about

Peace Heart (2009): With a heavier focus on percussion and organic sounds than the electronically-based “Light Headed,” FreesoulJAH’s second album is a concept piece focused on a rejection of Western modernity and a return to a nature-based tribal lifestyle. Tracks like “With Vigilance” and “The Light Shines On” maintain the minimalism of his first compositions, but are more likely to rely on subtly varying lyrics than the mantra repetition of the first album. Throughout, FreesoulJAH’s lyrics focus on calls for personal responsibility and unity, with lyrics like “There is more light than darkness” or “Hey man, why don’t you take a stand” calling listeners to action with hope.

By the end of the record, instruments have dropped away almost completely, leaving wordless Native American chanting or repetition of “peace” in their place. As “With Each Other” ends with the sound of running water, we lead into two final tracks suggestive of the New Tribal movement of the 1960s hippie scene- nothing but blissed-out chanting, hand drums and nature sounds. Paradise may have to be manmade, FreesoulJAH seems to suggest, but not in a factory.
