Jah Mel sees himself as a musical bridge between the original reggae sound & the dancehall sound of today, representing what he calls the real dancehall revolution, merging the spirituality of the old school & the energy of the new school. « Guiding Star » and « Stand Up To It » are the perfect examples to overstand this definition. Both song were produced by Roydale Anderson aka Andy's. « Guiding Star » will definitly give you thrills if you are into deep synth and heavy digital rhythm while the superb piano notes will warm you in the analog style. Beware of « Guiding Star » dub version called « Guidance (Dance Mix) » that will break any bunker. « Stand Up To It » rhythm is an adaptation of one of the most classic jamaican riddim called « Heavenless ». You will never know this riddim like before, This version takes the riddim to another level. A positive song with a bionic nuclear bomb dubwise. Play it loud, Jah is our guiding star!
