“Crisis" is the first single and video from the 7th studio album
by critically acclaimed social activist and lyricist, Taj Weekes. The
single and video drops on Friday July 16th, and will be followed by the
“Pause” album, scheduled for release on August 9.
As a songwriter, recording and performing artist, Taj is well known
for his consistent social activism both musically and in life works. Taj
has dedicated many years working on behalf underprivileged children. In
2005, he founded the nonprofit organization They Often Cry Outreach
(TOCO), dedicated to improving the lives of Caribbean children through
various initiatives. His humanitarian work has been recognized by
several organizations and international agencies, including the UN, and
in 2020 the Government of Saint Lucia appointed Taj Weekes as Goodwill
and Brand Ambassador, giving him the title “His Excellency Taj Weekes”.
“Come on the water is safe, no need for testing. If you come out
late we’ll lose investments, but a siren is a sign of crisis. People
first, that’s what you say. Action speaks, and we hear very clear”.
Words taken from the single “Crisis”, and a perfect representation of
the positive thought provoking message that has become the Taj Weekes
trademark.
“Crisis” is a haunting reflection of psychic stress caused by the
past year of death and destruction. The single is released on the Jatta
Records label, and the music video will be premiered by Reggaeville on
Friday July 16.
