His seventh album “Pause” is his first solo project since he parted ways with the band Adowa. The official launch took place on August 9, 2021. Although he is a formidable idealist, Taj Weekes maintains a sophisticated and unflinching view of the world. This balance between seeing what is and what should be clearly empowers his social activism. His songs are of a great pragmatic and non-judgmental optimism that is not merely unusual in reggae, but almost unique. So what makes Taj Weekes special can be summed up in three words: musician. poet, and Humanitarian. What makes him amazing is the easy and spontaneous harmony between all facets of his existence.

Si l’on s’intéresse à ses textes, sa carrière, ses projets, son implication humaine et personnelle, on se rend vite compte que Taj Weekes est bien plus qu’un chanteur de reggae. Activiste social, poète, humaniste, ses chansons sont le reflet de cette identité forte, douce et consciente. Armé de sa plume, Taj Weekes nous offre dans ses œuvres et ses textes incisifs, la véracité aussi dure qu’elle soit, un regard juste sur le monde d’aujourd’hui.
