Christafari
Original Love
Lion of Zion Entertainment, 2018
“Original Love” is more of the tight, near-perfect roots reggae that has earned Christafari a degree of mainstream respect extremely rare for Christian artists. You wouldn’t think that a band so committed to its calling as self-proclaimed “musicianaries” would consistently top its particular genre’s Billboard charts. Christafari does, even though plenty of their lyrics aren’t just biblically based, they’re straight from the Bible. The 14-song album, which includes a fantastic cover of Hillsong Worship’s “What a Beautiful Name,” is the group’s second No. 1 reggae debut in as many years, and there’s a reason. Recommended.
