Journey to Addis is the third album by Jamaican reggae group Third World, released by Island Records in 1978. It marks a shift from pure reggae to a fusion of reggae and soul music. The album reached number 66 in Canada.[1]
The group was looking for a worldwide success and not success in just Jamaica and England, hence the new fusion approach, which may not have pleased the die-hard reggae fans. A case in point may be the O'Jays cover "Now That We Found Love".[2] The song peaked at number 10 in the UK, number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 55 on the RPM Top 100. The follow-up single, “Cool Meditation,” was a British top 20 hit.
