Better World finally done!

Already receiving great reviews, Chuck Foster of the Beat magazine had this to say about the album:

“Sweet grooving tracks with fluid lead guitar, tasty horns, angelic background harmonies and alternating male and female lead vocals add depth and give resonance to Soul Majestic’s latest release Better World. The lyrics address social issues, hard living and triumphant life. This is reggae music to carry you through the rough times into the natural sunlight. Dub, roots, rockers and other elements combine to make a statement that looks harsh reality in the eye and comes up soulful and majestic.”

Free song download!

This album has been a process of growth and overcoming challenges. In the process, singer Oriana was diagnosed with, treated for, and cured of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Through that experience a song for the Better World album called I Rise was born. It offers hope and strength to anyone overcoming adversity.
