Have You Seen Ginjah’s Latest Video, “These Arms”? (@GINJAHMUSIC @Tadsrecord)

Posted on October 1, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Earlier in the year, the reggae soul-man Ginjah, in collaboration with Tad’s Record Inc., gave the public a pulsating lovers-rock reggae tune called These Arms. Produced by Kirk Bennett, Wrong Move and Valentine ‘Ginjah’ Fraser, These Arms has been a consistent feature on reggae platforms since it was first shared in February.

Approximately one month ago – on August 26th – Tad’s Record released the official video, which was directed, shot and edited by Kenny Gray and his production team in Queens, New York. The simple, yet beautiful visuals show Ginjah pouring out his heart to his love interest while holding her in his arms.

A contented Ginjah sums up the video as follows: “I think it’s a beautiful video, simple and effective. The ladies love it. The feedback is amazing… reggae lovers from all over the world giving it their thumps up.”

He went on to say: “I want to thank Tad’s Record for doing a tremendous job on promoting this piece, because without promotion a song is just a song. Also want thank Johann Dawes from Hype TV for playing this video night and day…”

These Arms is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and all other music platforms.

Like many live events all over the world, Rebel Salute was impacted by the pandemic, which basically meant that the show could not go on, as it encouraged large gatherings. Instead, a scaled down digital version was attempted.
