SHATTERED EP TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 21 ON EPIC RECORDS
NEW FULL LENGTH ALBUM LIGHT OUT EARLY 2009
 |
On October 18, Grammy-nominated artist Matisyahu will begin an extensive fall tour across North America, including stops in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. The tour coincides with the release of his upcoming EP, Shattered (Epic Records, October 21). The four-song EP features tracks from his new full-length album, Light (due out in early 2009). Matisyahu will guide fans through songs from this forthcoming album during listening parties after each show on the fall tour.
Produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Regina Spektor, Sublime), Shattered features songs from Matisyahu's forthcoming album recorded and mixed in Jamaica, New York, Los Angeles and Virginia. Several guest artists contribute to the four-song EP: ground-breaking Jamaican reggae rhythm section Sly & Robbie (drums and bass, “Two Child One Drop" and “I Will Be Light") Stephen McGregor (co-producer, keyboards, drum-programming, “Smash Lies") son of legendary reggae artist Freddie McGregor and among Jamaica's youngest and most innovative young producers, Fish (drums, “So Hi So Lo") and Norwood Fisher (bass, “So Hi So Lo") of the legendary L.A. alt-punk-ska band Fishbone and experimental turntablist Ooah from the Glitch Mob (co-producer, co-writer, drum programming on “Two Child One Drop").
