    Jan. 27, 2020 | Sidney Madden -- "It's been a fairly short musical journey and we have seen fairly much success," Koffee told the NPR Music offices between songs during her Tiny Desk set. Flashing her braces with each grin, Jamaica's 19-year old tour de force wasn't exaggerating. Her debut EP, Rapture, just won a 2020 Grammy for Best Reggae Album, making her the first woman and the youngest artist to ever win in the category. It comes just two years after her tribute song to sprinter, eight-time Gold Medalist and fellow Jamaican Usain Bolt went viral online. Koffee has sustained a steady upwards momentum since then, finding her footing on festival stages and collaborating with others outside her genre. (Her latest single, "W" features Atlanta rapper, Gunna.)
    Above all, what makes Koffee so refreshing is that she centers her music around faith, resilience and gratitude. She has a new perspective to add to the pantheon of mostly male reggae greats and it's resonating with a new generation that's just getting hip to the iconic sounds. As her Tiny Desk performance shows, Koffee makes the best of her surroundings, channeling the day's buzzy energy into a balancing act of youthful heart and old-pro precision, proving why she has become one of the most invigorating voices in reggae.
    "I want to thank everybody who's been involved," Koffee told the crowd halfway during her show. "You have now become a part of my journey."

      I fear that a lot of the appeal of these sessions recording lies in the directionality and super wide stereo soundstage.. Usually if you were to press it on vinyl the lower end should be mastered to be almost mono to reduce the risk of needle skipping. I don't know how prominent this would turn out but the music that sounds really good on vinyl usually is mastered with that in mind as well. They could release HQ versions in digital streaming services but these videos actually don't lack much. If it's the pretty physical object youre after hmu in private, i'll make a **cough** bootleg for ya

      @echo-trip-1 4 года назад +41

      I think it strikes a lot of people as strange to call Patwa (Patois) a language. Because it seems like a slang dialect. But it's been around for hundreds of years, and it has its own rules. I would say that even though it's mostly based on English, it's at least as different from standard English as Spanish is from Portuguese. And those two are called separate languages.
