    Matisyahu @ Slowdown

    Few artists make an impact as complete as the one Matisyahu has made. Here was a true original, a Hasidic Jewish musician from New York City singing reggae songs about his religious devotion. True originals, though, don’t stay put for long, and on his bold new album, Light, 29-year-old Matisyahu proves that there’s much more to his artistry than might initially meet the eye. Light is anything but safe. The 14-track collection covers a dizzying amount of stylistic ground, from hard-edged dancehall and ska-inflected New Wave to laidback pop-rock and acoustic folk-soul. Despite the lengthy and varied guest list, Light remains a work traceable only to Matisyahu’s unique creative sensibility, an album that reflects more than two years’ worth of religious study.
