Featured Songs:

“Come My Way” features guest appearances by singers Aisea Taimani and Riya Davis. The Reggae Odyssey song emerged from a period of profound personal loss in 2013, during which Azato mourned the passing of his maternal grandparents and three students he had taught and coached. This emotional backdrop inspired the track's themes of seeking solace and strength through faith. “Life is hard and filled with pain / That’s why we should call upon your name / Now is a needy time / Down on my knees I’m crying / Oh Lord, please come my way.”

On the Reggae Dance Party track,“Hello Sunshine,” Azato teams up with Jamaican reggae legend Luciano for a song that radiates joy and perseverance. Over a smooth, island-soul rhythm accented by flute, organ, and horns, the two artists trade verses about finding strength in faith and gratitude through life’s highs and lows.The spiritual lyrics echo reggae’s deep tradition of religious and moral reflection, where songs often serve as prayers of praise and perseverance. “Somedays are good, some days are bad,” Azato sings, before reminding us to “give thanks whatever comes our way.” Together, he and Luciano offer a soulful reminder that light can be found in every season — sunshine or rain.
