World-famous reggae veteran Papa San, having come to Christ more than 10 years ago, has released another Christian offering, "Higher Heights." The 16-tracks don't skimp on the "style and fashion" that fans of the former secular toaster, an annual performer at Jamaica's legendary Sting concert, according to a Wikipedia page, came to love from him.
Papa San, dubbed "Marathon Man" for regularly offering a barrage of popular songs at once, has done it again. All of the songs on "Higher Heights" are enjoyable, for different reasons. Styles range from organic, rootsy tracks to dancehall-flavored ones. Topics range from praising God to church goings-on, to uplifting city dwellers.
Secular reggae interestingly mixes "spiritual" fare into its popular music without anyone protesting, though many of the songs are Rastafarian in nature. Its refreshing to hear quality Christian riddims from Papa San.
My Top Tracks:
- Fa Sure: Jesus has the cure.
- Higher Heights: Call 'pon the flock's Shepherd.
- Ina the Ghetto: Hope for the concrete jungle.
- Disaster: Easygoing percussion under convicting lyrics.
- Church House: Whosoever will may come.
- Let Burn: More fiyah--God's anointing.
- Hell Broke Loose: Energetic, horn-punctuated beat.
