"Apple's delicate dry-honey voice-with its trademark stuttering vibrato-takes both lead and back vocals, over the two production houses' gleaming arrangements, heavily processed horns, bubbling sfx, and those lengthy tape delays". - Angus Taylor
His struggling is reflected in both the music and the lyrics on Teach Them Right – “To all those homeless people, I know your cry” he sings in the album opener Mr. Conman, a great introduction to this phenomenal and occasionally autobiographical album. - Reggaemani
".....Without any doubt this expertly produced "Teach Them Right" album marks Apple Gabriel's return to prominence!!..." - Reggae Vibes
The album comes via the mentioned Dutch duo of labels and it is one which is pretty much a ‘can’t-miss’. If you have traditionally loved the music of Apple Gabriel and/or Israel Vibration, there’s almost no way in the world that you will not like this album. What it does is bring forth that same, tried and proven, methodology of making vibes and just dusts it off and pushes it again in this very new and refreshing way. Also, the album is going to provide more than just a few new fans the opportunity to catch on and see what the ‘fuss’ (for the past thirty years) has been about because it is very strong and hopefully it does pull in a great number of new fans. What said new fans will find on ”Teach Them Right” is pretty much a master at work as Apple Gabriel returns from such bad conditions to thrill us once again. - Achis' Reggae Blog

Bio
Apple Gabriel,
International Reggae Superstar and former lead singer, creator, and songwriter for Israel Vibration is more than just an artist, he has been the revolutionary leader of a generation fighting for world change, peace, and social justice. His career is as versatile as the bionic roots harmonies he fashioned over four decades ago and the passion he puts into every single performance is unwavering. His music has truly stood the test of time and shows no signs of slowing down. Apple Gabriel has been a hero to both new and old generations of artists and musicians.
A person who embodies the meanings of strength and determination, he has managed to overcome adversity, illness, and poverty to mark his place in history as one of the greatest musical geniuses hailing from Jamaica. Gabriel’s socially conscious, devotional, and inspirational tunes have proven to be more than relevant to listeners of all ages for many years.
This creative mastermind has just released a brand new album entitled “Teach Them Right” that has debuted at #1 on the charts in Europe. Despite his 11 year absence from the music scene, Apple has managed to successfully bring back the soulful reggae sounds and roots harmonies the world has been missing!
Apple Gabriel’s triumphant return already has his fans and others in the reggae world waiting with great anticipation for what will come next. With all that Mr. Gabriel has accomplished, there is no doubt that he will deliver on whatever it is he has in store for us in the future.
