Music reviews of Youth
Music Review: Youth is Exuberant
Rating: 5 Stars
I must say that I was intrigued by the concept of a reggae band fronted by a Hasidic Jew, but what really drew me in is the quality of his beats, the fluid movement of the rhymes and the spiritual messages in the songs, I'm picky about music and I can't seem to find a song on this album I don't at least enjoy. My wife and I even chose to play "Unique is my Dove" as our first dance at the wedding. Keep an eye on this band, they'll be going places.
Description of Youth
The thumbnail description of Matisyahu: File under Hasidic Beatbox Reggae. Despite having markings of novelty, it's really nothing of the sort. Fronted by a man named Matisyahu (born Matthew Miller), they are truly a band. Two independently released CDs brought them a rapid and well-deserved ascent, making their signing with a major label a logical step. Youth benefits from a more expansive sound and production by the fantastic Bill Laswell (Golden Palominos, Laurie Anderson, the Last Poets). Matisyahu's singing and the substance of his songs (spiritual living, self-awareness, the value of knowledge and learning, kindness to others) are presented with a loving sincerity, and buoyed by tremendous musicianship. In particular, drummer Jonah David and guitarist Aaron Dugan bring a wider set of influences and interests to their playing than the reggae tag the band often gets. Free of any proselytizing, this melding of Talmudic teachings and Jamaican rhythms flows so naturally that it underscores the shared roots of the two cultures. --David Greenberger
