CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description In the most unconventional of Cinderella stories, Jamaican singer-songwriter Abdel Wright has risen from total anonymity to the brink of international acclaim. With his brand of socially conscious, rootsy reggae, Abdel has already garnered the attention of major label Interscope and superstars like U2?s Bono, who called Abdel the "most important Jamaican artist since Marley." Keep your eyes and ears open for his self-titled debut album this fall and a 2004 tour. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBono just don't know know tonnieboy | texas | 08/29/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Sure this album is easier to ingest than the vast majority of jamaican exports, and cross-genre experiments are always fresh and interesting; yet this artist's message and delivery are in no way comparable to Bob Marley. Bob Marley was a timeless performer sharing the roots reggae movement with the world. Mr. Wright makes pop music that is radio friendly internationally. The importance of the artist means so much more than record sales or distribution ranges. Don't get me wrong, the album is pleasant; but time will tell its importance." Wow Craig Schenk | Washington, DC | 06/21/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "U2's Bono described Abdel as the most significant musician to come out of Jamaica since Bob Marley. If he continues releasing albums of this quality, that will prove very true. I bought it after hearing Quicksand, and expected it to be more or less reggae. It is reggae in some ways, but owes just as much to acoustic folk and even country music. I don't know what to call it but "good"... I certainly hope he generates enough commercial success to ensure a steady flow of albums and tours, because this guy's music is really good." Great new reggae arist, and cd Evan Kendall | Marthas Vineyard, MA | 10/18/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Abdel Wright is great! His politically fired lyrics and topics show what corruption is still in the world today. The hit, Quicksand, has a great sound with harmonica, drums, and other instruments. The whole CD is great for any fan of reggae or music in general. It has a soft sound with good words."
