Morgan Heritage Return with New Album

MEDIA RELEASE: Thursday 6 June, 2013
Morgan Heritage Return with New Album

Here Come The Kings’

From an extraordinary talented teen quintet to one of reggae’s most powerful forces, Morgan Heritage are back with Here Come The Kings - the collective’s first musical arrangement in five years – due for release on the 14th of June.

Nearly two decades and 10 albums deep, Morgan Heritage have become globally known as the “Royal Family of Reggae” and established themselves as the premier live group on the Reggae Circuit.

The band’s latest studio album will “stimulate the minds of the people and let them know what we’ve created,” proclaims the group’s lead vocalist, Peetah Morgan.

Coming back together after respective solo careers and musical ventures, Morgan Heritage return refreshed and revived, while staying true to their authentic Rockaz style, brilliant instrumentation and empowering lyrics.

It’s also a confident and mature return, and Peetah applauds the album’s catchy hooks, impressive features and infectious riddims.

“The musicality of this project is attractive to the young generation while maintaining the uplifting content we’re known for,” says Peetah.

Their collaborations with ingenious young-blood producers such as Lamar Brown (Notice Productions), Shane C. Brown (Juke Boxx Productions) and multiple Grammy nominee Jason “J-Vibe” Farmer, have lead the band to explore new sounds that successfully fuse roots, RnB and a hint of dance hall.
