Mikey General – Hailelujah Song – Press Release

Mikey General Hailelujah Song, will be his 12th studio album and soon will hit the streets for all reggae lovers to consume.

It is set to be released on December 3rd 2013 on the Barcelona based Reggaeland label, the 15 track set contains two already acclaimed singles “Jah Will Be There” and “King Selassie I Alone”.

Recorded partly in the prestigious Tuff Gong studios in Kingston and partly in Reggaeland’s own Barcelona studio, the album is the result of a two year long profound musical research effort with the aim to cater a broader audience with the simple and universal messages of Rastafari. The title sums up the whole story behind this well rounded work very clearly. In the words of Mikey General “Hailelujah Song” comes from Haile which means power and Lujah which means of Jah, so Hailelujah Song is the Power of Jah Song”

“When Mikey records in Tuff Gong it is always quite an event. People pack the studio to see this mystical and musical experience. But I believe that it is in the recording sessions in Barcelona that the special alchemy between artist and producer reached its climax” Marcus Reggaeland.

As it’s title would suggest, “Hailelujah Song” appears to be more of the same sweet brand of Roots Reggae music that fans have come to expect from the General throughout his excellent career. Over the years, while a level of superstardom has seemed to elude him, Mikey General has really been one of the most consistent and respected of voices in the entire genre.

The same could be said for the work of ReggaeLand who, along with doing the aforementioned sizeable album for Anthony Que and others, have really made a strong rise of their own and have maintained a healthy release schedule of tracks and singles over the past couple of years. So, the new album figures to be a very strong one.
