Mavado has announced more details about his upcoming debut album from VP Records. It’s titled - Gangsta For Life: The Symphony of David Brooks and it’s set to release on July 10th. Mavado draws his musical stylings from dancehall veteran Bounty Killer, so be prepared for ruff and aggressive lyrics and spitfire energy. But this album showcases some of his more gospel talents as well with songs like “Pon The Gully Side” and “Born and Raised”.
“Dreaming”:
I was not able to find an official tracklist for the upcoming album, but Yardflex lists off these songs as definitely being included:
“Dreamin,” “Weh Dem A Do,” “Sadness,” which touches pon the death of his father, “Pon The Gully Side,” “Born and Raised” and “Dying”. This last tune is reportedly a tribute to Tupac’s lyrical power, and has already proven a hit on Jamaica’s and New York’s radio airwaves and video television shows.
“Dying”:
Unfortunately, this album uses the one thing I hate most in modern music: the auto-tuner. And much too much of it. I blame VP Records for that. It’s all over Sean Paul’s albums too. If somebody took that out, I think I’d really dig this album. But, with the auto-tuner in place, this album will probably have much wider commercial success. Or at least, the label believes so. The notion of what equals commercial success is how Columbia Records ruined Morgan Heritage’s debut album, yet they discovered huge international popularity immediately after leaving Columbia. Maybe this is the path set before Movado as well.
