Beginning with his recording debut in 2010, fans have seen (and heard) the progression of reggae’s heir apparent to the crown of Beres Hammond and Dennis Brown before him, the genre’s greatest vocalist and interpreter of emotions in song. In an era of vocalists, Romain Virgo stands out as one of Jamaica’s purest and greatest talents. His new album, The Gentle Man is a defining point in the career and ascension of Romain as the standard bearer of reggae’s roots in R&B and Soul.

Romain and collaborator Nicholas Nikko Bronwe have developed the album with notable contributions from producers; Donovan ‘Don Corleon’ Bennett, Phillip ‘Winta’ James, and Maurice ‘Seani B’ Delaunay. Guest vocals on the album include Jesse Royal, dancehall legend Capleton, Afrobeat’s star Patoranking, and dancehall super star Masicka.
