Its obvious to hear when listening to his (Respect) new reggae album, Scorned delivers the perfect sense to why the well known hardcore dance hall styled reggae artist would now be releasing what is a very rootsy reggae album. It works even though it may seem like a change to produce a roots record to the  reggae and world music scene. The debut CD released by Respect with Tropical (Records), was/is a high energy dance hall CD whereas this latest Scorned CD shows a greater and more roots side of the legendary reggae artist, Respect. Besides, roots reggae has a big influence with Respect and there was always hints of it on his past albums. This is a great album that is very accessible to hear at any time.
