PROTOJE - PROFILE:
Singer: Protoje
Location: Kingston, Jamaica
Music Genre: Reggae
Biography:
PROTOJE author composer of talent is regarded as one of the precursors of the Jamaican movement "REGGAE REVIVAL". Affirming its dissenting side worldwide, he assumes his responsibility towards the society as an artist.
Thus it makes a point of composing his albums, engaged sets of themes made with conscious lyrics. His new and fourth album that came out on June 29th. "A MATTER OF TIME" is a very expected opus of the public and criticism which had lauded the latest one, "FUTURE ANCIENT", released in 2015 wich included the famous hit "WHO KNOWS" Feat. CHRONIXX (70 million sights on Youtube, play-listed on the BBC and the French famous radio 'Radio Nova').
The first singles of this new album were already out: politically committed "BLOOD MONEY" which has had a large success played live, and "TRUTHS & RIGHTS" featuring MORTIMER, rising star of the Jamaican scene which accompanies PROTOJE on a title. This song tells about the importance of political commitment in the emancipation through reggae music, as it began in Jamaica.
Then the very expected "END NOON" followed in February with a throbbing melody. It is a happy song which mix an aggressive battery of the hip-hop, low a jazz funk/rub-a-dub and more whimsical notes of guitars inspired by the R&B.
Fourth and last piece to date: a new combination of a high flight with CHRONIXX, "NO GUARANTEE" which still promises a large success when played live, and more to come since the BBC and Billboard were already tuned !
You will have understood it, from June 29th onward, PROTOJE and its band THE INDIGGNATION will be fine loans to make you take off with a new sound which confirms PROTOJE among the worthiest heirs to the movement.
