Review

Rolling Stone (p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "There are moments during this middle Marley boy's debut album that you can drift off and imagine you're listening to a long-lost B side from his dad....MIND CONTROL does justice to Bob Marley's legacy..."
Spin (p.85) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "He kicks out dance-hall-inflected reggae/hip-hop jams, carefully balancing political fire and an island-life vibe."
Entertainment Weekly (p.60) - "[A]n assured balance of new-school beats and old-school island flourishes." -- Grade: B+
Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e has unleashed a confident and varied reggae album that incorporates hip hop, R&B, rock and even flamenco influences."

Title Note

The second oldest of the late reggae legend Bob Marley's sons, Stephen Marley has maintained a low-profile career since the 1980s, first as a key member of his brother Ziggy's band, the Melody Makers, and more recently as a solo performer. MIND CONTROL is Marley's second solo album, and in the footsteps of his younger brother Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Stephen is incorporating a strong hip-hop influence into his dancehall reggae tunes. Aside from a cover of the old R&B chestnut "Lonely Avenue," the songs are all originals that layer urban beats and occasional nods to Afrobeat and flamenco with Marley's deep reggae roots. Damian guests on the single "Traffic Jam," Mos Def drops in on "Hey Baby," and Ben Harper appears on the soulful "Inna di Red."
