The latest release from the Big Feet Records camp is Nobody Care; a bouncy reggae tune performed by veteran roots artist Anthony B. Both the song and its lyric video went live on all music platforms earlier today: Friday, September 16; and as such, can now be streamed and downloaded worldwide.
On the record Anthony laments on the unfortunate state of the world; a world where everyone seems more concerned about what they can gain as oppose to what they can give. The Rastafarian sing-jay also issues a warning to his listeners, advising them to be careful of everyone, even friend and family.
Nobody Care was produced by Josh Harris exclusively for Big Feet Records. He played both bass and keyboards, while Santa Davis played the drums, with Jallanzo on lead guitar. It was harmonized by veteran vocalist Nikki Burt; mixed by Tommi Tikkanen and mastered by Earle Holder.
