Grind Reviews
While serving 8 years of a 15-year sentence for gun possession, robbery and rape (charges he has always denied), Jah Cure released three albums as he gained access to recording equipment in prison.   Upon his release in 2007 Jah Cure dropped ‘True Reflections… A New Beginning’ before the release of his latest work, ‘Universal Cure.’ While he has no doubt seen the darker side of life, Jah Cure’s latest album brings some truly beautiful reggae. With the only guest spots coming from Mavado, Flo-Rida and Jr. Reid (on ‘the fine ‘Hot Long Time’) and Phyllisia (on the personal ‘Mr. Jailer’) this 16-track album offers listeneres plenty of time to get closer to Jah Cure’s sound. Highlights include the melancholic ‘My Life,’ ‘Forever’ and ‘Green Grass,’ which tips it’s hat to Mavado’s ‘On The Rock.’ Jah Cure’s lyricism deals with everyday struggles, love, life and loss while his contemporary reggae sound offers some real cross-over appeal to those both in and outside reggae circles. It is testament to Jah Cure’s skills that even where he takes on Bob Marley’s classic ‘Burning And Looting’ he manages to stay his own man. With a mixture of laid back, emotive tracks and steady reggae this album is not aimed at the hardcore club scene but rather suited to some hazy Sunday listening. Whatever Jah Cure’s past legal woes may have been he remains a truly talented artist who may just have found a way from his woes.
