🇯🇲 Few artists in Jamaican music history boast a body of work as revered and influential as Johnny Osbourne’s. In a career spanning almost six decades, Johnny has traversed the musical changes from reggae to dancehall with ease, earning him the title ‘Dancehall Godfather’, bestowed upon him by generations of musicologists and fans alike. Now in 2025, some of Johnny’s most evergreen songs have been reimagined thanks to Frenchie, the top-ranking producer and Maximum Sound label owner, who has assembled a team of world-class Jamaican musicians, including saxophonist Dean Fraser and mixing engineer Gregory Morris, to reinterpret these celebrated anthems. The resulting album, Universal Love Showcase, which features such visionary artists as Tarrus Riley, Anthony B, Macka B, Alborosie, and Aza Lineage in combination with Johnny, is out now on all digital and streaming platforms thanks to VP Records.
