Skarra Mucci - Perfect Timing2023 '2023

Tracks list

Skarra Mucci is a Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall artist born in Kingston. Known
as the "Dancehall President", his career counts 7 solo albums, including the
essential "Return of the Raggamuffin" (2012) and countless classics and cult
collaborations, such as the hit 9 "My Sound" from the album "Greater Than Great"
(2014) which exceeds 15 million cumulative streams and the critically acclaimed
album "Dancehall President" (2016) with its tour of more than 100 dates around
the world, from Mexico to China. 5 years after the release of "Skarra Mucci &
The One Love Family" (2018), this essential figure of Jamaican music, with his
versatile flow and recognizable voice, announces a new studio album with
multiple influences "Perfect Timing", to be released on September 29, 2023. The
album opens with a hybrid Roots-tinged Hip-Hop riddim. Brass and percussion
resonate throughout the track as Skarra Mucci gives way to a mesmerizing voice
sample that gives the track “Here I Come” all its depth. An
introduction that sets the tone for an album tinged with a mix of genres brought
together by producer Undisputed Records and his team of top riddim makers.
"Perfect Timing" is an ode to Reggae of all eras, full of nods to the Sound
System culture, from its origins to the present day. From the choice of the
featurings to that of the beats, nothing is left to chance to offer us a journey
through the highlights of this rich culture which has never ceased to evolve,
without any period being left behind. For his first single, Skarra Mucci has
chosen to announce the release of his 8th solo album with a big name of the
contemporary French Reggae scene by inviting Yaniss Odua on the track "Roots
Rock Reggae". Accustomed to albums teeming with successful collaborations,
"Perfect Timing" is obviously no exception to the rule. We find in particular on
the title "Street Dance" the essential French producers of L'Entourloop, with
whom he released the very successful EP "Golden Nuggets" (2019, 6 titles, 20M
cumulative streams) to drop once again a banger between Hip-Hop and Dancehall in
line with their huge 2013 hit “Dreader Than Dread” (42M cumulative
streams). Jamaican legend Johnny Osbourne also takes part in the celebration
offering a version of his 80s classic "What A La La" here performed by French
riddim maker specialized in Digital Reggae, Manudigital. Skarra Mucci continues
his exploration of various styles and influences with the very groovy
"Dancehall", produced by the Dub Akom band, in which he lets us perceive all his
class and swing. We also find the massive “Who Fool Them”, a UK
stepper track produced by Evidence Music, as long as the future Dancehall
classic “Rappa Pam Pam”, or the mystic “Misty Babylon”
in a much more Roots Reggae register. The album "Perfect Timing" ends with the
eponymous title, on a Lovers Rock riddim carried by a joyful melodies and a
groovy bass. A finale in the form of a declaration of love for Reggae, this
music which gave him so much and to which he gave everything
