The Football song was released on the same day the European Championships started, on the 11th of June 2021. It’s a promotional song for football worldwide, different great football players from around the world are mentioned in the lyrics by Jah Thunder.

The foundation of the Babylon Burning riddim was laid some 30 years ago by Dutch reggae producer Asher-E and it became the origin of the fruitful cooperation between Black Star and Asher-E. Over the years many artists have interpreted the riddim in their own particular styles, yet only five iterations have appeared on albums before. These previously released versions have all been revisited, remixed and remastered and are incorporated on the new release, alongside fifteen never before heard tracks.

The international appeal of reggae music is again confirmed on this release with vocalists from Japan, the United Kingdom, the Virgin Islands, the Netherlands, Trinidad and Tobago, Ghana and of course Jamaica. Out of many, one riddim…

The single ‘Change’ is a cooperation between Black Star Foundation, Rapha Pico (Holland/Surinam) and Jahbar I (Jamaica).

How you expect a change, if you are doing things the same way?”

The riddim is recorded in Jamaica, music by the legendarische Firehouse Crew, saxofone by Nicolas Laraque and backing vocals by D. Wisdom. Mixed by Donald ’Tixie’ Dixon for Black Star Foundation. The videoclip is recorded in the heart of Amsterdam (2019), filmed and edited by Iyobel Izhia.
