Known in part for his aggressive DJ style, it is not often that we hear veteran dancehall artist Capleton singing. However, on his recently released single, Over & Done, that’s exactly what he did in the chorus.
Over & Done was shared on June 7th, 2024 via Deki Records. Everything about this dancehall tune stands out and has an inexplicable energy. From the artwork, which has a book panned to the left with Capleton‘s name and the song title on its cover, with a WhatsApp message in the background, to the track itself.
What’s more, Over & Done is a love song. This is another rarity for the Rastafarian deejay whose music usually delves into spirituality or social issues. On this track, King Shango finds himself in a relationship with a woman with whom he seems to be frustrated because of their ongoing arguments. Hence, he says it’s over and done.
This is a solid record that was well written and performed immaculately by Capleton. The production team should also be acknowledged for the quality mix, backing vocals, etc. Over & Done is available on all streaming platforms. If you are into authentic reggae-dancehall music, you should check it out.
The recently released Heavyweight Riddim, produced by Reble World Records and Back 2Da Future Music, is now available for digital download from various music platforms. The dancehall compilation which features Peppery, Delly Ranx, Wayne Wonder, Baby Boom, Mykal Rose, Capital D, Froggy MaddSquad, Menny More and 90’s Fella, has been getting good rotation and support from selectors and bloggers alike.
