Brooklyn, NY ? With their genre-bending electronic-tinged single ?She told me? currently rocking international airwaves (BBC Radio, WKCR), Noble Society is a band ready to brand themselves as the evolution of dancehall. Noble's futuristic reggae sound, with a world-view, incorporates both their quintessential reggae roots and their need to represent Brooklyn's vibrant cultural milieu.

Comprised of musicians who have worked with a ?who's who? of music (Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Branford Marsalis, John Kale, Luciano), Noble Society was born out of a desire to blend the sounds of dancehall with hip hop and world music ? call it urban reggae. Taking note from the grime scene currently brewing in London, the Noble Society sound is grounded in roots music and always creating and reaching towards the future, says founder, and guitar virtuoso, Diego ?Fuego? Campo.

Creating a sound that is both world and urban, with a vibrant live show to match, Noble members Fuego, MC Delie and Jahdan craft a sound that is both hip hop and reggae, both conscious and beat-driven. With the release of their second full-length album, Take Charge, Noble is one of the most promising reggae bands on the rise. Their sweet melodies and funky beats take listeners on a journey to a place where great music and greater understanding take charge.

Take Charge takes elements from UK grime, hip hop and dubstep, or ?futuristic reggae,? as they like to describe it. On the dub meets electronica ?She Told Me,? frontman Jahdan, accompanied by angelic harmonies, waxes melodiously of a lost love, while the thumping bass reminds you this is no suburban ditty. Rather, it is how a man living in a concrete jungle can best express his yearning for a past love.
