"'Cool & Easy' is so many things," said Sammy Johnson. "It's the rekindling of my love for reggae music, it's my first reggae full album and it is a true authentic expression of how reggae music has touched my life and blessed me with the opportunity to do what I love."
Sammy continues, "I know the world is in such a fragile state right now. As easy as it would have been for me to reflect on that, I felt so strongly to consciously create something that would provide a place of refuge, peace, love and happiness. I'm so proud of this album and I pray that you receive it with all the love and good vibes it's wrapped up in."
While Johnson is known for his genre-bending skills, he pays tribute to reggae and his icons on "Cool & Easy", bringing his signature croon to catchy, timeless beats. A staple at reggae festivals, Sammy Johnson has performed at tastemaker events including One Love, Cali Roots and more both in the US and abroad.
