Thriller U & Ella Star - Hackle Dem Always

Review by maria gabriela viloria

Hackle Dem Always, the collaborative album by Thriller U and Ella Star, is a powerful showcase of their talents as reggae artists. From the first track, "Hackle Dem Always," listeners are drawn in by the driving rhythm and the artists' confident vocals. The album offers a mix of original tracks and covers, including a standout rendition of Bob Marley's "Is This Love." Throughout the album, Thriller U and Ella Star demonstrate their range as singers, with Thriller U's smooth, soulful voice complementing Ella Star's more forceful and emotive style. The lyrics address a range of social and political issues, including poverty, corruption, and the struggle for justice, giving the album a timely relevance. The production is top-notch, with a crisp sound and a mix of traditional and contemporary reggae elements. Hackle Dem Always is a must-listen for fans of reggae music and a testament to the enduring power of the genre.
