A mature plant

Reggae Made in Germany has long been in vogue. Besides Seeed or Culcha Candela Gentleman is for years the undisputed No.1 in Germany. With his fourth studio album, the alter ego of Tilmann Otto varies his style.

Since the usual heavy bass and punchy horn section incl. Background choir would like the opener "Evolution" (which also includes his wife heard), the single "Different Places" or in the duet "Lack Of Love" feat. Sizzla. Further cooperation can be found in the soulful "The Light Within" with Diana King and "Jah Love" feat. Jack Radics / Daddy Rings. Even Helmut Zerlett on keyboards controls its part to the success. Quieter sounds with an acoustic guitar ("Tranquility") are in between times hinged and can be heard sometimes a flute as an accompanying instrument. Must not be missing the reference to dancehall / hip hop, which is mastered confidently with "Soul Food" or "Mount Zion".

Although lacking the unique hit singles / earwigs / dancefloor filler on this album, but it is less despite weaker moments a mature work, the gentleman's status will underpin the undisputed most successful German reggae artist.
