JahRiffe Celebrates His “Twin Flame” With New Reggae Single

Boston based reggae artist JahRiffe, who is also the lead singer of the Jah-N-I Roots band, has given us a unique love song called Twin Flame. Inspired by the relationship he has with his wife, the track gives listeners a glimpse of the inexplicable spiritual and physical connection they share. 

Although JahRiffe is an amazing songwriter, what he was not able to fit on the three-minutes and three-seconds reggae tune, is that he and his life partner does not subscribe to arguing as a way to solve problems. Instead, their partnership is rooted in their predilection for divine principles, which does not see arguing as a method of resolving disagreements. Also, prior to their current union, they were both in emotionally harmful situations that stunted their growth. That said, those experiences have taught them how to truly love themselves and appreciate each other.

When asked what he would like listeners to take away from Twin FlameJahRiffe said the following: “I would like the listener to take away that there is a connection amongst all of us that is real whether it is a spouse, good friend or our siblings. We are all here on a journey and everything is aligned in a divine timing governed by the law of love.”

Twin Flame was produced by David ‘JAH David’ Goldfine. He played the drums, bass, percussion, lead keyboard, and lead guitar. Rhythm guitar and additional keys were played by Laurent ‘Tippy I’ Alfred, and Ruel Klyve Moncrieffe added the backing vocals. 

Twin Flame is beautiful, soothing, and relaxing. This song should be on every reggae lovers playlist. Download it now from iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and all other streaming platforms.
