About the album “Singing In Self Defence” by Jonahgold:
The debut solo album from Jonahgold draws from decades of experience producing and working with top artists and musicians in the field. Crucial lessons have been learned from Dennis Bovell, Internal Dread, Gordon Cyrus, Leafnuts just to name a few. Many legendary names show up on the album. Zilverzurf passed by to add trembling guitars. Desmond Foster blessed a track and layed down the tighest bass anyone has ever recorded (We Naah Bow). Daniel Spahni mastered some drums just like he does with Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Dennis Bovell Dub Band. “Mysticman” didn't add much except for a lickle chip-guitar but was in charge of quality control without even knowing it. Janne Baah opened the Red Hut Studio in Skärblacka and added his expertise of mixing treble and bass. Papa Dee, DJ Rock Ski/Ayodele Shekoni, Brynn Settels, Million Stylez and many many more pros gave advice and encouragement.Jonahgold's reggae is modern. Influenced by the times yet firmly grounded in a roots tradition. Organs and guitars squeal and distort while the drums punch their way through the mix in an up to date kind of way. Some of the chord progressions will bring joy to jazz and funk lovers. The dub aspect is always there. Lyrics is what it's all about so take a dive and join in...!
The 11-track album is as a whole a response to the events the world has just witnessed and is still witnessing. Reggae has traditionally been a vehicle for standing up for human rights, as well as a source of information. This album is in line with this fine tradition. It is also a call for other artists to speak up. The time to do so is now!
Veteran, producer and sound-engineer Jonahgold stands up from the mixingdesk and grabs the microphone under the device: - ”I guess I'll have to do it myself then...”.
