We say
Matisyahuââ¬â¢s album, Youth, entered at no.4 in the Billboard 100, and entered the US iTunes chart at no.1 making him Americaââ¬â¢s most popular reggae artist. This track is typical of some of the fantastically creative ideas on the album, which packs a powerful spiritual punch, bringing the genre kicking and screaming into a new era. His previous album, Live at Stubb's, went gold in the US. As RotD wrote after his performance at SXSW in 2005: "..Matisyahu was the last act we saw at SXSW and left us stunned. It seemed widely agreed that he's going to be big news in future." JF London Gig: 22 May, Hammersmith PalaisContact
