BIOGRAPHY TERROR FABULOUS
One of the most acclaimed reggae DJs to emerge during the early '90s was Terror
Fabulous. Compared often to Buju Banton, Fabulous issued several releases during
the decade, including such titles as Terror Fabulous, Lyrically Rough, and
Gwaney Gwaney. But Terror Fabulous' best-known album remains 1994's Yaga Yaga,
his only release for a major label (East West). Produced by Dave Kelly, the
album spawned such popular tracks as "Gangster's Anthem," and featured guest
appearances by several other artists, including Maxi Priest (on the track "Miss
Goody Goody"), Wayne Wonder, Daddy Screw, Nadine Sutherland, Brian Gold, Tony
Gold, and Gary Minott. In addition to his own releases, Terror Fabulous has
popped up on other artists' recordings, including En Vogue (Runaway Love),
Luciano (Where There Is Life), and Third World (Reggae Ambassadors: 20th
Anniversary Collection), although little was heard from him by the dawn of the
21st century. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
ABOUT JAHMALI'S EL SHADDAI
Cultural singer Jahmali could be described as part Yami Bolo, part Garnett
Silk, and part Morgan Heritage (especially on "Cry People"), but with a
distinct style all his own. Part of this style is, frankly, a crossover edge.
Whether it be the dance beat of "Babylon" or the oh-so-catchy hook of "21st
Century," Jahmali's material teeters on the brink of fluffiness, but never falls
over, as each song manages to balance any mainstream tendencies with cultural
lyrics, powerful vocals, righteous rhythms, and irresistible melodies (thus
making these songs not guilty pleasures, but simply pleasures). It's a wonder
that Jahmali has yet to make it big, since his sound should appeal to both
listeners who enjoy light, pop-tinged reggae and those who prefer more cultural
acts. He epitomizes the balance between being cultural and being "catchy."
Practically every one of the 14 songs on El Shaddai have a light, infectious,
"hummable" melody, yet virtually all are conscious, righteous, modern roots (I
don't mean to make it sound like there's a bunch of dance/hip-hop beats
throughout, because there aren't.). It's like crossing Maxi Priest with The
Abyssinians. There are a few dancehall and lovers-oriented tunes, but the
predominant sound is modern (often digital) roots, and more hardcore roots fans
should certainly enjoy numbers like "Hungry People," "Real Issues," and the airy
classic title track (How were none of these songs never included on any Reggae
Greats or Strictly the Best volumes?). The more dancehall-styled "Politics" and
the two lovers rock songs "Conscious Lover" and "Don't Blame It on Me" are also
quite good, as is almost every cut on El Shaddai.
