The Jew is back in town, and it's about time. February 16th is the add date for "We Will Walk", the first single from the long-awaited follow-up album Light, which has no release date pinned down yet, but should be out this spring. I for one can't wait.

I downloaded "Youth" (the album) not having high expectations even though I did like the singles, but wasn't sure if i'd really like the album. However, even though it took a little while to grow on me, I really enjoyed and still enjoy it every once in awhile. So yes, I'm also looking forward to what new material my fellow Jew has in store for us.

LOL I dunno, just the fact that this is what you went with to begin the topic. He just screamed one-hit wonder and novelty to me, so I'm sure he'll end up a sophomore slump victim. I never thought his music was that interesting to begin with.

I never thought his music was that interesting to begin with. Ditto...I will honestly be surprised if I find anything he does interesting after my attempts to listen to the first album were pretty much futile. That's okay though, I like being surprised so i'm sure I'll give it the first listens at least and see if there is anything in the new stuff. Although I have a feeling if I like the new stuff, everyone else will wish it was the old stuff, lol

I remembered his Wikipedia page for the album said that it was anticipated since mid-2007.
Oh, and someone said "King Without a Crown" didn't have an available studio version before it became a hit, but after research I guess the Youth version is just a re-recording or a repeat of the Arise song.

And this belongs on an alternative station why? This is no better than sending Kanye for adds here.

It's not straight rap, it has definite reggae and rock elements. In fact, this may sound sacrilegious but I keep thinking of Bob Marley when I listen to his music.

Mine does as well and I have absolutely no problem with that. I'll paste one of my favorite quotes ever from LOST. (Sawyer singing Bob Marley) Michael: You singing Bob Marley? Sawyer: No. (little pause) Why? You like Bob Marley? Michael: Man, who doesn't like Bob Marley? Anyway, I think Matisyahu definitely belongs on Alternative. He has plenty of rock elements in music to belong there even if he has plenty of reggae and rap in his music. It's not as if he's the only artist ever to appear on the format in this character either. See 311, Sublime, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pepper, and others.

Michael: Man, who doesn't like Bob Marley? Well, I did until stoners and hippies ruined his music for me.

It never touched "King Without A Crown?" That song went top 10 right? I feel like KPNT usually plays most successful singles when I look at their playlist. I know that they're active-leaning, but still...that surprises me.

I'm referring to the chart at www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/Reports/Reg/EMDMenu.asp?sngcde=marlwtj . "Welcome to Jamrock" gets 40 spins, "King Without A Crown" gets 54.

Still, that'd be great to have an Alt station that played and still plays "Welcome to Jamrock."

I find this tidbit from FMQB interesting, not because of the album details, but because it's amazing that an album's entire makeup and marketing direction can truly lie solely in the ears of one person.

That reminds me I heard his song with the Crystal Method, "Drown in the Now," the other night at their show. Bizarrely, though, it was their entrance music, and I believe it was a radio edit. I'd forgotten about it already, though, and how good the song is.
Haven't heard this one yet and unfortunately, sans Crystal Method, I don't have high hopes.

Co-writing songs for Beyonce, James Blunt and Jordin Sparks does not qualify someone to be president of a record label.

This song is kinda lame. I wonder if the original single from a year ago would have been way better. I'm betting the answer is yes.

And someone like that should definitely not be in charge of the direction of a rock/reggae artist.
