Jamaican-born singer-songwriter Etana revealed arguably her fiercest, most thought-provoking material ‘Better Tomorrow’ on Tuesday last.
Recorded at Kingston’s legendary Tuff Gong Studios, Etana’s third studio album ‘Better Tomorrow’ (VP Records) is a true testament to her evolved sound.
Early accolades have begun to roll in. VIBE proclaims “the reggae ruler is back,” and BBC raves ‘Better Tomorrow’ is “her most vocally subtle and seamless album to date.” BBC adds that her first single “Reggae” is “perhaps her finest piece of songwriting yet,” and new track “Queen” is scorching soulful roots, which fuses Bob Marley with India.Arie.”
With a fresh perspective and baby daughter born in November 2012, Etana offers newfound clarity on ‘Better Tomorrow’. Her powerful songwriting and evocative vocals ride effortlessly over soulful reggae melodies on this 14-track collection produced primarily by Jamaica’s own Shane C. Brown of Jukeboxx Recordings. Etana is “moving ahead from struggles of yesterday on a musical journey that uplifts the mind, body and the raw soul,” as she eloquently explains on ‘Better Tomorrow’s’ intro “Spoken Soul.” (Headline Entertainment)
