Julian Marley Preps Awake

On May 26, Julian Marley will release Awake, his first studio album in nearly six years, via the indie label, Ghetto Youths.

Recorded at the Lion’s Den in Miami, Florida and Tuff Gong in Kingston, Jamaica, the 16-track followup to 2003’s A Time and Place is said to reflect the inspiration of, “all the family who have come before [him].” Which means, one should expect a sound that, “incorporates the roots-reggae sound that Julian has made his own, infused with street-energy hip-hop, bubbling dancehall and a smooth combination of R&B and reggae.”

Julian will also be playing select dates on the Blazed and Confused tour with brother Stephen, Snoop Dogg and punk reggae veterans Slightly Stoopid.
