Wonderful Life

Above Ground

Ari Mintz

Paulo Almeida, front man for Dili Allstars, Sol Nation and Mystic Trio has embarked  on a solo project and is releasing his third single, ‘Stay A While’.

Staying true to his island roots, this new track sets a scene for lover’s reggae, vibing with lyrics sung in both English and Tetum (Timor Leste), Paulo’s native language. The song speaks to spending time with the people you love, creating lasting memories and forging deep connections, opening to the mystery of life, love and the other side.

In the words of the Natural Mystic, Bob Marley,

"Live for yourself and you will live in vain. Live for others and will live again."

STAY A WHILE

Forward

The first line of this song had me! And the following lines kept me listening.

The instrumental in this song is sensational.

It moves with Tracey’s vocals, but it’s moving on its own terms, or I should say, directions.

I’m sure I can hear at least three entwining themes working around the vocal melody.

Then, taking you by surprise is the total rhythmic shift just past 2 minutes into the track.

And what a vocal.

Tracey has a wonderful voice, she is strong over her range, and delivers her part effortlessly and perfectly.

The lyrics are glorious.

“She has seven curlers in her hair, her skin’s a crust” cleverly conjures such a detailed image.

She is everything I could need tonight.
Another broken Juliet, bringing out the Romeo in me.

“In that mansion over there lives a girl with perfect skin and golden hair, but I don’t care.”

I have to listen to the rest of this album.
