The album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. They received criticism for 'going soft' as a result of the general sound of the album as well as the theme: songs primarily revolving around love, as well as marijuana.
The album's release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, heralding Marley's triumphant return to Jamaica from exodus in London. Three of the songs are new versions of tracks from the 1971 album Soul Revolution Part II. Well-known songs from the album include "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul". Kaya reached the top five in the UK album charts.

The lyrics of Bob Marley & The Wailers's song "Is This Love" talks about a person who wants to love and treat their partner right. They desire to share everything with their partner, including their room and bed. The lyrics suggest simplicity in their love as the person wants to provide for their partner, such as Jah provides bread. Through the lyrics, the person expresses their willingness and ability to love their partner and put forth effort into the relationship. They question whether what they are feeling is love and throw their "cards on the table" in hopes of finding out.

Thry tried to kill this man multiple times, assasins shot him, eventually it was "cancer"
Bullsht, it was probably poison, bruce lee too.... "cancer" his son? Shot from a real bullet filming a movie, they "forgot" to check the gun properly.....
Bruce and his family made Chinese mafia mad these are all easily googled facts by the way...
How you finna not check a gun on a massive movie stars movie set? Hows a real bullet make it on set?
Come on...
Kennedy and Marley? Probably CIA....
Marley started the first big black name in showbiz sure there were priors in jazz but Marley had the real rasta island real un American brainwashed black man...
And that scared them. Like Bruce scared his opponents. Epstein scared them. Theyre here. Watch what you say and do outside your homes as tempting as it is to be a revolutionist it has risks. At home? Defend it with physicality if need be. Practice striking offense and defence and wrestling offence and defence. I live in Toronto Canada no guns allowed only Gangsters carry them illegaly here so I leave long strong poles around the house......
A long life ia desire able. Healthy one. I'm not saying be a mute but find that balance of voice and defensiveness.
Bless. 100. ➕

My son has autism and didn't sleep well last night. It was a long, tiring day. So I'm snuggling him at bedtime and I hear him reciting something (he has a cute speech impediment) and I recognize Bob Marley lyrics : ) so I put on this song and my boy gets a huge sleepy smile 😊 Thanks, Bob.💙
