KINGSTON, Jamaica – Gargamel Music, Inc. in conjunction with Penthouse Music and VP Music Group, is pleased to announce that the eagerly anticipated Buju Banton Inna Heights – 10th Anniversary Edition CD/DVD will drop digitally tomorrow, Tuesday, January 15th and be available in stores next Tuesday, January 22nd.
The follow up to Banton’s classic ‘Til Shiloh album, Inna Heights, originally released in November 1997, furthered the artist’s exploration of roots reggae with such spiritually enriching tunes as “Destiny,” “Hills & Valleys,” “Give I Strength” and “Close One Yesterday.” The album received rave reviews from a host of international media outlets, including All Music Guide:
“And with Inna Heights he succeeds beyond most people’s greatest expectations, capturing the glory of Jamaican music in virtually all its forms, imbuing it with the excitement of the dancehalls, yet ensuring that its cultural underpinnings shine forth…The thoughtful “Hills,” the lovely, introspective “Destiny,” the optimism and strength of “Close One Yesterday,” the infectious prayer “Give I Strength,” and the heartfelt appreciation of the “Single Parent” — everyone is a classic. In fact, virtually every song on this album is phenomenal.”
Digitally-remastered, the Inna Heights – 10th Anniversary Edition boasts 3 previously unreleased tracks from the time period: “Bad Boy,” “Politics Time Again” and “Situations” featuring Morgan Heritage. The 2 Disc Deluxe package also includes a Bonus DVD containing 40 minutes of live footage from Reggae Sumfest, circa 1996, and the accompanying music video for the smash single “Destiny.” Click to preview clips from the performance: www.myspace.com/bujubanton.
