Jimmy Cliff releases his new album titled "Black Magic", featuring major guest appearances!
Black Magic, Jimmy Cliff's newest album, will be released by Artemis Records on August 24. Produced by Dave Stewart, the album will feature very special guest appearances by Wyclef Jean, Annie Lenox, Sting, Jools Holland, Koold and the Gang, the famous singer from the rock band Sex Pistols, Joe Strummer, and the "dancehall maestro" – Bounty Killer. With more than 20 albums recorded, Cliff, who has already won a Grammy, is one of the brightest stars of Jamaican music and was one of the first to bring reggae to large audiences worldwide. Born in St. James, Jimmy Cliff moved to Kingston – capital of Jamaica – and recorded his first hits – "Hurricane Hattie" and "Dearest Beverley", with producer Lesley Kong in 1963. The highest points of his career were reached when Cliff won the 1985 Grammy for Best Reggae Album titled "Cliff Hanger", which featured Elton John and was used on the soundtrack of the Disney hit "The Lion King". Jimmy Cliff is passionate about Brazil, with a residence in Salvador - BA. In the 1980s, the singer performed a show in the state that is estimated to have drawn around 80,000 people. Below, check out the songs on the new album:
