Sizzla - Den Why

Review by Jennifer Cornbleet

Den Why, the latest album by Sizzla, is a powerful and thought-provoking work that showcases his unique blend of reggae, dancehall, and conscious lyrics. From the opening track, "I'm Yours," Sizzla sets the tone with his signature vocal style and politically charged lyrics, addressing issues such as poverty, corruption, and inequality.

Throughout the album, Sizzla's lyrics are both uplifting and confrontational, challenging listeners to think critically about the world around them. Tracks like "Thank You Mama" and "Chant Dem Down" offer messages of hope and unity, while others like "Mind Over Matter" and "No Time to Gaze" take a more confrontational approach, calling out social injustice and the need for change.

Musically, Den Why is a rich and diverse album, with Sizzla incorporating elements of roots reggae, dub, and even hip-hop into his sound. The production is top-notch, with crisp beats and lush instrumentation that perfectly complement Sizzla's powerful vocals.

Summary by Jennifer Cornbleet

Den Why is a must-listen for fans of conscious reggae and dancehall. Sizzla has once again proven himself to be one of the genre's most important and influential artists, delivering an album that is both socially relevant and musically captivating.
