A notable song from UB40’s debut album Signing Off is “Food for Thought.” It was their first single and became a UK Top 10 hit, despite being independently released. The song is notable for its politically-charged lyrics, criticising global hunger and inequality; especially referencing famine in Africa (before the 1984 wave of aid by UK and American artists, and others). Its blend of reggae rhythms and social commentary set the tone for UB40’s signature style—using music as a platform for activism while delivering irresistibly catchy vibe. Truly groovy and totally ahead of its time.
