Kingston Calling

Kingston calling is the Brainchild of Producer paul Hussey. The album features great Jamaican artists doing covers and interpretations of classic British punk, britpop and Indie tunes.
“I have strong links to Jamaica and Jamaican music and I also have strong connections to England and English music. I have worked extensively with reggae music in Jamaica and I also worked in England with ‘Indi’ music, so for me it was natural to put both music forms together.”
He also wanted to use ‘Kingston Calling’ to introduce Reggae music and Jamaican artistes to a new generation of music lovers who, while being familiar with Reggae music, did not know reggae artistes.
