Yusimi Yusimi - Automatic EP (Self-published/Zojak World Wide)

By Jah Rebel

Yusimi Yusimi is the alter ego of Beres Barnett, front man of The Sounds Of Riddim, a six-piece reggae band from Atlanta, Georgia, looking to Black Uhuru and Dennis Brown for inspiration.

The soul vibes of 'Automatic', title track and opener of this 5 track EP, didn't leave much of an impression, but songs like the delightful ladies tune 'Dance With Me' or the excellent closing track 'Pray', over a riddim with a bassline quite similar to that of Luciano's 'Who Could It Be', can convince. The best track on te Ep has to be 'Children Crying', clearly echoing the sound of Black Uhuru/Sly & Robbie, with Yusimi Yusimi even trying to make his voice sound like that of Michael Rose. Nice discovery.
