Okay so, I was about to make this entire post about a big new single from our old enigmatic friend, Turbulence, but he's not the only one showing up this week with a piece of magic. For his part, however, Turbulence has linked up with Pandemic Records to deliver 'Hero'. What do I say for 'Hero'??? Okay, 'Hero' may just be the single best tune that I've heard from Turbulence in.... a decade? Fifteen years??? I'm not quite sure on the time (or what the other song would have been), but it is EXCELLENT!
"Disappointment, greet you every step you take
And the system just won't give you a break
About to lose it all - riding on the edge
You've reached your limit, no one's there to help
You're so clueless, di giddeon is so toough
BUT BEFORE YOU THROW IN THE TOWEL, JUST LOOK UP
Here HE comes to save the day
Trust in Jah to lead the way
Jah knows best
So every tongue haffi confess
I was down to zero
His Majesty is my hero
Binghi launch out!
Like a seed in di wilderness
Don't let dem tell wi no beast, yow mi ever blessed
None a dem can spoil mi joy nor mi happiness
How yuh fi curse when Jah blessings just ah manifest?
Gallang, go tell di Obeah man seh mi no fear flesh
CAUSE JAH LOVE AND JAH POWERS MEK MI FEAR-LESS
Tell mi seh you push mi down, I couldn't careless
Wi victorious!
Wi left dem inna pure stress!"
BOOM! The song also comes fully equipped with one SWEET one-drop serving as a lovely backdrop and Turbulence produces a masterpiece fully befitting someone of his supreme talent (....just wish that he would do this more often as is one of a very select group of individuals who is capable).
And then there's Mark Wonder - someone who has never and likely will never struggle with consistency at all. His new piece, 'Urgency', for Yutman Records from out of Germany is more of the standard excellence that his fans have come to expect and enjoy throughout his career. This social commentary is also just a very nice listen. You take a very impactful message and you blend it with a damn infectious sound and you get yet another big winner from Mark Wonder.
