Excellent and eloquently written Mumma. Totally feel the same way on the state of music on a whole. Music is about “telling a story”, and not leaving anything to the imagination anymore. Jr Gong kept it real. Salute!
So true and well said Mumma Shilo. Dancehall older sister “Reggea” defines our culture and expresses the mind and the spirit of Jamaica, in my opinion. Damian Marley definitely captures that in his every word. You explain that so well in this article and break it down so perfectly so other may also grasp the essence of what reggea music brings. Proud reader I am. Well Done!
Great article Shilo Evans, we need to pick the sense out of the nonsense and bring the reggae vibes back to it’s former glory days of love and spiritual upliftment. I love Reggae/Dancehall but it seems to have lost it’s way some how and the true essence seems to have been taken over by anything goes with no real direction or education…….Boomshots to the world, “reggae music again” Big up Mumma Shilo!
Yes Shilo dancehall music is not what it use to be. I am a proud Jamaican but some of these reggae songs are so degrading to women. This is one of my favourite songs to listen to. Big up to Damion Marley for this one.
Marley love all day everyday! I felt the need to say that 🙂
I feel that anything Junior Gong puts his stamp on is emotionally gratifying. Life changing/saving love- heard of by many but not experienced by all. When we can get over superficial pleasures and quit running after quantity then maybe we’ll slow down and learn to love deeper – quality.
To you Ms Shilo- I’ve always appreciated your writing style. Seems like you always have a good message thrown in which makes for a more memorable read. I look forward to more.
Very much agreed!!! I have loved this song from the first moment I heard it and I don’t think it will ever grow old to me! Big up Ms Shilo!!! Can’t wait for future Boomshots!!!
Shi, this is an excellent review of an excellent for this song. What is wrong with reggae music why excellent music like “Affairs of the Heart” never get the promotional play or airtime it deserves to make them into hits…..? I wonder. Maybe it is because the song “Affairs of the Heart” praises women in decent way as opposed to the normal crude and vulgar way a lot artist do when they try to give women back handed compliments. , It is nice to see a Rasta youte like “Gonzilla’ step up the bar of praise while still being an authentic roots rock artist alike any other dancehall artist. There is still too much appealing to the lowest common denominator (base) for the sake of hype
Nicely written Shilo. Hearing this song makes me crave the days when Lover’s Rock ruled. Gong Zilla has definitely set a high standard with this one. Chuuunnne!
I AM A BIG-FAN OF YOURs ON FACEBOOK AND U ALWAYS KEEP ME ENTERTAIN, HAPPY TO FIND YOU ON A BIGGER PLATFORM! i’m looking forward to more Great article So true and well said!!! …one love
Love the article Shilo. I expected nothing less! Junior Gong always gives his listeners something to think about and meditate on while keeping you moving with his music. The lyrics of “Affairs of the Heart” has to be “straight from the heart” of Junior Gong. Nothing but good vibes when you hear this song! Pure niceness. A boomshot fi real Shilo!
