Legendary Jamaican artist Frederick “Toots” Hibbert just released the lead single, “Got To Be Tough,” off his upcoming album of the same title. The highly-anticipated 10-song collection will stand as Toots‘ first studio album (of new material) in more than a decade.
“Got To Be Tough” is an energizing record that renews the near six-decade career of the man who launched a new sound and genre with his 1968 release “Do The Reggay.” The single comes with the welcome announcement of a full-length Toots and The Maytals album, set for global release via Trojan Jamaica / BMG on August 28.
