Clinton Fearon - Survival Vibration '2024

Tracks list

Clinton Fearon is a composer, songwriter, singer and player of instruments since
his early teens.

Born in Jamaica, Clinton became the bassist, vocalist and lyricist of the mythic
Gladiators at the age of 19. He was also a session musician for Coxsone Dodd at
Studio One and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s at Black Ark in the
70s, and many major producers on the island at this time. He composed some
everlasting bass lines for well-known artists like Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max
Romeo, Junior Byles and many others.

Each song of Clinton Fearon is a strong message coming from the heart of a man
who is dedicating his life to help a better world to come. With chiselled music
and poetic lyrics, he opens reggae to a wider audience who simply loves his
beautiful songs.

“Survival Vibration” is Clinton Fearon’s third acoustic
album, after “Mi An Mi Guitar” (2005) and “Heart And
Soul” (2012) and there is definitely an evolution. Like with the previous
ones, Clinton is performing all the instruments parts: guitar, bass, a bit of
drums, multiple percussions among Clinton’s favorites, and lots of human
sounds. His only collaboration was actually with birds he recorded on an island
of New Caledonia (Ouvea) in spring 2023. The acoustic guitar Clinton Fearon is
using in “Survival Vibration” is a James Goodal, different from
“Heart And Soul” (was a Martin’s) and from “Mi
An’ Mi Guitar” (a Yamaha). The bass, a beautiful acoustic Taylor,
remains the same on all three albums. The main musical difference with this last
album is the strong presence of the bass. As the former Gladiators said:
“I’m a bit broad shoulder with the bass. I’m a bass player
too. This album could have been titled ‘Mi An’ Mi
Bass’.”

“Survival Vibration” is a self-produced album of Clinton Fearon and
will be released on his own label Kool Yu Foot in April 2024.
