Description: College Campus review Canada Oct 2008 David Kirton's latest album, Time for Change will embrace a new generation ready for new reggae anthems. He has busted out of the box with this, his third album, by blending elements of reggae, soul, rock and pop into a contemporary yet natural sound, which he then delivers with his exotically smooth, soul dipped voice. Each song on the album can stand on its own merit. Kirton has written songs with intelligent and grabbing lyrics that listeners can relate to on many levels. He then wraps them in some serious booty-shakin' rhythms, and a shimmy of urban flavor that would be at home in any dance club. Throughout, David still stays true to the deep roots of reggae. He pays respect to tradition, giving the music stability, but he is not tethered by it, allowing him to be visionary in the direction he takes his music. The tracks are driven by messages that are universal and relevant. "Sugar" is a sticky song that will have you singing along on the first chorus and continue long after it finishes. While at the same time he shines a light on the history of the sugar trade and the backs that bore it. It may very well break you of your sugar habit. "Camouflage" is a jewel of a song. Not so much anti-war as it is pro-peace, it delves into the changing landscape of war and people's perceptions of it. This song could become an anthem of a new generation. It'll have you dancing in your cammie's and digging for your peace emblems. The song "Free to Fly" is sung with such sincerity that it truly resonates within you. Freedom, no matter what kind, is precious. David Kirton has shared his soul with us on Time For Change - he could not have done it any other way. Listen to the music. Remember the name. There is something legendary brewing here. By Shelley Gummeson Oct 21, 2008
