Nothing et Jolly Joseph : we have messages for you
The album starts with the tasty “Make you cry” were the falsetto voice of Jolly Joseph gives the tempo of the album. A very dense bass line and rhythm guitar balanced by the rolling drums. Jolly Joseph even allows himself a singjay part that a Prince Far I. From painful stories come the most gorgeous songs. The latter goes in dub with a very good organ and brass piece.
No prayer, no tears will ever bring you back to me
There is no more hope, no more tomorrow
Everything is gone except the sorrow and I have nothing left
No more reason to live.
“Messenger” gets louder with a powerful rhythm of the Nothing. Rocker style. To get this message across. We can find the “I am tha I am” of Peter Tosh in this very beautiful message sublimated by the extraordinary voice of jolly joseph.
I am a Messenger, I do what I am made to d
Nothing’s “No Water”: A Conscious Dive into Existence and Dancehall Roots
A powerful and conscious album, “No water” by Nothing, featuring Jolly Joseph, doesn’t shy away from weighty themes. The album’s opening tracks grapple with existential questions and societal critique, underscored by a driving musicality.The tragic story of Steve, whose body was found a month later. Steve has become a symbol for those who denounce police violence and abuse of authority.
Many people came to dance (…) Suddenly, everything changed.
The dancers dispersed in the smoke
Fourteen have fallen, but thirteen have risen
In the wrong place at the wrong time.
A very powerful bass for “No Water” which almost evokes the sound of the siren of a large ship to speak to us about our existence. We run, and sometimes we miss the essential. When we take stock of our lives, what remains? Have we always made the right choice? The choirs give depth to this conscious title which may reflect on more than one person (while dancing, though).
The man made his life a race
But this race is endless.
Man has made his world a prison
But no one can escape hell
