International Reggae icon, Grammy winner and a multiple Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping artist, Buju Banton releases today his much-anticipated album, “Upside Down 2020,” his first full-length studio album in a decade. Banton’s last studio album, Before the Dawn, was released in 2010.
“The sounds on this versatile set range from state-of-the-art dancehall to classic roots reggae to R&B and pop-flavored collaborations with the likes of John Legend, Pharrell and Stefflon Don,” as described in the current vibe Magazine.
The quintessential artist celebrated his return to the worldwide stage following his performance at Kingston’s Famed National Stadium. The Long Walk to Freedom Concert was one of the biggest music events in Jamaica’s history and was the launching pad for the tour of the same name.
His subsequent announcement that he had signed with Roc Nation was followed with Banton releasing four brand-new songs, with accompanying music or lyric videos, “Steppa,” “Trust,” “Memories” featuring the incomparable John Legend and “Blessed” energized his impressive global audience.
While “Blessed” is now exploding, “Memories” is a Top 20 record at radio and is #1 on the iTunes Reggae chart.
