Yutman Records is proud to present the new album release by Jamaican Roots-Reggae singer Mark Wonder!
"Reflections of the Dragon Slayer" is the culmination of his Dragon
Slayer trilogy, which began in 2017 with "Dragon Slayer" (Irie Ites,
Fr.) and continued in 2020 with "Remz of the Dragon Slayer" (Oneness
Records, Ger.). Now, another three years later, Kingston meets Berlin.
Produced by Jon Moon and mastered by Ganjaman at Planet Earth Studios
Berlin, the album will be released on April 21st 2023.
Those who have been following the releases of Yutman Records for a
while might recognise the riddims from previous releases, which have now
been voiced anew by Mark Wonder. Featuring five versatile tunes, three
dubs and an acoustic version, "Reflections of the Dragon Slayer" shows
the musical and thematic range of the Jamaican singer.
The slow, meditative opener "Controlled Hypocrisy" calls for
revolutionary thinking, while "African People" is a tribute to Mark
Wonder's African roots. The next tune and the album’s first single
"Urgency" draws attention to political, economic and ecological
grievances. "Power for the People" is meant to give us strength in this
struggle. The heartfelt love song "For the Reason" completes the album.
Additionally the album features a special acoustic version of "For
the Reason", only consisting of grand piano, guitar, and violin, as well
as three dub versions, one of which remixed by German veteran Ganjaman.
