170 - Maxi Priest: It All Comes Back to Love Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

Maxi Priest guests on Reggae Lover.

The superstar talks about his recently released album entitled "It All Comes Back to Love." The project was executive produced by Shaggy.

We preview the album's title track "It All Comes Back To Love" and "My Pillow' which sound classic.

Listen for "It's a Summertime Vibe" feat. Bounty Killer, and Maxi's favorite cut, "The Bridge You Burn."

Also, "Cool Nuh" with Shaggy, and "Anything You Want" with Estelle and Anthony Hamilton. Maxi takes us back to his early days in East London lifting speaker boxes. The singer walks us through an evolution forged in London's sound system scene.

He was the first reggae artist to have a No. 1 hit worldwide, including the U.S. Billboard charts. There's so much to learn from this fun conversation with the living legend, Maxi Priest.
