| "Mind
Control", the album's title track
starts the album with a jazzy sound and Stephen
talks about how people and entities try to gain
influence in your space and how you must be
strong.
Mos
Def comes through on "Hey Baby" and
both talk about having faith that a special
someone will come back despite the trails and
tribulations outside of the relationship or
home.
Spragga
Benz, Julian Marley and Mr. Cheeks join Stephen
on "Iron Bars", a song about being
a prisoner and trying to get out! This doesn't
have be a physical prison either it can all
be in the mind. This track is an upbeat tune
that you can dance to as well as think on.
Damian
and Stephan talk about getting harassed by the
cops and also hate in general in "The Traffic
Jam". The beat features old school beatboxing
and is real catchy. The roles of the officer
and the car passengers are played by the brothers
and it's no surprise this was the first single.
"You're Gonna Leave" sounds like a
dream over a break beat! Marley talks about
where he stands as a man in a relationship and
the journey he needs to take especially with
this particular lady.
"Chase Dem" is has a vintage Marley
sound filled with a instruments and a group
of ladies backing Stephen as he sings about
politicians and corruption. It's important that
we remember that politicians work for us and
not the other way around so if they don't do
what we like we
can get them out of office.
"Lonely
Avenue" is 3rd single material and is a
song you'd like to have on with the lights on
and a significant other in your arms. Not sappy
but soulful, this song talks about doing you're
best even if it doesn't seem like it's good
enough!
New
to my ears, Maya Azucena sings and Illestr8
raps adding to the salsa feel to "Let Her
Dance", "Fed Up "reminds me of
a rainy day and trying to pick up the pieces
from a faulty situation and Ben Harper joins
Stephen on "Juna Di Red", a track
that reminds me of tribes and being in Africa
although the topic is in part about relieving
stress and finding peace.
Overall I give the album 4.5 GeoGlobes!
