A few days ago, on February 9th, Reggae Vibes Music released the Natural Vibes Riddim, which features Busy Signal, Jah Cure, Turbulence, Pressure Busspipe, Powerman, Lutan Fyah, Kurtiouss, Jay Shephard, Rufftop Rock I, and Ginjah. The team is now following up with the official video for Jah Cure‘s tune, “How Can I Explain”.

The visuals, which were captured in downtown Kingston and at Hope Gardens, went live on Cure‘s YouTube channel on February 22nd. Produced by Lonewolf Filmz, and conceptualized by both Reggae Vibes‘ CEO Marlon Folkes and Mario Allen of Lonewolf Filmz, the two minutes and fifty-five seconds clip tells the tale of a man who pursues his love interest by dancing for her. 

Needless to say, Jah Cure is not in the video. However, Ashmay and Steven, the two actors and dancers who starred in the mini-film, performed impeccably. The complimentary remarks from Jah Cure‘s many fans and supporters, seen in the comments section, confirm as much.

The Natural Vibes Riddim is available on Apple Music, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and all other streaming platforms, while the official music video for Jah Cure‘s How Can I Explain can be viewed on YouTube.
