Local singing sensation, Dinho Da Rasta Man, who is known for his captivating live shows, especially those done on the tourist circuit in Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios, has just released a stunning new single called “Fallen For You.”
The lovers-rock reggae track, which was produced by Steve Golding and Horace James—the powerhouse duo behind the imprint J&G Tracks—went live on streaming platforms on March 7th, 2025. It should be noted that Steve Golding is known for his works with the likes of Fab5, Peter Tosh, Israel Vibration, and other accomplished musical brands. While Horace James, who is credited for mixing “Fallen For You,” is an actual member of Israel Vibration‘s backing band. What’s more, “Fallen For You” was mastered by famed engineer/producer Delroy “Fatta” Pottinger.
Interestingly, this song was inspired by real-life events as outlined by a member of Dinho Da Rasta Man‘s team below.
“Back in 2021, Dinho was doing a video shoot for a single titled Cherish. He was promised that a female model would be at the video shoot; however, when he got to the location, the female didn’t show up. So he immediately got in a cab and went to Mandeville Square to find a replacement. As the cab stopped and he opened the car door, he saw a beautiful female whom he approached and asked if she could be a model in his video. Luckily for Dinho Da Rasta Man, the young lady’s mother was also present, so he asked her mother, who said yes, and even commented that Dinho looks handsome. So in that moment he won the hearts of both the female and her mother.”
An official music video for “Fallen For You” was to be shared on Valentine’s Day, but it was delayed because the distribution company is planning a worldwide release. While we await the visual, the audio is available for download on all major digital music stores courtesy of World Universal Records.
