Who's Guilty?

Such is the title of a new album due to be released later this month by two young Seychellois artists who go by the name of Jean Paul and Moses.

The 10-track album, which comprises both English (Jamaican) and Creole songs, includes a variety of music styles ranging from reggae and dance hall to ragga and slow.

Dem Ragga Gal, Last Prayer and Cod Reggae are some of the songs that feature on the new album which has been recorded at the Sauro's Studio.

Most of the songs, including a Creole love song entitled Wi Sheri, explores everyday life situations. But the duo also have other specific messages about sensitive issues such as the different forms of entertainment and their consequences if they are not practised in the proper way.

"It is time for youths of today to realise that when practised in the right way, entertainment can be a very good therapy but they should not overdo it as it may destroy one's life," Moses explained.

The two young singers who have a preference for dance hall music, think that music is the most convenient way to pass on valuable messages to their fellow youths.

The duo, who have made the necessary musical arrangements by themselves, plan to officially launch their first album in Dome Discotheque on Praslin at the end of March.

Who's Guilty will cost R125 for CDs and R50 for cassettes. It will be on sale at the usual outlets on Mahe, Praslin and La Digue.
