Matisyahu “Light”
Standouts - “Smash Lies,” “One Day,” “Darkness Into Light”

After proving that his Jewish roots inspired reggae rap wasn’t just a shtick, Matisyahu has blasted to the forefront of reggae rock, as one of the freshest acts around today. The much anticipated follow-up to 2006’s “Youth,” continues the common themes of peace and hope and features some big guest stars such as, Joel Madden, and Sublime producer David Kahne. “Light” does a wonderful job of capturing all of the energy from Matisyahu’s live shows and of exploring new electronic realms.
