About

On his eagerly awaited new release Book Of Life, I-Wayne polishes his enchanting smooth sound over airy instrumentals with simplistic yet profound lyrics that remind listeners of an essential truth--that life is a gift for which we can be grateful. The title track, also the first single, provides an overview of the set, expressing everything I Wayne has learned in his 28 years of life and his desire to share his experience--a glowing example of the personal rendered universal. This uniquely positive worldview comes across most clearly in "Life Is Easy," in which I Wayne reminds listeners that the way out of suffering is to give thanks for the blessings nature gives us. He also covers domestic violence in "Jealousy and Abuse" (featuring the great Lady G); male and female intimacy in "Need Her in I Arms"; and worldwide divisions and anarchy in "Politics and Religion." Following his philosophy throughout The Book of Life, I- Wayne concludes, "I'm not here to force anyone but to share some of life's knowledge--just being naturous."

"I-Wayne comes with heartfelt lyrics over beautiful, traditional Jamaican instrumentation for a tune that could surely carve his path to the reggae hall of fame. If you love roots reggae and don't have this record, you must be asleep." - URB
