Uprising

Released in 1980, Uprising is the twelfth studio album by Bob Marley and the Wailers. The album is one of Marley’s most directly religious, with nearly every song referencing his Rastafarian beliefs, culminating in the acoustic recording of “Redemption Song.”

The lyrics are both powerful as well as thought provoking while exploring vast subject matters about religion, spirituality politics along with poverty. It is an iconic album that has stood the test of time. Its themes of freedom and equality remain as important today as they were when the album was first released. The albums simple yet moving lyrics are complemented by its standout tracks like “Could You Be Loved ” “Coming in from the Cold ” and “Redemption Song.”
