Artist description "Bermuda Wake Up", the self-produced album from Rastafarian Bermuda natives husband/wife team, Ras Leachie and Sister Esther, offers the listener an original, unique roots-reggae vibe on every track, with its danceable rhythms, pulsating bass, cool guitar licks and contagious choruses. Inspired by the words of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I and the likes of world-renowned reggae star, Robert Nester Marley, this release features a compilation of songs that are so filled with spirit, they impact your mind, your body and your soul. Passion and conviction explode to the surface in the tracks "Bermuda Wake Up" and "Rich Man's Paradise", while songs such as "The Vatican", "Judgement", "Lay Down My Life" and "Love, Sweat & Tears" possess messages of apocalyptic warning through scriptural reference and historical study. The remaining tracks are pure, proud declarations of faith, love and praise for the Almighty. The album, "Bermuda Wake Up", encapsulates the blatant disregard for severe spiritual, social and economic issues that are reaching crisis levels and steadily crippling humanity. Having been writing and creating music together for almost a decade, Spiritual Essence is intent on spreading a serious message through their lyrics and warn, "People, take heed! You can't plant corn and reap peas".

Press Reviews REVIEW........ "ON THE RECORD" by Roger Crombie, Bermuda's Foremost Critic (Mid Ocean News - July 13th, 2001) "This is tight, upbeat roots reggae music delivered with a punch that reflects the seriousness of the music." ... "Music reflects and leads popular thinking, and this CD has exactly captured what a lot of people are thinking as Bermuda pushes towards its manifest destiny as the Hong Kong of the 21st century." ... "This is a very fine album and, simultaneously, a worrying one." Standout track:- "Rich Man's Paradise" Rating: 4 star plus!
