Marcia Griffiths - Melody Life
Review by JOHNPAUL OKAFOR
Melody Life, the latest album by Grammy-nominated reggae artist Marcia Griffiths, is a soulful and uplifting collection of songs that showcases her powerful vocals and infectious rhythms.
From the opening track "Hold You Tight," which features a catchy melody and upbeat tempo, to the closing ballad "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," Griffiths delivers a range of emotions with her signature style and grace.
The album also features collaborations with some of the biggest names in reggae music, including Toots and the Maytals and Chronixx, adding depth and variety to the overall sound.
Standout tracks include the title track "Melody Life," a nostalgic tribute to the golden age of Jamaican music, and "What Kind of World," a powerful call to action for social justice and equality.

About Marcia Griffiths
Jamaican singer, born November 23, 1949 in West Kingston.
Marcia Griffiths started singing professionally in 1964, for Byron Lee and the Dragonaires band. Her recording years started soon after, at Coxsone Dodds - Studio One where she recorded her first hit Feel Like Jumping." While recording at Studio One Marcia teamed up with Bob Andy and many duet recordings followed.
Following that duet success, she went solo again on the High Note label with Reggae's sole established female producer - Sonia Pottinger - hitting with several songs.
Ten years after entering the music business, Marcia united with Judy Mowatt and Rita Marley to form the I-Threes as an important part of the Bob Marley entourage.
