New Music Coming From Big Feet Records: “Torch – All Alone”

Posted on June 22, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

On July 1st, 2022, Big Feet Records – the little label that’s doing big things – will share an entrancing new single from Trench Town recording artist Torch.

Over the past two years or so, reggae enthusiasts have come to appreciate Big Feet Records‘ consistency in delivering quality roots reggae music. To date, the imprint has done tunes with some of the most respected names in the industry: Luciano, Ken Boothe, Chuck Fenda, Junior Kelly, and that is just to name a few.

Next month however, Josh Harris – the man behind the brand – will switch things up a bit by sharing Torch‘s All Alone; a song that can aptly be classified as rhythm-and-blues fused with soul. Followers of Torch and his music will be pleasantly surprised by this one!
