"What a Vibe" is Payoh SoulRebel's first solo LP under the exclusive production of Cool Up Records, a young record label from Seville (Spain).
What a vibe is a tribute to the Jamaican deep/pure music, what we have grown with, enjoying so. The main style is Reggae Roots, with Rocksteady shapes and early digital from the 80's. The album name is about all the energy that it gives off, from the creation process to the final message that it transmits. The love to the music, the happiness and the positivity are some of the topics that Payoh SoulRebel sings demonstrating mastery and elegance, through his excellent voice.
The album includes two songs featuring some of the most appealing singers in the Seville’s reggae scene, Tunelon Iration and Burian Fyah. Another artist from Seville who appears in the album is Variedub, a reggae producer who has made a unique dub version for the album. In this way, they want to keep and share all the human and musical quality from their hometown.
As usual, in every Cool Up Records work the art has been made by the original and creative Mr John Vanilla, the label’s official art director. Who always convey with his illustrations his particular point of view on the project, in this occasion with the assistance of Delvina McKinson.
HE WAS A TRUE COWBOY FROM THE FAR FAR WEST
WITH A GUN IN HIS HIPS AND A STAR IN HIS CHEST.
BIG BROWN HAT AND A RUSTED BELT,
SNAKE LEATHER BOOTS AND A BLACK COTTON VEST. (12S)
HE WAS THE LAW,THE CHIEF OF THE PLACE,
BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS,THE CRIME DOESN'T REST.
HE'D ALLWAYS SAY HE WAS DOING HIS BEST
BUT IT IS HARD TO LIVE IN THAT VIPER'S NEST,
MANY GUNSLINGERS IN THE PLACE
SO YOU GOT TO AIM WELL IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A CHANCE.
DRINKING WHYSKEY AND PLAYING CARDS,
IN THE OLD SALOON HE USED TO PASS THE DAYS,
SOMETIMES BLUE,SOMETIMES GREY
IF YOU ACT NO COOL HE'LL PUT YOU IN JAIL
HE WAS THE LAW,
HE WAS THE LAW,
HE WAS THE LAW....
LONE RANGER
SOMEDAY A BUNCH OF EVIL MAN CAME
BEST KNOWN AS THE CRANE'S SIX BAND,
THEY WERE EXPERTS IN CAUSING PAIN
KILLING PEOPLE AND ROBBING BANKS.
AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ARMED CRIMINALS,
ANGRY VICIOUS BLOODTHIRST ANIMALS
ANYWAY IT MEANS TROUBLES IN THE WILD WILD WEST.
SHERIFF DID HIS BEST AND FACED THEM,
CRANE WAS WITH HIS BAND AWAITING HIM,
SHOTS BEGUN,A RAIN OF PLUMB.
MANY CRANE'S MEN DEAD BY THE SHERIFF'S HAND,
SUDDENLY THE VILLAGE TURNS INTO NO MAN'S LAND...
TOO MUCH FOR A MAN,SO,THE SHERIFF RAN.
HE WAS THE LAW,
HE WAS THE LAW,
HE WAS THE LAW...
LONE RANGER
