Machel Montano is keeping love alive with the release of his latest album ‘The Wedding’.
Trusting in the unknown, Machel stepped out of his mind and into his heart to create a musical love letter to his wife that he is sharing with the world. The album is dedicated to his wife, Renee, and celebrates the wonderful union that they share physically, spiritually, and culturally; just off the heels of their one-year marriage anniversary which took place on February 14th, 2020 (Valentine’s Day).
