Since the day this record came out it has been in rotation in my players. WK's vocal's are some of the best in the business but he doesn't over-do it like he so clearly could if he wanted. His writing ability is exactly right where it should be at this stage of his career, and his choice of tracks is as well. The best track here in my humble estimation is Health ad Strength, it's vibe just does it for me, an amazing tune it is, also of course like the opener, which took people by storm when they first heard it, despite never officially being released as a single, Power to Chant. Of course the 2 previous singles were fantastic in the title cut, and Never Go Where Pagans Go, check Breath of Fresh Air as well as it sounds perfect here as does Oh Mama with underrated dub poet DYCR.
Warrior King fits in perfectly as probably the young artist with the most potential all around in cultural roots reggae music. Artists such as Warrior King, Jah Cure, Turbulence and Lutan Fyah represent an up and coming talent pool much much deeper than the future of its brother dancehall (although future stars such as Vybez Cartel, and Assassin are no slouches at all) and hopefully those artists can break into the world view as dancehall has done, albums like Virtuous Woman, Ghetto Life (Jah Cure), A Different Thing (Turbulence) and especially Friends for Life (Legend Buju Banton) are certainly more than a good start. AMAZING! GO GET IT!

i recently picked up warrior king's virtuous woman and think that it was a good find. his vocal quality is among the best that i have heard. the songs are powerful and inspiring. they touch upon the core of reality, which is our humanity. i really want to give this album a five but think that if i do, it would be hard to judge any of his upcoming albums because i would always use it(virtuous woman) as sole criterion when judging the others. as i mentioned, all the songs are good but i am a big fan of the following: power to chant, never go where pagans go, africa shall be free, education is key,virtuous woman, oh mama, and what's going on. the lattr is a remake of the marvin gaye classic. warrior king also big up black women, a population in our society and the world that do not always get the recoginition that they deserve, on the album. go out and get it. it is truly refreshing.

Warrior King's Virtuous Woman is an excellent addition to any reggae lover's collection! It's a very positive album with absolutely great vocals and lyrics alike!
