Now that she has gotten some time off from touring, Belizean-American reggae artist Mesha Steele is turning her attention to putting out original music. In the coming weeks she will share two brand-new songs and the remastered version of a previously released record.

First up will be “My Love,” a song recorded many years ago for Montreal-based reggae imprint Buckley’s Music. It will be published on November 1st on a rhythm that also features Ken Boothe and Glen Washington. “My Love” will be followed by the remastered version of “Ghetto Blues.” This song and its official video were initially shared in 2019, but due to some administrative error, it only remained visible on streaming platforms for a few months. It has now been enhanced and will be back online on November 25th. 

The final song in this series is “Can’t Let You Go (Feeling It).” Unfortunately, an exact release date has not yet been finalized for this track; however, Mesha and her team are confident that it will be available to the public in a matter of days. While we await the foregoing tunes, Mesha Steele continues to promote her recent collaboration with veteran reggae artist Flourgon, “Touch Di Road.” It’s presented on the West Bound Cruise Riddim EP, released in late June.
