Roots empress Dezarie has blessed the reggae community with the deliverance of her latest recording "Eaze The Pain". Released on the Afrikan Roots Lab record label, this album emerges from the seeds planted on her previous amazing albums "FYA" her debut release and the classic “Gracious Mama Africa”.
Gracious Mama Africa transports the incredible voice of Dezarie to a whole new level - the highest heights. Her foundation is firmly established in songs such as "Travelers" and the title track. The brilliance and clarity of Dezarie's voice is reverently unveiled on "Exhalt". Gracious Mama Africa abounds with pleas for social justice and racial equality with selections like "Poverty", "Strengthen Your Mind" and "Justice".
But to this listener, the strength and power of Dezarie is most strikingly displayed in her condemnation of so-called civilization. "Gone Down", "Not One Penny", "Law Fe De Outlaw", "Slew Dem An Done" and "Judgment Come" all deliver conscious punches that penetrate the soul.
"Do what you want, wheresoever you please. Bombing Vieques, yes your bombing the seas. Lock up anyone that was opposing. Speaking against the nonsense that you were doing. But babylon you gone down, you gone down. Babylon funeral, you gone down." - Dezarie
After receiving Atlanta's "Best New Female Reggae Artist" award in 2001, Dezarie returned to her native island of St. Croix. Since that time, she has been working none stop with Midnite and Producer Ron Benjamin. the Midnite trademark sound is fully displayed on all her albums.
it is evident that Midnite’s Ron Benjamin worked tirelessly in the production and mixing of Gracious Mama, Eaze The pain and the to-be released “Move Militant”, which is sure to become one of the best Female roots albums of all time.
