Alborosie doesn’t want anything for his birthday this year. Instead, he is giving something back! The Italian born reggae singer, born on the 4th of July is commemorating his birthday with the free release of his new track ‘Listen To The Waves’. The song starts with an intentional off-key rendition o of the ‘Star Bangled Banner’ and then flows into a chant of a crowd. In a message to fans, Albo says, “support the cause black lives matter, we are marching for freedom, we are singing for freedom, equal rights, and justice that what we have been saying from a long time.”
Recent Alborosie projects on VP Records’ Greensleeves imprint were “Dub For The Radicals – Alborosie Meets The Roots Radics,” which was engineered, produced and mixed by Alborosie using vintage analog gear, dub sirens, reel to reel tape, and live instrumentation from Alborosie and reggae icons the ‘Roots Radics’. And the critically acclaimed 2018 album “Unbreakable: Alborosie Meets The Wailers United”, which featured performances by Barret and Downey among others.
