Turning Point

Barrington Levy

Polished early-90s dancehall meeting smooth lovers rock. High-register vocal acrobatics floating over heavy, sun-drenched basslines and rhythmic synth stabs.

February 10, 1992 · Profile Records

Moments Worth Listening For

The iconic opening trill of Desperate Lover that immediately establishes the album's vocal authority.

The heavy, rolling bassline of Lipstick that provides a gritty contrast to the polished vocal melodies.

The shift in tone on Mandela You're Free, where the romantic themes give way to a triumphant social anthem.
