This thoughtful and reflective project brings together the stories and sounds from their recent singles into one cohesive body of work. At it's core, Echoes of Time is about awareness. The album does not attempt to resolve the contradictions of the world, but instead sits with them - examining the tension between past and present, memory and reality, connection and disconnection. Lead singer and songwriter Meta Dia writes about deeply personal moments of love, identity, and belonging, while also looking at the bigger picture of humanity and the world we live in. Musically, the album is built on the steady, heavy rhythms of classic roots reggae. However, it also branches out into a global sound. You will hear elements of Afrobeat, soul, and hip-hop woven naturally throughout the tracks. Some tracks lean into warmth and openness, while others carry a sharper, more urgent edge. Together, they create a dynamic listening experience that feels fluid, layered, and intentional.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eTRACKS:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e A1 - Ready and Steady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e A2 - Namanalla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e A3 - Matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e A4 - Sweet Memories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e B1 - Good Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e B2 - Echoes of Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e B3 - Walls of Colonisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e B4 - Woman Feat Alpha Blondy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e C1 - Revelation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e C2 - Just for the Soil Feat Tarrus Riley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e C3 - Tropics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e12\u003c\/span\u003e C4 - We're Gonna Make It Feat Samory-L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e13\u003c\/span\u003e D1 - Madina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e14\u003c\/span\u003e D2 - Ayeee Feat Stone Bwoy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e15\u003c\/span\u003e D3 - Gratitude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e16\u003c\/span\u003e D4 - Divinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will shipping take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is In Stock\/Inbound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Pre-Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Backorder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship within 1 day of being available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship near or on release date, as they are checked in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship as they become available, and may take 2-12 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meta \u0026 the Cornerstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47964249555102,"sku":"3760248838847","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/8321\/8590\/files\/image_469b5a43-4917-40fd-ad80-1b4846ff29b8.jpg?v=1783805504","url":"https:\/\/soundslikevinyl.com\/products\/joey-badass-1999-vinyl-lp-copy","provider":"SoundsLikeVinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
