After 5 years of existence and multiples gigs, time had come for us to hit the recording studio to make our first album : « Music is my Healing »

It comes with 14 titles : 13 songs and 1 dub version (there are 6 other dub versions that are exclusively available through the « Red pill pack » reward.

In this album you will find 10 original titles and 3 cover songs, one of them featuring Professor Liv'High who is also credited at the choir, keyboards, accordion, and melodica inside the band.

As for the sound aesthetic, we are sailing between ska, rocksteady, lovers rock and roots reggae, all the while keeping a Soul music touch.

Thanks to the joint effort of everyone in the band, we've been able to save the money from our gigs in order to pay for recording sessions in 2 of the best reggae studio in Paris.

Our album « Music is my healing » has already been recorded , mixed and masterised in professional conditions and all self-produced.

The artwork of the cover is under work now.

We are very proud of the result and we are impatient to make you discover or album «Music is my healing» which will be released in the next springtime.

In order to broadcast our music in the better conditions, we have now to manufacture the discs of course, but also make promotion of it and produce video clips...

It is at this stage that you can enter in our adventure by allowing us to make this crucial step to our project!

To give you a taste and make you discover our musical universe, we, the Original Reggae Addicts have prepared and released for several months now 5 videos paying tribute to reggae music, including the famous title "Hit the Belly" fusion of Bob Marley and Ray Charles' songs!

From these videos, we have made an E.P 8 titles called "Hit the Belly! Showcase at Wise Studio" (availble in the rewards).This E.P includes the 5 titles of the videos + 3 exclusives versions performed by the well-known Jamaican Joseph Cotton.

About now, we are preparing an other series of surprising videos that we'll broadcast very soon...
