tribHUGHte by JAY DUSTY
This is a tribute album to an artist which I discovered whilst I was crate diggin' for new records and samples to flip. I never heard of Hugh Mundell until I saw his album which instantly caught my attention. The front and back cover stand out with a dim and almost gloomy looking red backdrop, with Hugh, posing looking effortlessly cool. The album is rich with reggae soundscapes, heavy, thumping bass lines which cut through, and Hugh's soft but strong voice accompanies the other instruments, acting as its own instrument..
Upon doing some research, I found out that Hugh had been fatally shot back in 1983, 14th of October. It filled me with deep sadness to know that such a gifted, young artist had his life robbed off him at the age of 21..
Although Hugh is not here in the physical, his music still lives on and continues to leave a lasting impact and impression on music lovers around the world.
Thank you for your contribution to music.
