Toyan - Turn On The Light
Review by Schuyler Petersen
Toyan's album "Turn On The Light" is a reggae masterpiece that showcases the artist's unique style and sound. Released in 1982, the album features 10 tracks that are a mix of roots reggae and dancehall, with Toyan's signature singjay style that blends singing and toasting.
The album opens with the title track "Turn On The Light", a catchy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Toyan's vocals are smooth and soulful, and the rhythm section is tight and groovy. The album also features some notable collaborations, including "Stylee" with General Echo and "Disco Pants" with Sister Nancy.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Caring For My Sister", a heartfelt tribute to Toyan's sister who passed away. The song is a beautiful example of Toyan's ability to blend social commentary with personal storytelling in his music.
