songs for dancehall and reggae fans, as well as the | X | | X | crossover market. | X | | X | | X | | X | Tippa always did possess an uncanny instinct for hit songs and | X | | X | catchy hooks, except he's now discovered an extra gear - one that | X | | X | reaches all the way back to his days on sound-system, whilst | X | | X | embracing a raft of fresh musical ideas and rhythms. His | X | | X | collaborators here are Germany's Far East Band, and the chemistry | X | | X | between them has resulted in a dizzying blend of styles, anchored | X | | X | by superb musicianship and production. "Just My Lady" deserves to | X | | X | be a worldwide smash with its loving message and irresistible | X | | X | melodies, just like "Hello Darling" once was. | X | | X | | X | | X | Tippa's renowned for his all-inclusive, easy-on-the-ear lyrics | X | | X | except he's no pushover, and battle tunes like "Big Talk" and | X | | X | others are among the most hard-hitting of his entire career. "The | X | | X | race is not for the swift, but who can endure," he chants on "In | X | | X | My Way," whilst "One Of Those Days" is a warning to promoters who | X | | X | praise him as "the English Godfather" (which he most certainly | X | | X | is) but want him to perform for little or nothing. He's not | X | | X | saying this out of greed, but from a desire to see his profession | X | | X | treated with more respect. Tippa's legacy is second-to-none of | X | | X | course, as you'd expect of an artist voted Best British Reggae MC | X | | X | for a record three times, but that still won't prepare you for | X | | X | the lyrical walk on the wild side that's "Wine It," produced in | X | | X | conjunction with fellow German band Seeed. | X | | X | | X | | X | Tippa still doesn't use profanities, and never has. Instead, | X | | X | he'll put the competition to flight with lyrics full of truth and | X | | X | reality, and that audiences from around the world can understand. | X | | X | It's the same message that reggae pioneers like Bob Marley and | X | | X | Jimmy Cliff spread to the four corners of the earth and Tippa's | X | | X | no less of an ambassador, despite having made his breakthrough as | X | | X | a dancehall artist. He too, believes that "reggae music is the | X | | X | heartbeat of the people," and proves it on tracks like "Horns Man | X | | X | Blow," "Truth And Rights" and "Only Jah Jah." Also the | X | | X | unforgettable title track, on which he pays tribute to reggae | X | | X | icons such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly & Robbie and King Tubby, | X | | X | to name but a few. Tippa's father ran a sound-system in Brixton, | X | | X | London, and so when he talks about "feeling the music from | X | | X | birth," he's not kidding. His mic skills date from childhood, and | X | | X | he's now a master craftsman. Listen to "Me And This Mic" for | X | | X | proof, and then consider how many late night sessions on sound- | X | | X | systems like King Tubby's and Saxon it took to transform him into | X | | X | a legend! | X | | X | | X | | X | Some of his biggest records since then have been either chirpy | X | | X | dancehall numbers, or love songs like "Hello Darling" and that | X | | X | wonderful run of hits he enjoyed with Peter Hunnigale and Lloyd | X | | X | Brown throughout the nineties. This was before distinguishing | X | | X | himself on records by Jurassic 5 and the Black Eyed Peas, and | X | | X | then returning to dancehall action with a vengeance, just as a | X | | X | new generation of reggae labels and producers came of age in | X | | X | Europe. | X | | X | | X | | X | This album tells us a lot about where Tippa's at right now and | X | | X | whilst his art and lyrics are steeped in old school mastery, it's | X | | X | thrilling to hear him push back the boundaries and explore new | X | | X | possibilities just as surely as any youngster. | X | | X | | X | | X | Enjoy! | X | | X | | X | | X | | X | | X | | X | | X | | X | | X | : : | X | +---|---|- - .
