New York City/Jamaica - March 26th, 2015 - The Royal Family of Reggae,Morgan Heritage, have teamed up with Yahoo!

Regarding the song, Morgan Heritage states, "So Amazing is the type of song that puts you in a fun loving mood from the drum roll that starts the record. Because we were able to create a sound on this record with such universal appeal, J Boog, Jemere Morgan and Gil Sharone fit in perfectly."
Morgan Heritage, which has established themselves as the premiere live group on the reggae circuit, will be kicking off the Strictly Roots tour in support of the band's newest album on April 8th in Washington D.C. and wrapping up in Las Vegas, NV on April 27th.The tour also features third generation ambassador from the Morgan family, Jemere Morgan, as a special guest.

Guided by sheer acumen and a passionate desire to make their already rich musical legacy even more impactful, Morgan Heritage, after much deliberation and contemplation, triumphantly delivers their latest album exclusively on their very own label CTBC (Cool To Be Conscious) Music Group.
