Peter Morgan was not too well after the great Morgan Heritage concert at the Astoria the night before, so he had to rest his voice, but he gave all the onlookers a great performance of the first single from Clinark’s album ‘ Life in the Ghetto.’ The rest of the video had already been filmed with Clinark by DOF films on locations in Edmonton, North London UK.

Review: Journey to Foreign    Review Editor: Dub Manageress

Bermudian Reggae Artist, Clinark, finally arrives with this much heralded debut studio album in tow, Journey to Foreign. This talented solo artist, has come through the perils of  the music business , currently remaining independent under his own  record label Nurture Projects and  despite the world slump, to deliver us this gem of  the ‘sure to be a classic’ album.  For any fan of Roots & Culture, it has been worth waiting the 4 years it’s taken to get to the decks. This international project brings together the works of Bermuda, UK, Jamaica, & Hawaii. The final production  was done at Stingray Studios in London UK with producers Mafia & Fluxy and Dilly as final production engineer and Gussie P. Maxi Priest’s own voice engineer Livingstone Brown  giving a new treatment to Clinark’s voice on the track  ‘fast becoming collector’s items.’ While Clinark’s unique ‘Garnett -esque’ (Silk) voice and Marley-esque’ (Bob) delivery can capture any ear that seeks clarity and inspiration, this 20 track album (19 co -writtien  songs and  20 riddims, overflows with quality from start to finish.  Some of the tracks featured on Clinark Live in Holland (2006) debut album, and so too does the remake of hit single ‘DemCome’ ’10’’ (2004) (Dread Unity) which Clinark sang under the name of Dillinjah.  Listen to Clinark’s plentiful collaborations, from the poignant ‘Lifein the Ghetto’ feat. Gramps and Peter Morgan to the street smart message for the youth, in ‘No Where TV’feat. Fantan Mojah where were warned about the doctrines of TV and video games.  Bermuda is overflowing with talent as Clinark blesses us again with ‘Sign of the Times’ feat. Troy Anthony.  There’s so much more with equally jostling for top ten slots are the  collaborations from  Richie Spice, Luciano, Maxi Priest,  Kofi , Brinsley Forde (Aswad) and Irie Love. Listen out for the heart rendering track, ‘Angel Eyes’ sure to be played at weddings and the like for a lifetime.  Enjoy your journey on this top quality album!
