Terrible reggae passes for listenable reggae more often than its rock or hip-hop counterparts, and that shit needs to stop.
Thankfully, artists like J Boog breathe life into the genre and we’re much here for it.
Blending a perfect mix of brass, R&B vocals and subtle hints of pop, J Boog manages to rise above his yawn-worthy brothers and sisters in the genre to bring an interesting and enticing flavor of reggae that’s rare and exciting.
Do yourself a favor, turn the lights down low and throw on “Don’t Worry” from the artist’s 2016 album Wash House Thing and tune out the world while the track pulls you into waves of chill.
With EarthKry and Eddy Dyno!, $25-$75, Thu March 21, 7pm, Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary’s, papertigersatx.com.
