Lutan Fyah Seems Fed Up With The “Bla Bla Bla”

One of reggae’s best songwriters, Lutan Fyah, has once again delivered a stunning record! His latest is a bouncy reggae tune called Bla Bla Bla, done in collaboration with Derrick Sound from Geneva, Switzerland.

It is difficult to effectively describe this song and the vibe it gives off without falling short. So I will instead insist that all reggae lovers check it out, especially if you have a preference for music with an intelligent message.
