Album Review: We Can Make It by Ghost – A Dancehall Vibe Straight from Jamaica
Yo, let’s talk about We Can Make It, the latest drop from Ghost, a Jamaican gem that feels like sipping coconut water on a hot Kingston day. Released under Builders label, this reggae-dancehall fusion is low-key fire, packed with good vibes and lyrics that stick to your brain like gum on a summer sidewalk.
First off, shoutout to “Must Be My Birthday.” This track? Pure energy. From the opening beat, it pulls you in like a magnet—those horns hit just right, and Ghost's flow is smooth but punchy. You know how some songs make you wanna grab someone random and start dancing? Yeah, that’s this one. The vibe is celebratory, almost ironic, like Ghost is throwing his own party and inviting us all along for the ride. Plus, who doesn’t love a birthday anthem that isn’t actually about cake or candles? It’s catchy as hell, and I caught myself humming it while brushing my teeth last night (true story).
Then there’s the title track, “We Can Make It.” Man, this song hits different. It’s got that slow-burn build-up, where you feel every word Ghost spits. There’s something raw about it—like he’s speaking directly to anyone who’s ever doubted themselves or felt stuck. By the time the chorus kicks in, you’re ready to conquer the world (or at least finish your laundry). It’s empowering without being cheesy, which is hard to pull off. Honestly, if this song doesn’t get you hyped for life, check your pulse.
Now, here’s the thing about We Can Make It: it’s not trying too hard to impress. No flashy gimmicks, no overproduced nonsense. Just straight-up authentic dancehall vibes with a sprinkle of reggae soul. And honestly? That’s what makes it memorable. Ghost knows his lane and stays in it, delivering an album that feels more like a conversation than a performance.
But here’s the kicker—I listened to this album during a thunderstorm, and somehow, it made the rain sound like part of the mixtape. Like, maybe Ghost intended for nature to join the session? Or maybe I’m just losing it. Either way, props to him for creating music that even Mother Nature vibed with.
So yeah, give We Can Make It a spin if you’re into music that feels alive. And hey, if nothing else, “Must Be My Birthday” will remind you to celebrate the little things—even toothpaste foam counts.
