Messiah J & the Expert

Here we are now… Introducing the third Messiah J & The Expert album, From The Word Go.
So what’s changed? Well, over the last few years a lot has changed. The news is jam-packed with wars, job losses, elections, early budgets, recessions, climate change and all manners of global socio-political realities. So, where the last Messiah J & The Expert album, the Choice Music Prize-nominated Now This I Have To Hear dealt with personal relationships, writer’s block and tennis, From The Word Go questions the state of the world we live in today.
