Though not nearly as intense as his releases from the late 1970s, the albums Burning Spear made in the mid-to-late '80s are still powerful slabs of roots reggae. Winston Rodney (Burning Spear) has never relinquished his commitment to meaningful Rasta music or his moral vision of social justice and equality, and 1986's PEOPLE OF THE WORLD is no exception. Even with the more pronounced presence of synthesizers and a highly polished production, Rodney delivers his Rastafarian message over hard-hitting, hypnotic grooves.

Hooky melodies like "Built this City" alternate with deep, dub-like vibes such as "No Worry U Self" and the down-tempo pulse of the title track (with its clarion call to unity). There are surprises in the sunshine-filled tribute to Africa and Jamaica ("Little Love Song"), and the sound of a wailing electric guitar on "Seville Land" (though this adds drama to Rodney's narrative about a slavery plantation). The arrangements--as per usual with Burning Spear--are quite complex and precise, with the horn charts adding rhythmic punctuation throughout. PEOPLE OF THE WORLD was nominated for a Grammy.
