South London singer Roger Robin impressed me a lot back in the nineties with his soulful vocals, and his songs in a smooth lover’s rock style. Then I lost touch with him – until now.

Label owner and dub specialist Jah Shaka is justly famed for his authoritative roots approach, and Roger certainly fits right into the mould. Sounding a little like a very – very - rootsy Maxi Priest in places and the great Garnet Silk at other times, this is a wonderful, upful, all-original, bass-heavy set, with backing from Mafia and Fluxy, and engineering by Gussie P at A-Class Studios. Strictly conscious sounds all the way…
