Available now on iTunes
After the release of the single "Guess Who", here comes the brand new Jah Sun's album “Between The Lines” out on April 28th.
"Between the Lines" takes listeners on a journey that starts at track 1 and ends at track 12. It is Jah Sun’s most personal work to date, and one he is immensely proud of.
“This was different than my previous works, mostly because of the process, but also because I’ve never opened up like this before. This album is so honest, tells much of my stories, and highlights musicians who have influenced me in the past. Between the Lines will go in to my catalog as a defining moment, both musically and personally.”
Recorded between California and Italy, this album is produced by Don Sugar for Sugar Cane Records, Blo Som'Em Ent, Plum Music.
