MORTIMER’S ELECTRIC NEW SINGLE LIGHTNING IS OUT!
Rising reggae star Mortimer returns with a new single, “Lightning,” released with top producer Winta James’s Overstand Entertainment. "Lightning" is a classic down-tempo reggae love song with a modern update. With a sparse rhythm section featuring a live Hammond organ and rhythm guitar, joined later by live steel guitar, horns, and synthesizers, Mortimer simultaneously pushes the genre and the song forward, building to a passionate crescendo. A love song for the ages, Mortimer sings his way straight into hearts in a silky falsetto with his romantic, heart-felt lyrics. Mortimer’s previous single for Overstand/Easy Star was the propulsive “Careful,” which [...]

SOULFUL SINGER SEVANA DEBUTS HER BRAND NEW SINGLE “NOBODY MAN”
On this bubbly, energetic track, Sevana is changing the narrative by not giving into stereotypes of disrupting relationships. Sevana effortlessly flows between her soaring vocals and bold Jamaican patois, blending traditional R&B/soul that inspires her sound and the Caribbean’s tropical percussive rhythms she was raised on. Following her 2018 anthem "Sometime Love," Sevana passionately delivers yet another powerful statement through her new single "Nobody Man," produced by JLL.

"'Nobody Man' challenges the narrative of 'tek a gyal man,' which is essentially a braggadocio culture around [...]
