A gambler would probably put money on these songs coming from earlier in
Junior Kelly's career than the polished, profile-elevating
Love So Nice.
Conscious Voice may well be a collection of earlier singles geared to
Kelly's roots reggae, Jamaican dancehall audience, since the sound is rougher, and the number of producers involved literally hits the double digits. The lack of musician credits and track info is irritating, particularly when the opening testament of faith, "Push A Fire," is built around the interplay between singers, with
Kelly (one assumes) doing rough-edged rapping. Some of the tracks sound almost retro with the prominent organ. The buoyant "Burn Down Rome" continues in the same barebones rhythm-track-vein, and "What A Worries" boasts much of the bassline and general flavor of
Bob Marley & the Wailers' "Hearthen" (the remix is even sparer with prominent percussion).
