Music: Chronixx Lands Top 50 Spot on Rolling Stone Year-End List

Reggae revivalist Chronixx continues to h it the right notes critically, making Rolling Stone magazine's
Top 50 Albums of 2017 for his set "Chronology". The album lands at #48 on the listing (see review below) and places the 25- year old in the company of U2, Lorde, Sam Smith and Kendrick Lamar.

Chronixx also last weekend capped a successful stint of shows in Kingston and Montego Bay, part of a Caribbean tour is support of the album.

Chronixx, 'Chronology'
With this mighty, roots-minded debut LP, the 25-year-old from Spanish Town, Jamaica, has spearheaded a reggae revival that's more than merely retro. Grounded in the post-Marley golden era – think Barrington Levy, Aswad, Gregory Isaacs and Yellowman, who Chronixx shouts out on "Likes" – the man brings Rasta-informed wisdom and conscious vibes into a new century, with vintage dub grooves ("Big Bad Sound") and modern pop-R&B sonics ("I Can") rocking the dancehall side-by-side. The most promising reggae ambassador in a generation, Chronixx is here just when the need for healing music has never been greater. W.H.
