Editorial Reviews In her Debut Album, “The Awakening” she teams up with reggae great, Ras Michael, to sing “Love is a Universal Language,” and "On the Day that Babylon Falls." In “Gold,” she masterfully delivers what can be called a ‘a modern day lamentation for the Black Man.’ Her message inspires you to joy, tears, laughter and deep thought, while her music satisfies your appetite for a good groove and smooth vocals. In “The Awakening,” Queen Makedah teams up with co-writer, Israel’s own, Tuviel Levi of Oriyah Music, producer/writers, The Passion Pirates, and Ras Michael (& the Sons of Negus) to produce a Fresh New Sound that fuses Worldbeat/Reggae & Urban/Adult Contemporary sounds (spanning R&B, Pop, Hip Hop and Classic Soul). The Awakening” is the heartfelt journey of Queen Makedah through a path of cultural, historical, spiritual and social awakening, amidst an Oasis of Contemporary and World Sounds that make it Food for the Soul. Queen Makedah has a profound message, a soul-stirring voice and a captivating cross-over sound that is sure to make an everlasting impression on the fabric of the American Soul and that of the World.

About the Artist
When most of us hear the sounds of Bob Marley’s “Coming in From the Cold,” Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” or Earth, Wind and Fire’s “Spirit,” we can’t help but be overwhelmed by feelings of hope, inspiration, peace or just an overall ‘good feeling.’ The promulgators of Message Music have had the most far-reaching effect of all time on the minds and hearts of the world. It is the Music of Bob Marley and other legends of the 70’s generation (some of the greatest social commentators of our time), that had the greatest musical impact on Queen Makedah. Today it is Message Music that will stand as the trademark of Her writing.
