TAXI + Silent River + TABOU1 are proud to announce the release of “FORWARD”, the newest album by Bitty McLean, the sweetest voice in the Reggae industry.

The riddims were recorded with Sly & Robbie and the TAXI Gang. Over the years, whenever I had the opportunity, I would fly down to Kingston and book a few days Gussie Clarke’s Anchor Studio to work with Sly & Robbie, Mikey Chung, Dougie Bryan, Robbie Lyn and Sticky.Usually, we would record instrumentals reminiscent of the Rockers and RubADub period, which I love best, but with a fresh, contemporary twist. From time to time, we would also record dancehall and other stuff, because these musicians can play anything (we did a funk album, a rock song, an Algerian Rai-influenced beat, etc…). While these instrumentals were all good enough to be released as such (check out the album “Usual Suspects” for instance), I always emailed MP3s of the ruff mixes to Bitty: knowing how good his songwriting skills are, Robbie, Sly and I knew he would come up with something wicked. And invariably, Bitty would write superb new songs to the riddims.

Before I move on, I want to take a minute to thank the Powers That Be for letting me have the joy of working with Bitty McLean. We met in 2005, our first release was a hit, “The Real Thing”, which prompted us to fly down to Kingston to record the “Movin’ On” album with Sly & Robbie, which we put out in 2006. Since then, we’ve been on the road, we have put out more cracking albums. I’ve produced a number of really nice things, worked with legends, but uniting Bitty McLean with Sly & Robbie is my proudest achievement.
