A founding member of Israel Vibration, Apple Gabriel has known a long exile up to this new album. A first solo album, "Another Moses", sealed the split with Wiss and Skelly in 1998. The man many agreed to consider the engine of the trio and the author of some of its biggest tracks (We A De Rasta, There is No End, Rude boy Shuffling, Lift Up Your Conscience...) nevertheless gradually faded away.
For after that first opus, there is hardly any trace of him. An appearance on Groundation’s album "We Free Again" in 2004, a few concerts... and nothing more until this new album, "Teach Them Right", produced by the Dutch label Jahsolidrock, already at the helm of Chezidek’s latest album, "Judgement Time".
After illness, it was poverty that Apple had to fight, going through a period of destitution that left him homeless. A calvary he evokes on this very autobiographical second album. "To all those who sleep in the street, I know your tears", he proclaims on In The Jungle, the best of these ten tracks (completed by seven versions).
With his preserved voice and strengthened mysticism, Apple Gabriel finds polished productions, able to host his well-known modulations, with a brass section (including the Frenchman Cedric Munsch aka Tribuman) and the obligatory backing singers. Like the opening Mr Conman, or the title track, "Teach them right" settles into the tradition of Apple’s compositions.
A real success that Apple Gabriel, in conflict with Jah Solid Rock, has decided not to support, considering that the work is not finished. Yet here he held what it takes to make his big comeback. |
APPLE reste un grand artiste, même si l'homme semble quelque peu perturbé, comme en témoignent les propos haineux qu'il tient sur sa page FACEBOOK . Mais cet album est excellent, tout comme l'était son premier opus solo "ANOTHER MOSES', et il n'a rien perdu de sa voix .
rien à dire si ce n'est que du trés bon spiritualité is here
I &I my brother!!!!! Apple est un vrai Rasta car il me la prouvé en chantant devant tres peu de personnes dans une des plus petite et belle salle de Paris. La promo ne fut pas a la hauteur de l'homme mais il a chanter et fait passer son message devant 30pers comme s'ils y en avaient 1000pers RESPECT pas beaucoup d'artiste honnete l'aurais fait BIG UP APPLE JAH RASTAFARI
Un très bon disque avec une qualité de son excellente qui permet de profiter pleinement de la voix et des accents mystiques du chanteur. J'espère une suite à cet album.
Trop content ! Apple est un chanteur extraordinaire !
