Savagely murdered on 22 August 2012, Matthew McAnuff left us on the threshold of a promising career. Winston McAnuff's son had caused a stir in 2008 with his hit Be Careful. That is precisely the title of a posthumous album announced for 15 July 2013 on Chapter Two.
It is the album that Matthew McAnuff was working on, and which was then announced for summer 2010.
Three years on, we can finally discover these 13 songs recorded at Harry J studio with the musicians Style Scott, Errol “Flabba” Holt, Dwight Pickney (three of the Roots Radics), Leroy Horsemouth Wallace, Guillaume "Stepper" Briard, Eric "Rico" Gaultier and the percussionist Isiah “Sticky” Thompson.
The accordionist Fixi, who is about to release a new album with Winston McAnuff, also appears on the album with his signature instrument. It was he who took over production of the album, begun in late 2009. Cedric Myton on backing vocals rounds off the cast.
Of course the album includes the title track Be Careful, but also a cover of A little way different by Errol Dunkley, and Brainswash, with Tom Fire.
