Bob Marley and The Wailers Legend is the world's best-selling reggae album with global sales exceeding 40 million copies, including more than 14 million in the U.S. The classic and timeless singles are revisited and revamped in Legend Remixed.
The new album has 16 tracks that have been remixed by top DJs and producers. The long and extensive list of musical geniuses include producer Stephen Marley, Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, Jason Bentley, Z-Trip featuring Lee "Scratch" Perry, Photek, My Morning Jacket's Jim James, Roni Size, RAC, Beats Antique, Nickodemus & Zeb, as well as a new rendition remix of "Redemption Song" by five-time Grammy Award winning reggae artist and album's producer, Ziggy Marley.
“Waiting In Vain” opens the album and has a psychedelic approach with the original sound. This style is mirrored in the single “Could You Be Loved.” In “Could You Be Loved” has a funky and high life beat with the fusion of guitar and bass.
Ziggy’s “Redemption Song” is powerful and patriotic single that has the perfect melding of guitar, harmonica, and drums. The single “Is This Love” moves away from the classic sound and takes a more dance club beat sound. It showcases Marley’s vocals of the repetition of some phrases from the song.
This love song has been reinvented into a catchy hypnotic dance beat that will keep you moving. The same club dub-esque vibe continues in “Jamming.” The difference is that Marley’s vocals are showcased more throughout the song.
The songs have an electric beat and dub swaggers combined with the rhythmic reggae sound. It stays true to the iconic sound that will take you down memory lane reminiscing of the good times.
Bob Marley was one of the most influential artists of all time; his spirit, music and philosophy still live on.
