On April 18, veteran singer, songwriter, and producer Hopeton Lindo introduced one of his most profound tracks to date. The compelling roots reggae song, “Times That We’re Living In,” dives into the numerous global issues we face, all while seeking divine intervention.
Creating this song was a spontaneous process for Lindo. He describes how, during a studio session with co-producer Syl Gordon of Cell Block Records, the riddim inspired him to approach the microphone and perform straight from his heart, without pre-written lyrics.
“Times That We’re Living In” features contributions from drummer George Miller, bassist Donald Dennis, and keyboardist Paul Crossdale, all key members of The Firehouse Crew. Shauna “ShaunaDazzle” Dixon lends her talent to the background vocals, while Gordon mixed the track, which was then mastered by the Heavybeat Crew.
This impactful single is accessible for download on major streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon, and Pandora. It comes to us courtesy of Hopeton Lindo‘s own Irie Pen Records.
