Powered by U.S. based roots-reggae label, Big Feet Records, Pam Hall‘s new single – Cool Breeze – is now out on all streaming platforms.
Cool Breeze is a laid back reggae track that does several things to its listeners. It relaxes, inspires and entertains.
Penned by songwriter Willow, with direction from the project’s producer Josh Harris, Cool Breeze encourages the hearer not to give up, by emphasizing the fact that once there is life there is hope (paraphrasing). And although the message is motivational – a word often associated with taking action – there is a certain level of calmness in the way that it was sung, making it both soothing and enthralling.
The music video was also published along with the audio. It premiered on Reggaeville’s YouTube channel on Friday, November 3rd, which is the project’s official release date.
Cool Breeze credits are as follows: vocals (lead and harmony) done by Pam Hall; bass, keyboard, and samples by Josh Harris; drums by Santa Davis; Guitar by Jallanzo; mixed by Tommi Tikkenen; and mastered by Earle Holder.
Treat yourself by downloading this amazing record from your preferred music platform: iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc.
