Jah Cure delivers his eighth studio album, Royal Soldier, on Friday, August 30th, 2019.
The album tells a story about love, tempered by the realities of what it is to be a man in a complex world. Songs “Telephone Love” and “Risk it All,” which were previously released, spoke to ladies about love, while “Marijuana” catered to those who seek a higher meditation through the consumption of the herb.
Available today is the title track “Royal Soldier,” inspired by the story of the richest black man in the world, Mansa Musa of Mali, Jah Cure sings about what it is to be a King on the battlefield who not only has to fight against physical entities, but spiritual battles as well.
Being the musical adventurer, Jah Cure is known to explore rhythms, such as what we hear on “Only You” featuring Mya, countered by the grit heard on “Street Kings,” featuring Yami Bolo, Junior Reid and Capleton.
Cure’s presence has reverberated around the globe and has earned him top status among Reggae artists internationally. Guest artists on the album include Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley, Melanie Fiona, Mya, Phyllisia Ross, Popcaan, Tory Lanez and more.
