Description
In 1975, Marley had his international breakthrough with his first hit outside Jamaica, "No Woman, No Cry", from the Natty Dread album. This was followed by his breakthrough album in the United States, Rastaman Vibration (1976).
In December 1976, Jamaica was going through elections.Prime Minister Michael Manley used the campaign slogan "We know where we're going." In response Marley wrote "Exodus", which is the title track of the album. The song became a No. 1 hit in Jamaica as well as the United Kingdom and Germany.[4]
The album's track listing is split over two halves,[5] the first half features songs of religious politics and opens with Natural Mystic which ia slow tempo "fade up" song, followed by "So Much Things To Say" which was described by the BBC as being "exuberant" and the second half of the album features songs revolving around sex and keeping faith.[5]
