EBUZZTTInternational reggae crooner Maxi Priest has released his latest album, It All Comes Back To Love, out now via S-Curve Records/BMG. Fans can stream or purchase the album, here. Prior to the release of the album, which was produced entirely by Jamaican dancehall artist, Shaggy, Maxi Priest shared three singles: “AnythingYouWant (feat. Estelle, Anthony Hamilton, Shaggy),” “It’s A SummerVibe (feat. Bounty Killer & Che Sav),” and “I’m Alright (feat. Shaggy).”
A media release sent to Ebuzztt.com notes that only a handful of singers succeed in transcending their genre without losing the essence of who they are. It goes on to explain that Maxi Priest is one of those artists whose own unique vision has led him to tremendous global success, being the first reggae artist to have a No. 1 hit worldwide, including the U.S. Billboard charts. Maxi Priest performed in Trinidad and Tobago earlier this year at the Redemption concert event which also featured the likes of Christopher Martin, Romain Virgo and the legendary Beres Hammond.
Maxi Priest is the first British-born singer to graduate from the London reggae sound-system Saxon Studio International, introducing the sound of lovers’ rock to a global audience. Before joining Saxon, Maxi embraced Rastafari and served an apprenticeship with South London soundsystem Negus Negast and the legendary Jah Shaka. Throughout his entire career, Maxi has adhered to the principles of his faith by making conscious music of all kinds.
