The protest reggae single we need right now.

5 mins of heavyweight reggae. Hypnotic groove locked in, bass fat, drums tight and unshakable. Then it hits:

Powerful stacked backing vocals on the chant - "Enough of the talk now, let's walk the walk now, let's come together, we got to set ourselves free" - call-and-response, like a march. Brass section punches in and lifts it - short, sharp stabs that turn the chorus into an anthem.

Ben Reel doesn't play safe:

‘Spirit’s Not Broken' album reviews (2026)

“It's a soulful album that blends blues, soul, and Americana beautifully. With his comforting lyrics, he shares his experiences and stories from his life, offering hope and confidence in a world that desperately needs it. His raw voice keeps him grounded and relatable.- 10/10” - Christine Rubel

— Der Hörspiegel

“It's truly enjoyable and allows you to lose yourself in these soulful compositions. With his twelfth release, the singer-songwriter has created a lasting legacy. Thoughtful and inspiring lyrics, blending rock, Americana, folk, and soul, make the world's problems a little easier to bear. - 9/10 ”” - Lucie Elendt

— Crossfire-Metal

“Reel’s philosophy seems to emphasise that reality is staring at us all the time, and all we need do is stare right back. That and his mix of optimism and defiance will help us get through. 7.5/10” - Jackie Hayden

— Hot Press Magazine (Ireland) February 2026 - Review of "Spirit's Not Broken"

“It’s a well-constructed record with some fine musicianship on display. It’s clear that Reel’s spirit is still strong, and if anything, it’s burning brighter than ever, and that he intends to keep on keeping on.” - Darren Lumbroso

— Americana UK
