Former Phishhead turned devout Hasidic Jew, Matisyahu (a.k.a. Matthew Miller) rose to unexpected and unbelievable heights of popularity in 2006 on the strength of his first major label album of dancehall-tinged reggae, YOUTH. That's right, Matisyahu is a Hasidic Jew who sings dancehall reggae, and competently at that. Despite a sizable fanbase, some see the singer as a pure gimmick, while others view his success as a slap in the face to in-the-trenches Jamaican dancehall artists. Whatever one's view, there's no arguing Matisyahu's passion and his passionate following.
Now, he's back with his new CD/DVD release No Place To Be. The CD contains 7 new tracks, including "Jerusalem (Out Of Darkness Comes Light)" and "Message In A Bottle" recorded with Sly & Robbie.
The "Live in Israel" DVD contains Matisyahu's captivating live show shot in Tel Aviv in Dec '05. The concert is intercut with interviews and street performances from Jerusalem during the same time period. In addition the DVD also includes the music video for "Jerusalem." DVD length: approx 1:30
