8x GRAMMY® Award-winning singer/songwriter/producer, Stephen Marley just released his new album Old Soul on September 15, 2023 - his first full-length project since 2016. Featuring a stellar line-up of special guests including Bob Weir, Eric Clapton, Jack Johnson, Ziggy Marley, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Buju Banton, and Slightly Stoopid, the 14-track acoustic-inspired album is now available on all digital platforms via Tuff Gong Collective/UMe/Ghetto Youths International.  Limited-edition double LP vinyl in translucent yellow and green, CD, 2LP standard black vinyl and merch bundles are available for pre-order at stephenmarleymusic.com.  

Old Soul comes as a complete revelation. While grounded from the road during the COVID lockdown, Stephen set up a new studio on a remote family farm in the Florida countryside, holding nightly jam sessions in a converted garage. With a stripped-down ensemble comprising binghi drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and flute, Stephen played whatever he felt like — ranging from original compositions and reggae rarities with deep personal meaning to classics recorded by Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and The Beatles. “Irie vibration,” Stephen says of the sounds made together on the farm. The lion’s share of Old Soul was recorded during these “unplugged” jam sessions.

Even as the album showcases Ragga’s versatility, the message within his music remains consistent. “We come to free the people’s minds,” says Stephen. “Only way you can free your soul is to free your mind. My father say, ‘No chains on my feet, but I’m not free.’ And then he come say, ‘Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.’ Anywhere the music calls us, we are going to be there to spread the message of love and unity.” 

Old Soul explores a musical palette that spans a variety of cultures and genres alike, with hand-selected special guests furthering the spiritual journey that encompasses the album. 

In celebration of the new album, Stephen has embarked on an ambitious Old Soul Tour Unplugged 2023 through the fall.

hello everyone
over the past few months i have been able to check off a few things on my bucket list... working on ye, kids see ghosts, and nas' album.. im just sitting here waiting for my mom to wake me up and say im late for school... but it hasn't happened yet... ha! when i was a kid i used to think about music from the moment my eyes opened until they closed... i used to run home from school to look up liner notes online and print em out and try to guess who made the beats then uncover the produced by section and see if i was right... i used find all the samples of my favorite songs and try to remake the beats the same exact way... i used to watch every video on mtv and bet glued to the fucking screen... i used to listen to music in the car and sing along to every word while emotionally looking out the window and pretending i was in the video... i used to look at my parents and say "there is no plan b" and "im gonna make it"... i was scared as hell but fearless all at the same time... music is magic... we have to treat it that way... i have been thinking about my future and how i want the rest of my career to unfold... i have decided to release some songs as benny blanco... don't worry i wont be singing on them with my shitty nasally jewish voice... i got all my friends to sing em... hope u like them... and if u dont i dont care cuz i do...
