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.

I was conceived to Bob Marley
I was chillin' inside my mum listening to Bob Marley.
I grew up as a kid to Bob Marley
I got high to Bob Marley
I got laid to Bob Marley
I married my wife to Bob Marley
I have a beautiful daughter named Marley. <3
Let's just say Owen Wilson ain't got shit on Marley & Me.

Boy finds solace in brotherhood and the worship of the most high, boy finds purpose in good hard work, boy finds his strength one night in the street(Lion of Zion) and finally boy meets girl and finds love. A beautiful video showing the blessed thing to do on this wicked world. Stay close to nature, love your fellow man and don’t forget to pray and give thanks to the Most High.
Blessing be upon us, the children of the Sun.
