Bunny Wailer's 1985 album Marketplace marks his transition into dancehall territory, departing from the roots reggae spirituality of his earlier work. Produced with synth-driven ar rangements and backed by the legendary Sly & Robbie, the record showcases tracks like "Electric City" and "Dance Hall Music" that prioritize rhythm and accessibility. While purists may miss the album's spiritual depth, Marketplace demonstrates Wailer's vocal prowess and stylistic range within the evolving reggae landscape of the 1980s. Show more
