Black Uhuru - Bad Girl African Love

Review by Louis Delos Angeles

Album Review: Bad Girl African Love by Black Uhuru Released in 1979 on Jammy's Records, Bad Girl African Love is a raw gem from Jamaica’s reggae scene. This isn’t just another Roots Reggae and Dub record—it’s a vibe, an experience that sticks to your soul like sticky rice. Produced by Prince Jammies (a name you don’t forget), with arrangements handled by both Black Uhuru and Jammy himself, this album feels like it was crafted under moonlight, late-night vibes fueling every beat. The tracklist is short but sweet—just two songs, each followed by its own version twist. “Bad Girl” kicks things off strong. It’s impossible not to remember the hook; it’s smooth yet edgy, pulling you into the story of love gone wrong. The lyrics are simple but hit hard because they feel real. You can almost picture the scenario—someone wrestling with emotions, trying to figure out if their affection for this “bad girl” is worth all the drama. And then there’s the DJ Version—a stripped-down take where the vocals ride over the rhythm like waves lapping at shorelines. If you’re into lyrical flow, this one will keep ya hooked. Flip to “African Love,” and suddenly you're transported somewhere deeper. This tune has a heartbeat of its own, pulsing with pride and connection to roots. The Dub Version amplifies that magic, letting the basslines and echoes do the talking. Listening to it feels like stepping into a dreamworld where time slows down and everything makes sense. What makes Bad Girl African Love stand out? Maybe it’s how minimalistic it feels without ever being boring. Or maybe it’s the way Prince Jammies mixed these tracks—they’ve got grit, texture, and layers that reveal themselves over repeated listens. Black Uhuru wasn’t messing around here; they delivered something authentic, unpolished, and alive. Funny thing about this album—it’s kinda like finding a hidden treasure chest buried in the sand. At first glance, it seems small, but once you dig in, you realize how rich it is. Makes me wonder what other gems are floating out there, waiting to be rediscovered.
