The Music of MaGowanthe Man, the Message, the Movement!

Listen to just one of MaGowan's songs, you are certain to be left craving for more. His music is akin to a journey exploring life's varying pathways utilizing a heartfelt sound of hope and inspiration along with verses of reality- often bitter sweet.

A young man at first glance but an old soul once listened to, his is a voice of no limit. MaGowan permeates practically all genres (Reggae, R&B, Hip Hop to name a few) partnered with the kind of delivery unsurpassed in the industry today. Yet his core of humility and appreciation for life's daily lessons are the driving factors certain to ensure his success.

Standing in his company translates to a silent exchange of emotion while listening to his music needs no translation. The words are prophetic, straight forward yet bursting with metaphor.

The first three singles for release are Reggae tracks, Cold World, Condolence and Introspection all speaking to the tumultuous times we are facing in Jamaica and around the world. The pre-release CD offers a small glimpse into MaGowan's upcoming album entitled The Heart of Kingston.

Cold World opens the CD as the first of three, it is on the Spiritual War rhythm, and is the same rhythm that spawned Gyptian's Serious Times. Cold World is an analysis of the world today and is not focused solely on Jamaica. Instead the song contends that Jamaica is not alone in her struggles, lyrically painting an universal picture that connects us all.

The second track Condolence was recorded as a public out cry sending essential words of comfort to the mothers of the two girls raped and murdered earlier this year in rural Jamaica. The song, however, stretches way beyond the perimeters of rural Jamaica, makes its way through the nation and then soars far beyond our shores, applicable to mothers globally. Its refrain, "oh woman no cry, oh woman no cry," is at first reminiscent of Bob Marley's song, No Woman No Cry, that association ends with the rhetorical question, "but how can I tell you not to cry?" This question seals the song's message of solemn tears unable to be quelled by helpless bystanders.

MaGowan's third offering, Introspection, is also an ode to a three month old baby that was killed a couple weeks ago. He calls, in this song for the nation to stand at attention while he takes a discerning voyage into the hearts of the "youths." Introspection assigns personal responsibility and accountability while attempting to reason with those participating in the senseless killing now rocking the nation. Most profoundly, he opens a door to change just by initiating the notion that "it's all right, you can love."

Well rounded, passionate, in pursuit of his dreams, this gifted young man is poised to open our eyes to a world of music but begins with what is nearest and dearest to his heart….Reggae.
