Of all the Jamaican artists to put the spotlight on, you choose this one?
I get appeal of the Vintage “Studio 1″ sound, but there are so many other artists in Jamaica who do it better.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT GORGEOUS SOUND FROM THE PICK UP NOTES OF THE INTRO. VERY NICE HARMONIES ON “THERE’S NO HOLIDAY” PART. HIS RANGE IS AMAZING CONSIDERING HE IS NOT USING HIS FALSETTO THAT IS HIS FULL VOICE.
love this…what do the comments mean before…about “all the artistes in Jamaica u pick this?” Your musical mind is sooo closed…newho i love the song and the cover art…it is dope…i wonder who the designer is? Angel could u find out?
FYI…Motown meets Reggae is Ska…get into to it. This is how Bob Marley and the Wailers tailored their sound to appeal to the African American music market in the 60′s. Know your roots.
love the retro style bring forward many great memories & the sounds definitely reminds me of the steel horns carefully positioned in the trees in the lawns (dance hall) the days when stringing up a sound system really meant stringing up a sound no speaker wires on the ground.
Always happy to see quality reggae artists getting some shine.Very nice song and voice. Courtney John is a legendary songwriter/producer in Jamaica and he can sing, that’s a rarity these days. Thanks J. and Concrete Loop for the highlight!
Wicked Track!!
Video is just as sweet.its on VH1 soul!!
Thank you Concrete Loop for finally putting up fresh new reggae acts that are not only dancehall!!
GROWING UP LISTENING TO GOOD MUSIC, ALLOWS YOU THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE GOOD MUSIC. LUCKY MAN IS. IT TAKES ME BACK TO WHEN THE SOUND STRING UP IN THE DANCEHALL AND THE SOUNDS OF SKA PERMEATES THE AIR. AAHH. THANKS FOR TAKING ME BACK CJ.
MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT.
This is HOT, sounds like old Studio One records.
Dang can’t listen to it… At work… boooooooo … Ill come and comment back later.
Nice, he’s not gonna blow up here in the US with songs like that though.
It’s okay.
This is hot, the youngin’s won’t get it but this is good…

Although his voice is a little too soft for my taste. I liked the song, nice vibe and goes back to the days of easy listening reggae.
