Yellowman, also known as King Yellowman, is a Jamaican reggae and dancehall DJ known for his distinctive voice and catchy lyrics. He rose to prominence in the 1980s and became one of the most popular dancehall artists of that era. Yellowman's style often incorporates elements of humour, boastfulness, and social commentary. Born Winston Foster in 1956 in Kingston, Jamaica, Yellowman faced challenges from a young age due to being an albino, but he overcame these obstacles to become a highly successful musician. He gained attention for his toasting style, which involves rhythmic chanting over reggae and dancehall beats. Some of Yellowman's most famous songs include Zungguzungguguzungguzeng, Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt, and Mr. Chin. His music often addresses social issues as well as themes of love, partying, and his own experiences. Yellowman's impact on dancehall music and Jamaican culture is significant, and he remains an influential figure in the genre to this day. This iconic 180-gram yellow vinyl, including sleeve notes released on Burning Sounds, captures Yellowman in combination with his sparring partner Vernon Rainford, better known as Fathead, and captures Yellowman at the height of his powers. This re-issue of 'Divorced! (For Your Eyes Only) is released on 180-gram limited edition YELLOW vinyl, includes insert comprehensive sleeve notes.
