this album stands out in front of my collection. i return to this often when this is the sound the moment craves.
jehro explodes on the music scene with tracks that are undeniable. His voice would settle any person who likes a good tune into a joyful mood. This is the beginning for Jehro and the world that will love him for such an authentic sound. 10 stars
Who is this Jehro? Where has he been hiding? Apparently in France and New York. His MySpace profile says he is 107 years old, which perhaps explains his timeless blend of folk, alt rock, retro Caribbean with just a sprinkle of samba-salsa. Sounds a bit like Devendra Banhart minus the bizarreness, and/or Harry Belafonte fast-forwarded into the new millenium.
Fluffy is strange way to describe music, but that's how Jehro's songs sound, very clean, wonderful lyrics, happy even when they're sad. Very addictive sound. Try it. Just listen to Everything, and you'll be hooked.
Listen. Great voice, good lyrics, nice blend of sounds.
Take Reggae, add a dash of R&B, some Salsa and you've got Jehro. This album is fresh. If you like kickin' back to roots-style Reggae, but have missing a more contemporary sound, Jehro is your artist/album. Where has this guy been?? Have another Red Stripe, a margarita or a mojito and enjoy something original.
Just listen to the first song. You'll see.
