Review by Shannon Medlin

Album Review: Deep Rockers Back A Yard by Naâman (2013) Naâman’s Deep Rockers Back A Yard is a gem that captures the raw essence of reggae, blending Ragga and Roots Reggae with a French twist. Released in 2013 under Soulbeats Records, this album doesn’t just pay homage to Jamaica; it brings the island vibes straight to France. It’s not often you hear an artist from Europe channeling such authentic Caribbean energy, but Naâman pulls it off like he was born on the same soil as Bob Marley himself. One standout track is “Frontline.” The song hits hard right from the start with its punchy horns—courtesy of Coviel Gazeille and Yann Deschamps—and Sly Dunbar’s unmistakable drumming. Lyrically, it’s all about resilience and standing firm against adversity, themes that resonate deeply in Roots Reggae. What makes “Frontline” memorable isn’t just the tight instrumentation or the layered vocals courtesy of Célia Tritz and Gaëlle Collin; it’s how everything comes together to create a vibe so infectious you can’t help but skank along. This one sticks because it feels personal yet universal—a call to arms for anyone fighting their battles. Then there’s “Smoke Tricks Jamaican Flavor,” which is exactly what the title promises: pure, unfiltered Jamaican vibes. With Quentin Dupont laying down some smooth guitar riffs and Rudy Danger holding down both bass and keys, this track oozes authenticity. Cutty Ranks’ contribution on lyrics adds a Ragga edge that elevates the entire piece. You’ll find yourself zoning out during those instrumental breaks, imagining palm trees swaying under the sun. It’s catchy without being overproduced, leaving enough room for each element to breathe. The production quality deserves a shoutout too. Alexis Mischler and Vincent Forgue didn’t just mix and master this album—they nurtured it. Every layer, from Dalton Browne’s guitar work to Romain Bellenger’s percussion, sits perfectly in the mix. And let’s not forget Sam Clayton and Stephen Stewart behind the recording desk, capturing every nuance with precision. These guys clearly knew what they were doing. What struck me most about Deep Rockers Back A Yard wasn’t just its musical brilliance—it was its emotional depth. Listening to it felt like flipping through a photo album full of memories I hadn’t lived yet. Tracks like “Freedom” and “House Of Love” have this way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it, reminding you why music matters in the first place. And here’s the kicker: despite hailing from France, Naâman manages to sound more Jamaican than half the artists coming out of Kingston these days. Maybe that’s the secret sauce—the distance gave him perspective, allowing him to craft something truly special. Or maybe he just has mad respect for the culture. Either way, Deep Rockers Back A Yard is proof that reggae knows no borders. So go ahead, give it a spin. Just don’t blame me if you catch yourself booking a flight to Montego Bay after hearing it.
