Miguel 'Sizzla Kolanji' Collins is set to release his 65th. The album titled The Scriptures is produced by John John and is set for official release today online, where it will be distributed digitally by Zojack. The physical copy will be in stores by June 21st. Sizzla, who expressed that he is very disgruntled about the present state of the Jamaican music, said that he read an article which said that the music is depressing and he hopes that the good efforts put in this professionally crafted album will change that perception. According to the artiste the album is very positive and spiritual hence being called The Scriptures. "This title came about spontaneous, a friend (Trev), was listening to the albu]m and suggested that we call it The Scriptures because of the natural inspiration that he was getting from the songs," he explained. The album is acoustic and bears 14 tracks, according to John John the main producer. "This album took over a year to complete because we wanted perfection, and trust me the entire world can appreciate this one," he told The STAR, while noting that a chapter two for the album would be released in the next two months. Sizzla pointed to Shield and Guide along with The Scriptures (title track) as his favourites. Sizzla says he will be doing a series of tours in Africa, Japan, Brazil, Guyana, among other countries in the Caribbean to promote the album. When asked how he had managed the work ethic to release 65 albums in such a short time, he replied, "I get the inspiration from Rastafari, life, The Black Nation and all other people like those suffering from worldwide crisis, so there is always something to speak about". The artiste also boasted that all the tracks are exclusive, and that there is a feature from a popular Canadian rapper as well, "not even I don't know all the songs on the album, to the extent to which its exclusive," he joked. |
