FOLLOW Mighty Joshua VIA:
Mighty Joshua’s new album, “Dreaducation,” is more than just a collection of reggae tunes; it’s a full-fledged education in consciousness, unity, and the power of music. This 14-track journey dives deep into the roots of reggae, offering both soulful ballads and uplifting anthems.
The album isn’t just a one-man show. Mighty Joshua joins forces with a talented crew, including reggae veterans like Junior Marvin (guitarist from the Original Wailers) and rising stars like Javo Grant Bassat. These collaborations weave a rich mix of sound, showcasing the depth and diversity of reggae music.
“Dreaducation” kicks off with the title track, a powerful statement of purpose. The song explodes with energy, horns blaring as Mighty Joshua chants the word “Dreaducation” with infectious enthusiasm. The lyrics, delivered with smooth flow, paint a vivid picture – “Gather ’round children, lemme tell you a story. My story, your story, pain, and glory.”
Throughout the album, Mighty Joshua skillfully blends the classic fire of roots reggae with the infectious energy of contemporary styles. Think Steel Pulse meets Kabaka Pyramid – music that respects tradition while pushing reggae forward. Tracks like “Iron Sharpen Iron” featuring Plunky Branch on saxophone perfectly exemplify this blend, offering a dose of cultural wisdom alongside a skanking beat.
The album also features introspective ballads like “Jah Sunset” that showcase Mighty Joshua’s soulful vocals. These slower moments provide a space for reflection, allowing the message of unity and social consciousness to sink in.
Recorded in studios across the globe, the album brings together musicians from various backgrounds. This global effort reflects the core message of the album: unity through music.
Dreaducation will educate you, uplift your spirits, and make you move. Mighty Joshua has crafted a powerful work that’s a must-listen and celebrates the rich tradition of reggae while paving the way for its future.
