<i>Infallible</i> (album) 2012 studio album by Tanya Stephens

Infallible is the 7th studio album released by Jamaican recording artist Tanya Stephens. This album was unique in the sense that it was a free download to all her fans. Tanya released the album for free stating "Infallible by Tanya Stephens! Feel free to forward the link to as many people as you wish. The album is completely free of cost. Enjoy!!" Andrew Henton, Tanya's life partner and co-founder of Tarantula Records stated the reason the album was a free download was because Tanya wanted to do something special for her fans, the major reason being that there's a recession going on, and things are already hard on everyone, he then stated that Tanya believes that when she gives an album to a major label, technically she's giving it away for free anyway, so she would much rather give it directly to the fans. The website that originally hosted the album was BYM Riddim, although the website has since shut down making the album unavailable to download, although the album has been uploaded to other websites such as Mediafire & Rapidshare by fans making it easy enough to download. Tanya approves of this, as it was a free album, she merely wanted the album to reach her fans. The album was also given away as a hard copy with Jamaican-based German magazine, 'Riddim' and can be backordered.

<i>Falling into Place</i> (Rebelution album) 2016 studio album by Rebelution

Falling Into Place is the sixth album by California band Rebelution, released on June 3, 2016. The collection is a joint venture between their 87 Music label and NYC-based Easy Star Records. A dozen years into the group's stirring career with over 450,000 albums sold independently, the release of this new album finds the group more energized than ever. Frontman, Eric Rachmany states, “We named the album Falling Into Place because all of our varied inspirations and experiences came together into one cohesive collection of music that we all really love.” Falling Into Place mingles stories of love gained and lost with reminiscences of years gone by and socially pertinent songs like Know It All, which challenges the hatred in an ever-more-violent world and a fraught political environment. Jamaican deejay and one time tour-mate Protoje adds guest vocals on Inhale Exhale, an intense earworm celebrating the movement towards further legalization of marijuana.
