The Tamlins - Simplicity

Review by Robin Lenard

The Tamlins, a Jamaican reggae group, released their album Simplicity in 2018. The album features 12 tracks, each with its unique style and message. The album is a perfect representation of the Tamlins' signature sound, which is a combination of reggae, soul, and R&B.

The album opens with the track "Baltimore," a soulful reggae ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The Tamlins' harmonies are on full display in this track, and the lyrics speak of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity.

As the album progresses, the Tamlins showcase their versatility with tracks like "Love in My Heart," a classic reggae love song, and "Hard to Confess," a soulful R&B track that highlights the group's vocal range.

The album's title track, "Simplicity," is a standout. The track's stripped-down production and heartfelt lyrics make it one of the most emotionally resonant tracks on the album. The Tamlins' harmonies are once again at the forefront, and the track's message of finding joy in life's simple pleasures is a welcome reminder in today's complex world.

Summary by Robin Lenard

Simplicity is a strong album from the Tamlins. The group's signature sound is in full force, and the album's mix of reggae, soul, and R&B is a refreshing change of pace. Fans of the Tamlins and reggae music, in general, will find a lot to love on this album.
