Okay so, not too long ago, we told you about the excellent new compilation from the delightfully (and perhaps even over-) active folks at Trinity Farm Music, "Heart Of One". That wonderful set officially released on the 23rd of July and in the couple of months since then, TFM has already released THREE MORE projects, including one just today and I thought I'd tell you about all three of them..... because I haven't finished my review (of an album by an artist who featured on "Heart Of One"). Let's get on it!
'Golden Globe' by Jah Rubal
Constantly appearing on Trinity Farm's releases, it should come to the surprise of absolutely no one that the characteristically frenetic Jah Rubal also recently dropped a new tune on the label, 'Golden Globe'. You almost get the feeling that Rubal enters some state of hypnosis when he makes music (not completely unlike the third vocalist here) and you'd also wonder exactly how much of what he does is actually written, versus how much of it is improvised to some degree. I would think 'Golden Globe' falls more heavily towards the latter but, in either case, it is a good tune. Also, in case you haven't notice: USUALLY Jah Rubal finds some type of a melody in his music and this is a good example of that. To no one's standard besides his own, 'Golden Globe' is pretty 'easy listening' from Jah Rubal and, again, very nice work in general.
'Works Fa Jah' by Isayah
That of Isayah's was one of the most compelling performances on the whole of the aforementioned "Heart Of One" between a pair of offerings that he had there and I was well looking forward to hearing more from him with Trinity Farm.... and it didn't take very long at all. Things have remained the same on 'Workz Fa Jah', which is GORGEOUS! There's a point in this tune where things just level up and Isayah hits a peak of focus for a downright STUNNING stretch of music.
"All the works for Jah for The Most High One
Alla the works for Jah with good intention
Alla the works for make I & I strong, right over wrong
Alla the works for break down the walls of babylon
Alla the works for Jah, hail HIS creation"
Probably the best song on this post and... if TFM wanted to put together a full album for Isayah at some point, you'd get not a single complaint out of me.
'Whole World In His Hands' by Ancient King
Finally, released today (like a few hours ago at this time), is the latest collaboration between TFM and the most dedicated Ancient King, 'Whole World In His Hnads'. Back in May, there was the lovely album, "Oath Of Akae", produced by Vaughn Benjamin for the label and this tune is the just the latest piece of work between artist and label and it is CLEARLY up to set quality. The tune is standard fare from what you're going to get from Ancient King:
"Dem build bunker and go hide it underground
DEM GO FOOL DEMSELF TO INFINITY, THINK DEM CAN HIDE"
It is ultra dedicated, kinda messy (and I mean that in a good way) and exactly what we've come to expect from Ancient King as he gives top honours to THE King. For me, 'Whole World In His Hands' represents some of the strongest recent work from Ancient King and, hopefully, we get another album for Trinity Farm at some point in the future.
