#Growns “Our Father” the latest from Atlanta based singer/songwriter Heston finds the artist sending a message to his homeland of Dominica of optimism borne out of the light that can peek through when a people are committed to fighting the good fight. In every line that Heston emotes here, you can almost feel the movement of an entire people based on the clarion call of the chorus “We’ve been fighting resistance/We’ve been fighting resistance with persistence/Fighting for what’s rightfully ours.”
Backed by a fiery Reggae underscore to Heston’s heartfelt lyrics the story of “Our Father” unfolds with universal themes of freedom and self-determination that far too many must battle daily for survival. “Our Father” from Heston reminds us that at its best there’s a message of uplift in the music especially when the messenger is tuned into that higher frequency.
