When asked to comment on the title of the album, singer Rolands Ūdris replied: "Radio Jah Jah is the radio that plays in our heads. And because of that we decided to pay homage to some of our favourite musicians."

At the time of release the band was praised for many original ideas in covering of these songs. For example, Modern Talking's disco hit "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" was done in a style resembling samba. The follow-up to Radio Jah Jah is due out in 2007.

gollark: If it wasn't for the awful error handling, general attitude of distrust of the programmer, lol no generics, poor type system, bad dependency management, beelike syntax, channels, and claims of "simplicity", I might actually use Go, even!
gollark: Go has *some* things going for it, like the moderately fast compiler and extensive libraries.
