Music Review: Ramez mixes blues and reggae for rhythmic spiritual …

His first EP Wake Up and Dream released by Poets and Madmen is about God life and social and political struggles. The first track “Someday” has strong electric guitar solos but feels a bit shallow with the way the lyrics are presented. It’s almost as if it’s two different songs – the melody and solos are bluesy while the vocals are straight-up reggae. This theme of mixing blues and reggae is obvious throughout the record. It occasionally works but sometimes feels somewhat forced. The lyrics are undoubtedly reggae-driven especially in the presentation.

They have even compared it to that limb from a tree that has grown out of proportion with confusing lyrics. It is high time they know that even though they keep singing about people suffering and looking out towards the motherland this does not change their state of life. P: Who is your main influence? MV: Almighty God Barrington Levy and my fans.
