Reggae recording artist Mr. Cool has released his new single “All Those Lies”, which became available on major streaming platforms on February 7, 2026, via his independent label You & I Productions. 

Rooted in conscious reggae, “All Those Lies” explores challenges affecting the Rastafarian community, including misinformation, declining morality, and mental oppression. The inspiration for the song came during a TikTok Live session when a viewer encouraged Mr. Cool to create music focused on guiding and uplifting young people, an idea that later evolved into the finished record written approximately six months ago.

Mr. Cool also addressed the ongoing social pressures faced by members of the Rastafarian community, noting that restrictions and misunderstandings have long existed due to their spiritual beliefs and stance against systemic structures. Through this release, he aims to spark dialogue.

The single was self-produced by Mr. Cool, whose given name is Dave Clarke. Musical contributions include Coptic Dennis Reeves on strings and Isax on saxophone, while Benero Benny Dyer handled all additional instrumentation on keyboards. Background vocals were delivered by Rosie, who is also known for her work with veteran reggae singer Sanchez.

Through “All Those Lies,”Mr. Cool hopes listeners will recognize the importance of balanced parenting and the role both mother and father play in shaping the lives of their children.
