The combination of veteran dancehall-roots crooner Cocoa Tea and the Xterminator production crew -- not to mention the participation of such A-list studio talent as Sly Dunbar, Dean Fraser, and Earl "Chinna" Smith -- should have resulted in an all-killer, no-filler album. Perplexingly, though, Save Us Oh Jah is a disappointingly hit-and-miss affair, one that offers plenty of high points but also several flubs that are hard to explain. The album opens on an unpromising note, with the rhythmically disorganized and melodically haphazard "Stay Far," on which Cocoa Tea never seems to find the key center and the musicians never seem to find a groove. Things immediately get better with the title track and the sturdy, roots-wise "Let the Music Play" (which suffers only from the banal lyrics that have always been Cocoa Tea's biggest liability), and get even better with the funky and minimalistic reggae-R&B of "How You So Hypa" and the churning one-drop rhythms of "Wave You Hand." At several points in the program, Cocoa Tea's finger-wagging self-righteousness threatens to devolve into all-out Bobo Dread blood-thirst (note the hints of Bobo rhetoric on "Can't Tek the Fire Bun" and "Babylon Feel It"), and he's not above promulgating the usual "tricky woman" stereotypes either ("Indian Woman"). But there are some moments of real tenderness as well, and those Xterminator rhythms are able to cover a multitude of sins. Fans won't be disappointed.


Personnel: Donald Dennis (guitar, keyboards, drums); Mitchum Chin (guitar); Errol Hird (saxophone); Courtney Edwards, Fabian Smith, Chris Meridith (keyboards); Kirk Bennett, Shaun Darson (drums); Bongo Herman (percussion); Cegricia Hamilton (background vocals); Earl "Chinna" Smith (guitar); Sly Dunbar (drums); Dean Fraser.

The enduring Rastafarian vocalist Cocoa Tea delivers another entertaining combination of his wisdom-laced, positive reggae vibes and powerful lovers anthems. The veteran's vocal chords still remain wonderfully restrained and expressive on this, his first offering of the 21st century. The DJ is backed by the superb rhythmatics of coveted JA producer Phillip "Fattis" Burrell. Other famed reggae musicians are on board as well including Robbie Shakespeare and Earl "Chinna" Smith. Like many Rastafarian recordings, the crux of Feel the Power is its careful mix of haunting melodies and political themes that call for peace and justice. The hard-hitting "Sniper" and the passionate "No Time to Lose" -- in which the artist pleads, "Please save the world Jah-Jah..." -- are timelessly poignant. Cocoa also offers a unique musical commentary on the controversial 2000 U.S. election on "Who." Cocoa then returns to his lovers ballad format on a couple of the album's best cuts, including "True Love" and "I'm Sorry." While not sensational throughout, Feel the Power is a very worthy effort sprinkled with plenty of reggae magic.


Personnel: Cocoa Tea (vocals).

             Barack Obama has won what could be an influential
██▓ ░ endorsement among reggae fans: Jamaican singer
██▓ ░ Cocoa Tea, who's backing the Illinois senator in a
██▓ ░ new tune.
██▓ ░
██▓ ░ "This is not about class nor color, race nor
██▓ ░ creed,'' the veteran dancehall crooner sings in a
██▓ ░ version posted on the video Web site Dailymotion.
██▓ ░ ''It's about the changes, what the Americans
██▓ ░ need.'' The song goes on to call Obama a
██▓ ░ ''trendsetter'' and urge Americans ''to unite as
██▓ ░ one'' behind him.
██▓ ░
██▓ ░ Cocoa Tea, whose real name is Calvin Scott, said
██▓ ░ Sunday that the tribute song ''Barack Obama'' will
██▓ ░ be released this week by New York's VP Records.
██▓ ░ ''The young people who are supporting him want
██▓ ░ change _ and that's what he represents,'' said the
██▓ ░ singer, whose laid-back lyrical style made him a
██▓ ░ local star in the 1980s.
██▓ ░
██▓ ░ He becomes the second major Caribbean musician to
██▓ ░ endorse Obama in song, joining Trinidadian calypso
██▓ ░ star Mighty Sparrow who recently recorded a track
██▓ ░ titled ''Barack the Magnificent.'
