MIAMI, Nov. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It has been close to a decade since GRAMMY award-nominated Julian Marley delivered his critically acclaimed "AWAKE" album, and while fans and music lovers have been clamoring for another musical offering, the reggae star has announced the January 25th release date of his fourth full length-album "As I Am".

Speaking on the album meaning and the long wait between projects, Julian explained "As I Am". "The title means exactly what it says, 'As I Am'. Each song is an expression from within, each feel represents who I am. I was inspired by GOD -life- love - family- people and the social issues we live in today and from ever since. Music is to gather the people under the umbrella of love and the love is in the music." The GRAMMY nominated artist further related, "Time is the master, we're always working on music even though you don't hear it. Music is a feeling and we don't rush it. The public can expect something that's not out there, a unique album tailored cut to uplift charge up and feel good."

The album encompasses the fundamental principal of Roots Rock Reggae which is fueled by love. The instrumental piece of this album includes key elements of Julian's experiences from England to Jamaica over into the US.
