Editor's review

There's no overstating the influence of reggaeman Perry on all corners of popular music. But the great thing about new LP "Repentance" is that it doesn't just inspire--it enters the modern fray. The septuagenarian's Andrew W.K. and Moby collab does dub grooves in a hip-hop mindstate.

Biography

Grammy Winning Reggae Icon Lee 'Scratch' Perry returns with the highly anticipated new LP Repentance-- with the sexually charged club anthem "Pum Pum," as the debut single which demonstrates Lee's mastery of all sounds. The album touches on a multitude of genres ranging from hip-hop & dancehall to club ready dance hits.

By now you've heard the story that's been followed by major music outlets from Billboard to Pitchfork. Starting with a chance meeting between Perry and hyper-energetic artist/producer Andrew W.K. at SXSW in 2006 that spawned an unthinkable friendship leading to a musical collaboration that would result in Lee Perry's latest studio album.

Repentance is considered the best album he has produced in decades, standing alongside the innovative records of the 60's & 70's where Perry placed the DJ in the role of the artist. What Perry created can easily be seen as the prelude to the dance, hip hop and pop music genres which makes it easy to see where artists from 50 Cent, Hot Chip, M.I.A., to Spank Rock cut their teeth and found their sound. With Repentance, Perry has truly reclaimed the throne. He continues to influence the musical landscape of today by redefining every genre of music he touches with his unprecedented vision and production expertise. He remains revered by his peers and seen as one of the most influential artists by many of today's contemporary performers.
