Veteran reggae artist Flourgon recently collaborated with emerging vocalist Mesha Steele on a new single called Touch Di Road. The song is one of fourteen featured on the West Bound Cruise Riddim, released at the end of June by 29 West Record. 

Touch Di Road is a laidback lovers-rock reggae tune on which both artists go back-and-forth saying how they feel in the moment and what they would like to do. The combination of their individual styles, Flourgon‘s deep bassie voice and Mesha‘s silky smooth vocals, stand in contrast and really add an indescribable dulcet tone to the track. Furthermore, on a compilation that has songs performed by the likes of Beres Hammond, Anthony Red Rose, Lymie Murray, etc., it speaks volumes that Touch Di Road is breaking out and captivating listeners far and wide.  

As both artists continue to traverse across the U.S. doing their respective shows and promoting the song, Touch Di Road‘s rotation on reggae media (traditional and new) has increased. It’s now becoming a constant feature on reggae playlists and platforms. This and all songs on the West Bound Cruise Riddim can be streamed and downloaded from all digital music stores.
