KashieF Lindo Shares 1st Single For 2025 “One Breath”

KashieF Lindo, the vocalist with the golden voice, has just shared his first record for 2025. The song, titled “One Breath,” went live on streaming platforms on Tuesday, February 4th, and it comes to us courtesy of the Florida-based roots label, HeavyBeat Records.

Produced by the late Everald Metcalf“One Breath” is a motivational reggae record. The lyrics, which were penned by Willie Lindo, succinctly encourage listeners to relax and refrain from becoming overwhelmed with the unexpected and sometimes unwanted tortuous path life takes. In lieu of becoming anxious, Lindo suggests that we modify our mood and trust the Most High.

The track is as soothing as it is inspirational. In addition to KashieF and Willie, who did the drum programming and guitars, respectively, Robbie Shakespeare (bass) and Robbie Lyn (piano, organ, and keyboards) also contributed to the rhythm.

The team at HeavyBeat Records will be releasing the official lyric video imminently, but for now, the audio can be streamed/downloaded on all major music platforms.
