Off the back of hosting a packed out UK listening party at Red Bull Studios last week, Stonebwoy has released his new album ‘Epistles Of Mama (EOM)’.
His 3rd studio album and the first of its kind, ‘Epistles Of Mama’ or #EOM is a double album consisting of 12 reggae songs and 12 afrobeats tracks. The ambitious project sees Stonebwoy bring together these 2 genres in one package with some special collaborations with some of the scene’s finest including; Sean Paul, Sarkodie, Burna Boy, Kabaka Pyramid and much more. Stonebwoy explains the thinking behind the duality of the album:
“I wanted to reach out across the world, to all the lovers of reggae and all the lovers of afrobeats and to bring these 2 genres together in one place.”
The theme of motherhood is key to the album. It is the message that pins many of the tracks together. Dedicated to his mother and the morals and guidance that all mothers instil in their children, Stonebwoy explains:
“It’s inspired by the good morals, the teachings, the lessons, the anguish and the smiles of life – all the important things in life which are passed on to us by our mothers.”
