Jamaica’s king of country-reggae music, Wesrok, who is of Indian decent, has gotten one of his biggest songs – Perfectly Imperfect – reworked by popular Bangladesh / Dubai based music producer and selector, DJ AKS.
The original version of Perfectly Imperfect was initially shared in January of this year, with the official video following months later in May. It has wracked up thousands of streams across various platforms, so much so that it became the ideal candidate for a remix. Through one of his booking agents in the United States, Wesrok and his team were introduced to AKS who jumped at the opportunity to work with the fast-rising singer.
To his credit, DJ AKS has also done both original and remakes, with and for: Enrique Iglesias, Big Mountain, Neha Kakkar, Pakistani band JAL, DJ Suketu, Miles, Mehreen, Mila, and Parvaz Sazzad. Perfectly Imperfect (AKS Remix) was released on October 27th, and has been on an upward trend on all streaming platforms since it came out.
In the following statement, a spokesperson for Wesrok elaborated on what inspired this brand-new mix: “we decided to do a remix because of the acceptance of Perfectly Imperfect across the international scene. So it was felt that we could change the beat of that song to suit the Indian Market.” She also added that while they’re promoting this new record, Wesrok is simultaneously working on a collaborative single with dancehall artist Busy Signal, which they plan to share in January, 2024.
