The title track from a forthcoming album, ‘Clarion Call’ follows a previous Tyler/Prof collaboration on a Poptones-released album around 20 years ago.
The follow-up will be well worth the wait if the first fruits from it, i.e. this single, are anything to go by. It’s a simply wonderful track, a lovely breath of perky reggae/dub with a positive message and some great instrumental breaks, as well as Xan’s bright and optimistic vocal.
There are reminders of possibly ‘Uptown Top Ranking’ and some Special AKA tracks, and the overall thrust is of unifying defiance (‘We Are One’, ‘They Seek To Divide Us’), statements well-timed and required at this particular juncture…
BM looks forward to the album and highly recommends this release – it will leave a smile on your face, and make your toes tap – use it to check whether you are actually still alive…
