The vocal trio Emeterians have released their latest album “Lockdown Project”, co-produced by Cosme Deyah. The album features 10 tracks recorded during the lockdown in Spain, in August 2020. It was finally released on September 17th, 2021, via VPAL Music.
Emeterians (Sistah MaryJane, Brother Wildman & Maga Lion), the harmony group from Spain, bring 10 new tracks with a different flavour. Also produced by friend and Spanish producer based in the UK, Cosme Deyah, their 7th studio album was recorded during lockdown in Madrid, in August 2020, at their own home studio. With two singles released in mid 2021: “Be Careful” with Forward Ever Band & “Call Me Anytime You Want” placed in the best Reggae playlists such as Crucial Reggae and Apple Music´s Dubwise, the trio drops two perfect references of what the album is all about… classic Roots harmonies over a mix of Reggae, Rap and Dub instrumentals that they built, recorded and arranged themselves.
Emeterians are a group that blends traditional Jamaican music with Rap and Soul to create their own unique sound. Their album, “Lockdown Project,” features a mix of classic skanks and 808s on tracks like “Irie” and “Not Dem,” and they pay tribute to their favourite Reggae artists on a re-lick of the classic riddim “Real Rock.” The album also includes features from Kumar (from Raging Fyah) and Tubby Boy (an emerging UK Hip Hop artist) on “Outta Babylon” and “Tell Lie Vision,” respectively.
The “Lockdown Project” starts with the autobiographic gem “Our Story” in which the group sings about their begginings and their London experience. This album has a new taste, mixing 808´s with classic skanks on some tracks like “Irie”, or “Not Dem”, talkbox and vocals perfectly blending on “Super Lady” with J.M.Boix on lead guitar, a re-lick on the classic riddim “Real Rock” in which they tribute some of their favourite Reggae artists…
With great featurings from Kumar (ex Raging Fyah) and Tubby Boy (emerging UK Hip Hop artist) on “Outta Babylon” & “Tell Lie Vision” in which they mix Hip Hop with classic harmonies, make the album complete.
“Our music and lyrics are specially meant for the new generations. In this project we mixed modern elements like 808´s, trap hihats or even some sampling to our classic style of Reggae so we can also connect with the younger audience all over the World, while keeping faithfull to our style and fans…” said Maga Lion, who mixed and mastered all tracks, except for “Be Careful” by Saul Wolf.
Emeterians also met Cosme to record new music in Summer 2021, so maybe a Lockdown Project Part 2 will soon be a reality… meanwhile they are booking festivals and events in Europe for 2022, also looking forward on travelling to Jamaica and the US.
