I like a lot of Winston's tunes, but I'm not entirely convinced. Sometimes I think it could be Papa D from Sweden. And as I'm writing this, "Black and White" comes on, and I immediately get goosebumps again.
So I could just as well write, forget everything I've written about the album so far and enjoy the beautiful music.

DubIt meets my expectations. If I just stream it, it'll probably be more of a coincidence if I hear the album again, but if there's a full-length release, I'll have to let my mood decide whether I treat myself to the album.

Hehe, yes it's good!
I've also since checked that the vocal partners are listed at the bottom, for example on Spotify. I actually recognized Winsten Francis and Papa Dee. That wasn't so obvious for me, because I can hear Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, and the like much better. I would have definitely recognized Brinsley Forde, too, but I probably would have had to listen again for that.
I don't know the others.
Well, it doesn't really matter, but I had a certain desire to add a little more about myself here.
