“From Within” stands out from most traditional reggae albums, not only because it transcends genre – with heavy R&B inflections and hints of ‘80s pop and reggae disco – but because its refreshing perspectives challenge cultural and social norms. Whether it is discourse on political corruption, intimacy, trauma or mental health, Mortimer's rebel spirit defies the standards of yesterday and embraces a more enlightened future.
Mortimer describes From Within as an exploration of human duality, capturing both the pain and hope in our everyday lives, balancing themes of emotional struggle and joy. His meticulous approach contrasts with the ephemeral nature of today’s music industry, aiming to create a timeless piece.
