UB40 had some of the biggest hits of the 80s, incorporating reggae within the world of pop to the same extent as Sting did in the 80s, with hits like © ‘Red Red Wine’, ‘(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You’ and ‘I Got You Babe’. The Birmingham group eventually split in 2008, leading to the formation of two rival bands. Robin Campbell and Earl Falconer formed the 'official' UB40 while Terence “Astro” Wilson and Ali Campbell continued under the alias 'UB40 featuring…'. Over those forty years, both bands have suffered their fair share of loss, in particular, the death of Astro in November 2021 which marked a turning point for the English musicians. Thankfully, the singer did have time to leave his mark on their latest album, Unprecedented, which contains around a dozen cover songs - UB40’s speciality.


The album kicks off with the poignant 'What Have I Done?' By The Frightnrs, a brilliant New York reggae band signed to Daptone Records. Following that, a rocksteady interpretation of Johnny Cash’s 'Sunday Morning Coming Down' featuring Jamaican studio legends Robbie Lyn (keyboard) and Sly Dunbar (drums), who are also behind the arrangement of boy band East 17’s 'Stay Another Day'. This slight detour quickly gets back on track with a beautiful version of 'Sufferer' by Derrick Harriott’s Kingstonians and the uber-cool Heaven in Her Eyes, a cover by Gappy Ranks on the riddim of Marley’s Soul Rebel.


Louisa Mark’s 'Caught You in a Lie', a lovers’ rock hit produced by Lloyd Coxsone (owner of English sound system Sir Coxsone—not to be confused with Studio One’s Coxsone Dodd) and released in 1975, is a great track, as is the smooth version of Stevie Wonder’s 1971 Motown funk hit 'Do Yourself a Favor'. The album is proof that UB40 could surely turn anything into pop music. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
