KATT 'CHANT'

Rising from Jamaica’s North Coast Hotel circuit and aiming to the international stardom in reggae music, here comes Katt a promisingly rasta singer who could very soon  become  a very important figure in reggae music. His debut album, entitled ‘Chant’, produced by Norman King and released on the singer’s own Jamaican label, ‘Katt’s Productions’, is a very enjoyable set which becomes stronger and stronger each time you listen to it. Katt’s style is original but firmly set in the tradition of Jamaican singers like Luciano, Frankie Paul and Sugar Minott. His voice is hot, his melodies are sweet, rootsy and heartical and showcase an artist who perfectly rides the very tuff riddims provided by his musicians (lead by Norman King) and who sometimes is able even to handle a delivery somewhat a bit similar to the sing-jay style, if necessary. The rhythms can stand comparisons with those produced by labels like Penthouse or X-terminator (‘Natty’ a single off the album is being distributed throughout Jamaica by Penthouse label itself) and make this cd a true compelling set with the second half literally mesmerizing. The highlights on this album, among the others,  are ‘Mama’, ‘Natty’ (a true rub-a-dub killer!) and the mighty ‘Lucifer’s Powder’ (a term which the conscious singer wittingly refers to the hard drugs). It is strange that international labels like Ras or VP haven’t still given this singer a deal for the international distribution of this release!
