Stephen Marley, Bob Marley’s first son, is about to release his 3rd solo album.
Stephen Raggae Marley, is a singer, a songwriter, a gifted producer and amusician with 7 time Grammy Award winning, and he is also a Freedom Fighter.
He is releasing his new album with Ghetto Youths/Tuff Gong/Universal Republic on May 24 2011 under the title “Revelation Part I: Rooots Of Life.”
The album, as the name allows to guess, is part of a double project: “THE ROOT OF LIFE”, that explores the revelation of music and its roots and beginnings, will be followed by the release of “REVELATION PT 2: THE FRUIT OF LIFE”, (already recorded and due in fall of 2011), is designed to show where the music has gone since the early days.
The double project was recorded at both Kingston’s Tuff Gong Studios, the legendary Marley ‘s family studio in Kingston, and in Miami, where Stephen lives.
The Root Of Life includes 14th tracks of powerful messages and hope, touching subjects like slavery, rejection, false friends and love.
The Song “Jah Army”, with Damian Marley and Buju Banton, a masterpiece and a ras tafari anthem, is the first single from the album, a Rasta worship song, with heavy drums and bass lines that underlines the importance of music for spreading the Rastafarian beliefs.

“Inspire I with clever adjectives and pronouns/ To influence da’yout dem with word power and sound.”
“No Cigarettes Smoking In My Room”, the amazing love duet with Melanie Fiona ,another standing out single included in the new album, is a very romantic song that still remarks rasta beliefs like staying tobacco free.
Other songs included are “Now I Know” the perfect song about moving on, “Made In Africa”, “Old Slaves””Can’t Keep I Down”.
“The Revelation Part II : The Fruit Of Life” will be a more open type of record with songs for the club, dancehall songs and love songs but it still will be filled with conscious good music you can always take something positive from”
is what Stephen says about it.
