Light

2009 release from the Jewish Reggae star, the follow up to his 2006 studio album Youth. Light is anything but safe. Produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime, the Strokes), the 14 track collection covers a dizzying amount of stylistic ground, from hard-edged Dancehall ('Smash Lies') and Ska-inflected New Wave ('We Will Walk') to laidback Pop/Rock ('So Hi So Lo') and acoustic Folk-Soul ('I Will Be The Light'). Light finds Matisyahu edging away from his comfort zone into more daring territory.
