Renowned St. Lucian musician and activist Taj Weekes returns with a powerful new album, Eyes To See, released on August 30 and now available on all streaming platforms. A collaboration between Jatta Records and Skank Records, this highly anticipated project blends reggae, blues, and world music, co-produced by Sidney Mills and Shelton Garner, and featuring the remarkable vocals of Zion Albert. Eyes To See is a profound journey through themes of social justice, unity, and personal reflection.
With 11 tracks, the album takes listeners on an emotional and thought-provoking sonic adventure. From the opening track, "I & I Experience," Weekes sets the tone with his spiritually charged, socially conscious sound, followed by standout songs like "Wider Range" and "Great Divide," where reggae rhythms meet deep reflections on social divisions and the quest for peace.
One of the album’s highlights is "Wildfire," where Zion Albert’s soulful voice shines, bringing an intense spiritual energy to the project. The collaboration between Weekes, Albert, Garner, and Mills results in an album that is both innovative and deeply rooted in reggae tradition.
Taj Weekes explains:
"Having Zion Albert, Sidney Mills, and Shelton Garner on this album was an incredible experience. Their contributions added unique musical dimensions, strengthening the overall message and relevance of Eyes To See. It’s a project I’m immensely proud of."
The album tackles powerful themes, from gentrification on the track "Gentrification" to resilience against oppression on "Bang Bang Bang." Throughout the record, Taj Weekes continues to prove himself not only as a talented artist but also as an essential voice in the fight for a more just world.
