Chronixx Announces Chronology - The 7th Anniversary Edition

08/14/2024

For a very long time there was no activity on Chronixx's Instagram, but on July 7th, which marked the 7th anniversary of the release date of his last album Chronology (July 7th, 2017), he posted the album cover. And now we know that this was just the beginning. On August 8th, a special 7th Anniversary Edition of Chronology was announced. Read all details below:

In 2017, after recording and touring his sound-bending EP and mixtapes for 3 years, Chronixx was ready to release his highly anticipated debut album/LP. The artist was right on time with a sonic experience that was purposed for a spiritual and cultural uprising. Chronology delivered 16 songs that would serve as a landmark installation for the endless worlds of Jamaican music. For his most collaborative project, Chronixx employed a wide range of collaborators to write and produce this contemporary presentation of Jamaican Roots music. The project begins with an autobiographic declaration of the artist’s roots as a second-generation talent from the tough Spanish town streets.

In “Spanish Town Rockin”, Chronixx proves that in the studio he is Nicodemus, The Heptones and Cocoa Tea all in one. A type of vocal performance that feels soulfully refreshing to anyone who has been touched by the classic soul music of Jamaica. This timeless voice rides steadily with the tides in Skanking Sweet and Majesty, leading a cheerful choral in I Can and sending a message of introspection to dancehall fans with Likes. Throughout the album, the imaginative performer chants through vibrant orchestral arrangements in Legend and Black is Beautiful, and the deep blue chord progressions of Selassie Children to accomplish precisely what he set out to do from his Roots and Chalice Mixtape - weave together the sonic threads that tell the story of the Jamaican sound.

Chronixx revisited his Chronology Sessions to commemorate 7 years since the release of the album. The Artist selected 7 of his personal favorites from the album and rendered new versions including minimalist remixes and performances. This edition of Chronology - the 7th Anniversary release, is currently available exclusively on vinyl. These new versions are brutal, unpolished and spacial, exposing the melodies and the more acoustic/microphone-recorded elements of the songs.
