A few days ago, on February 9th, Reggae Vibes Music released the Natural Vibes Riddim, which features Busy Signal, Jah Cure, Turbulence, Pressure Busspipe, Powerman, Lutan Fyah, Kurtiouss, Jay Shephard, Rufftop Rock I, and Ginjah. The team is now following up with the official video for Jah Cure‘s tune, “How Can I Explain”.
The visuals, which were captured in downtown Kingston and at Hope Gardens, went live on Cure‘s YouTube channel on February 22nd. Produced by Lonewolf Filmz, and conceptualized by both Reggae Vibes‘ CEO Marlon Folkes and Mario Allen of Lonewolf Filmz, the two minutes and fifty-five seconds clip tells the tale of a man who pursues his love interest by dancing for her.
Needless to say, Jah Cure is not in the video. However, Ashmay and Steven, the two actors and dancers who starred in the mini-film, performed impeccably. The complimentary remarks from Jah Cure‘s many fans and supporters, seen in the comments section, confirm as much.
The Natural Vibes Riddim is available on Apple Music, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and all other streaming platforms, while the official music video for Jah Cure‘s How Can I Explain can be viewed on YouTube.
Recording artist Miriam Simone, who in 2018 began hosting a popular reggae radio program in Amsterdam, is heading back to broadcasting! The Rastafarian roots vocalist will return to the Sweet Meditation show, which airs on Caribbean 107.9 FM, this coming Monday, February 26th. Persons residing outside of The Netherlands are invited to listen online via Radio Rakoki.
As it relates to what listeners can expect, Simone said the following: “after a lot of reggae music, interviews, history and teachings of his majesty shared on earlier episodes it’s time go upward with sweet meditation. Introducing you to “the higher chambers”. I am ready to dive in to the mathematics of the flower of life.”
Doing her radio show will not halt or limit in anyway the promotion of her single, Stop The Shooting, as it will be featured on an upcoming EP being worked on by Paul Scott of Sound System Club Ltd. Stop The Shooting can be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon, and all other digital music platforms.
