In early February, Danger Zone Music Group released the Reggae Lover Riddim, which features new songs from some of the biggest artists in the reggae – dancehall industry: Jah Vinci, Louie Culture, Romain Virgo etc. Despite all the heavy hitters on the project, it’s Nadine Sutherland‘s single, “Chatty Chatty,” that has emerged as the standout track on this album.
The song began getting steady rotation the minute it came out and has gradually grown to a now trending status. A few days ago Sutherland dropped the official music video, which means that the record will continue to surge.
