Oh America


At one point in time, if you saw that a song was featuring Arrested Development, you would probably expect a lot of Speech. And if he wasn't in it, you'd probably be a little ticked off- this isn't AD! But here we have a song that says it features Arrested Development yet doesn't feature Speech, just Rasa Don and One Love, and I would be hard pressed to say that this is not an Arrested Development tune. I think that says a lot about the way that the group has developed with Speech- it truly is a collaboration now and not just a showcase for primarily one artist (not to say others didn't contribute, but nothing like the way things are today).

Anyway, here is a song with the reggae group UB40 (of "Red Red Wine" fame) featuring... Arrested Development. Great work by both AD members on this one, and you really get to hear a lot on One Love's background with his great verses.
