Album of the month: Jah Cure - "True Reflections"

Three days after Jah Cure's early parole from the Spanish Town prison where he had served eight years of a fifteen year sentence, his fourth album "True Reflections... A New Beginning" was released proving that Babylon's prison walls just could not keep this man's spirit and creative talents in captivity. "True Reflections" released on the VP records label, has many tracks that showcase Jah Cure's proclivity for Rastafari influenced Word, Sound and Power.

The fifteen tracks contained within the album, all have a very easy listening ability about them. You can tell this cd is different from his earlier works, which have a more raw, rasta rebel sound. While "True Reflections" may have a more polished character it doesn't stray too far from his foundational works.
