Etana - Better Tomorrow (2013)

By iurgi -

Originating from Jamaica, Etana's third album is a wonderful mix of soul and  pop with a roots reggae backbone that stays true to Jamaica's golden age of reggae.

The album is quite varied and every song is incredibly powerful. Etana manages to infuse every track with raw honesty. She is determined to inspire and every song is soulful and uplifting.

Recorded in the legendary Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica, this is a high quality and flawless production that looks back to the golden age of reggae whilst sounding modern.

Rating: Heavy Rotation
