Goodwill Ambassador and Reggae artist, His Excellency
TAJ WEEKES
celebrates his first solo album, "Pause", with the release of
"Rainstorm"
~ The second single and video from the internationally acclaimed album ~
Weekes states that this album was written during the most important year of his life. "The year the music stopped and about everything else in between." Taj Weekes’ new album Pause is his first without the musical benefits of his backing band Adowa.
But don’t expect an all-acoustic or subdued experience.
Taj without Adowa is not solo Taj; this overflow of creativity arises from a wealth of talent. In fact there is no more richly textured and musically adventurous reggae album than Pause.

 Weekes recently traveled to Accra, Ghana for his first humanitarian mission to Africa for his charity, They Often Cry Outreach (TOCO), where he performed and reached out to the Ghanaian youth with local and international charitable organizations to distribute 5000 shoes to various schools and organizations.
Here's what they're saying about PAUSE...
"Lyrically, 'Pause' is the strongest album we've heard in ages and it also holds up effortlessly musically. That forced break certainly did Taj Weekes good!" - Reggae.be (Belgium)
"The art of Taj Weekes is in his pen; social and conscious but also in his tone of voice, his musicality and his arrangements. This new album addresses hot themes while his poetry sheds light on the artist's vision of our world and its imbalances."
- Selectakza.net (France)
"Taj Weekes is undoubtedly one of the most talented reggae artists on the planet. [He} is not just an exceptionally prolific reggae artist. He's a social activist, poet, and much more, who just happens to write some of the most powerful music in the world, irregardless of genre. As his motto proclaims, his vibe is high and his message is mighty. Taj Weekes is the real deal. Check him out." - Professor Skank, KDHX
"With Pause, Taj Weekes now releases a solo oeuvre that is at least as magnificent has his prior works with Adowa. Taj has this gift to weave notes together in timeless beauty, delivering them with his unique, on-point, effortless voice that lulls you into a cloud of confidence." - Reggaeville
