Mikey, the indisputable General of reggae music, has partnered with Mountain Peak Records for his latest single. Titled Ain’t No Sunshine, the song is his rendition of Bill Withers‘ 1971 megahit with the same name. Mikey General‘s Ain’t No Sunshine was released on April 8th, 2024, and it serves as the introductory track to his forthcoming studio album.
The song surprised a lot of his fans and supporters because they’ve gotten accustomed to the Rastafarian 1) penning and performing his own songs, and 2) singing about social issues and spirituality. That said, Mikey’s long-time friend and owner of Mountain Peak Records, Anthony Cargill, has been urging him to venture outside the box for some time, and now that he has done it, the move is paying off. Ain’t No Sunshine is being received with delight and enjoyment by both lovers of reggae and lovers of soul.
It can be streamed and/or downloaded from all digital music platforms.
