Maxi Priest new album easy to love

Legendary UK singer Maxi Priest dropped his new album Easy To Love digitally last Tuesday (July 1) and it hit stores nationwide this week. He landed an exclusive iTunes Radio First Play before the week of release, making him the first reggae artist in history to receive the coveted placement and promotion.

With over 15 million albums sold worldwide, multiple Grammy nominations and top 10 Billboard hits (including the No. 1 smash "Close To You") - the most successful solo act in British reggae history Maxi Priest continues to hit the road throughout this summer and fall in support his first studio album in almost a decade. His remaining dates span the U.S., Canada, England and the Caribbean. On July 20, he will headline NYC's Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival, which anticipates over 10,000 people.

Easy To Love is a fine representation of lovers' rock.The title track was a No. 1 hit on reggae charts last summer, evidence that Maxi Priest has a gift for staying fresh. "Hearts Across The World" is a song for our times and pleas for people of all races to love one another. The soulful "Without A Woman" features Jamaican legend Beres Hammond and even echoes the themes and intensity of James Brown's "It's A Man's Man's Man's World." Maxi continues to tug on women's heartstrings with irresistible tributes of enduring affection on "Loving You Is Easy," "Holiday" and his rendition of John Mayer's "Gravity" (which recently premiered on Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy).
