The Green officially marks their high-energy return to the forefront of the scene with “Feelings”," their most infectious and rhythmically driven single since the chart-topping success of MARCHING ORDERS. After a brief hiatus following their "My Hawai'i" charity single, the band teamed up with acclaimed Brooklyn producer Ricky Blaze to craft a track that seamlessly blends modern dancehall energy with the soulful roots-pop foundation they've built over the last decade. From the label's perspective, this release is a bold statement of evolution, showcasing a sleeker, high-gloss production that maintains the authentic island spirit their global fanbase has come to adore.
Collaboration has always been at the heart of the Easy Star family, and “Feelings” serves as a masterclass in these deep-rooted connections. Featuring long-time friend and powerhouse J Boog—who remains a cornerstone of our Pacific-reggae catalog—alongside the legendary Jamaican superstar Gyptian, the track bridges the gap between Honolulu, New York, and Kingston. This synergy echoes the collaborative spirit found across the Easy Star roster, linking the "Island Reggae" movement directly to its Caribbean roots and reinforcing the label's commitment to pushing the genre's global boundaries.
As the lead vanguard for their sixth studio album, BRAND NEW EYES, “Feelings” sets a high bar for the band's current era, standing tall alongside fellow singles like “Recipe” and “Coming Home”. It builds upon the stripped-back intimacy of their Black & White acoustic sessions while leaning into a bold, forward-thinking sonic direction. For Easy Star, this release represents the vibrant pulse of a band that continues to lead the American reggae movement, proving once again why The Green remains an essential pillar of our label's history.
