BTD Music Review Elihu Morris – Turmoil

Music Review: Elihu Morris, “Turmoil”

I feel that Elihu Morris’s single “Turmoil” off his album Broken Silence is a powerful statement about the state of the world today. With its conscious reggae rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics, the track captures the chaos and struggles that define modern life. “War, war, war everywhere” echoes throughout the song, serving as a stark reminder of the relentless conflicts that plague the planet. But Morris doesn’t just highlight war; his lyrics touch on a spectrum of global issues – political unrest, social injustice, environmental degradation, and the internal strife people face in their daily lives.

The reggae beat is infectious, steady, and deep, I have to say it’s an undercurrent of urgency. It’s the kind of rhythm that makes you want to move while also making you reflect. But it’s Elihu Morris’s voice that truly stands out. His unique, soulful delivery rises above the music with a palpable passion, pulling you into the heart of the message. The singer-songwriter seamlessly fuses elements of his African, Jamaican, and Indian heritage, creating a sound that feels both global and deeply personal. This multicultural influence informs not only his music but also his lyrics, as he weaves his own story into the fabric of the world’s turmoil.

Morris has a gift for tackling hard-hitting subjects without overwhelming the listener. His words feel like a call to action, a plea for awareness, and a reminder that change begins with waking up to the truth. The album Broken Silence is a testament to his commitment to conscious reggae music, with each of its 17 tracks showcasing his skill as a songwriter, composer, and co-producer. Collaborating with longtime partner Andrew Campbell, Morris brings to life a collection of rhythms and melodies that resonate with listeners of all ages, from children to adults, and yes, even world leaders.

“Turmoil” is a perfect example of the album’s core message: the world is in crisis, but we have the power to make a difference if we choose to see beyond the surface and fight for peace and justice. With Broken Silence, Elihu Morris has crafted an album that speaks to the soul, inspires action, and reminds us all of our shared humanity. His voice is a rallying cry for change, and “Turmoil” proves that reggae music, in its most conscious form, has the power to spark real-world transformation.
