Echoes - June 2022

For this month's issue of Echoes I interviewed two of the biggest names in Jamaican music - dancehall legend Sean Paul, giving us the lowdown on his latest album Scorcha - and former Island Records' founder Chris Blackwell, whose autobiography The Islander is a must read account of the man who signed Bob Marley, Grace Jones, Toots & The Maytals, Burning Spear, Free, Nick Drake, John Martyn, Stevie Winwood, Sly & Robbie, Fairport Convention and Bunny Wailer, among others.

The 50th Anniversary of Perry Henzell's film The Harder They Come is the subject of this month's Vibes column; Run The Track has latest releases from Protoje, Bob Marley and the Chineke! Orchestra, Black Am I, Shuga, J Written, Khalia and Ginjah, whilst the reggae album reviews pages feature Havana Meets Kingston 2, Groundation, Shaggy and Black Uhuru.
