Bay-C shows spiritual side on first solo album

Roshaun 'Bay-C' Clarke is ready to unleash his first full-length solo album called 'Holy Temple'.

The project is considered a collection of inspirational and introspective songs and visuals that have been put together over the past five years by Bay-C.

"It is a story of spirituality, love and travel through the eyes of Bay-C. Inspiration came from different events in my life, from friends like Lil Joe, Oneil and Delus passing, to the birth of my youngest daughter, to my solo career. They all fed into this album," Bay-C said

Bay-C admits that five years is a long time to be working on an album, but believes nothing is done before its time, and now with a new inspirational and spiritual wave in music, the timing is perfect.

"I think it's a new energy globally. It's that time in the world where people are more enlightened and seek more depth spiritually. The music needs to support that as well," Bay-C added.

The project shows his growth as an artiste. Holy Temple highlights the roots and alternative side to Bay-C, rather than the hardcore dancehall personality fans are used to.

But the artiste assures listeners that Holy Temple is still 100 per cent him, showcasing his full range of vocals.

The 10-track project is also a fully visual one, with 10 corresponding videos for the album.

"The videos were shot and edited by Benjamin Lidsky. We shot visuals all over the world, from the Negev Desert of Israel, to the Alps, to the shores of Jamaica," Bay-C said.

The Holy Temple album will be officially released on November 16.
