“A foot-tapping, head-nodding blend of reggae & hip hop with a heartfelt message to those that didn’t pay attention the first time around. ‘Nevermind’ by ‘Buku’ has that Mega Hit, always on the radio kind of feel & polished production. This is going to be a biggy – You heard it here first.”

Nevermind Me is a smash hit by Buku Wise that reminds those who didn’t take noticed before but now the tables have shifted. Great Song
“Roots Reggae with a liberal helping of rock rhythms and melodious vocals. Nathan Harrington and the band switching between vibes with a slick intoxicating finesse. ‘Sleeping On Your Side’ is a high energy song about a toxic love affair that will have the dance floor filled in no time.”
-Nagamag.com
"We’ve all had those toxic relationships where you make excuses for your other, not realizing the drain and fatigue it puts on your mind, body and spirit until it’s too late. ‘SOYS’ is a song that takes you through one of these relationships, the highs and lows of a break up. But ends with clarity being restored. It’s never easy going through a breakup, especially when there was so much love. But you can’t hang on to a feeling that has faded.”

With a sound that is uniquely his own, Nathan Harrington combines elements of Roots and Reggae to bring a bold and captivating sound to life. Deeply influenced by artists like Black Uruhu, Steel Pulse, Bob Marley, and Toots & the Maytals, his musical inspiration helps to hone his tone while contemporary influences like Rebelution and Slightly Stoopid point him towards the next generation of CaliRoots artists. “The music I make is meant to heal people. Reggae holds a high vibration, and I believe it can pull people away from the darkness,” shares Harrington.
Creating a new wave of sound, when it comes to songwriting, living is Nathan’s biggest intrigue. Whether it’s exploring nature on a hike, surfing the sea, or channeling meditation, it’s what truly inspires home to open and his eyes and see, and his ears to hear. Aside from singing, Nathan plays instruments such as guitar, bass, piano, ukulele, and percussion. He’s shared the bill with artists such as Jacob Collier, 2 Chains, Shawn Mendes, Sabrina Carpenter and Jed’s A Millionaire to name a few. Nathan has also been in numerous modeling campaigns and was cast in Jordan Peele’s movie “US”.
“Melodious work with transitions that can warm the soul. The pleasant voice of -Jesse Royal- awakens some very vivid emotions. Song suitable for romance of a different nature; whether it’s sun-drenched beaches or incandescent ambient street light lamps in front of your favourite window.”
“Мелодичные и согревающие душу музыкальные переходы, приятный голосом -Jesse Royal- дарит в совокупности очень яркие эмоции. Песня подходящая для романтики самого разного характера; будь то залитые солнцем раскалённые пляжи или рассеянный свет уличных фонарей напротив любимого окна.”

Jesse Royal releases the music video for “Rich Forever” featuring dancehall’s self-proclaimed “World Boss” Vybz Kartel. The latest single from his anticipated second album Royal, out June 11, 2021 via Easy Star Records, carries the message that riches do not only reside in physical objects, but in hard work and faith.

Directed by Xtreme Arts, the video portrays Jesse Royal as King Midas, where he turns rags to riches through his touch. Xtreme explains, “We both collectively with Romeich came up with the concept of the Midas touch. Midas touch is simply uplifting someone’s life with a single touch. Everyone deserves to look and feel like they are the best at their job or who they are as a person. We all are rich in some way, not just money but mostly, in love.”
Jesse explains “the song is a conversation about the restoration of our royalty, reclaiming dignity. We must always be our brothers’ keeper and you don’t leave your brother in the mud. You remind your brother of who he is, not who they tell him to be, not who he sometimes might want to be. But who he is! We are all carefully crafted creatures of the universe and there’s nothing that can hold us back. We’re rich forever.”
The video was shot in the hills of Kingston, Jamaica and features cameos from dancehall star Popcaan and reggae contemporary Protoje, who is also featured on “LionOrder” from Jesse’s upcoming album.

Sit down, be quiet! Above all, the school system ensures that the citizens of society are educated to a homogeneous mass. There are benefits to the system but does a monologue from a textbook develop thinking individuals in the classroom? Anyone who questions prevailing norms risks being classified as messy and deviant. Silent Nancy will never keep quiet, the second single from this duo offers cool reggae, Katie Burke's fantastic voice, some soul, hip hop and a lot of joy!

“The new song of -Jesse Royal and Stonebwoy-, creates a unique atmosphere with its melted carefree rhythm of reggae. Such a release proves once again that good music is a special kind of art for the ears and soul too.”
“Уникальная песня от -Jesse Royal и Stonebwoy-, с не менее уникальной атмосферой, в которой плавится размеренный ритм беззаботного регги. Подобный релиз в очередной раз доказывает, что делать музыку для души тоже, что и создавать искусство.”

Jesse Royal teams up with Ghanaian Afrobeat/Dancehall star Stonebwoy for “Dirty Money,” where a lilting African-influenced rhythm track propels the lyrics’ unrelenting condemnation of political greed: “If education is key, why you can’t make it free for we? Or is it because you profit from poverty? When you look at me do you see a man or do you see another vote for your party? Not even holy water can clean your dirty money.”

The track is the latest single and fourth release from Royal’s upcoming sophomore album, Royal, due to come out June 11 via Easy Star Records. The single follows "Rich Forever" which had an accompanying video premiered by The FADER this week. The new song “Dirty Money” features a cross-cultural beat, co-produced by Grammy-award winning producer Sean Alaric (responsible for Koffee’s “Throne” and Teyana Taylor’s “Bad”) and Jesse himself and captures the sounds of Jamaica and Africa.
The album title Royal describes the quality of music he’s making but also offers a succinct definition of Jamaica’s signature beat. “Reggae is a different tone, a different feeling, a different mood. It speaks to you in different ways, it is definitely royal music,” says Jesse. Jesse adopted a new approach for creating the songs on Royal, collaborating with like-minded colleagues and just letting the creativity flow. The result is 11 tracks that incorporate live instrumentation and programmed riffs, experimental and traditional sounds, all of which contribute to Jesse’s most impressive body of work to date. The messages delivered throughout Royal are militant yet divinely inspired, profoundly moving and politically provocative, while the album’s multi-textured sonics are rooted in reggae but also incorporate a 21st century burnished palette of influences.

“Very fresh and sweet work. Reggae style with melodious instrumental sound and vocals closely related to the overall structure of the song. It creates an impression of relaxation with warm sound, causing a dreamy mood.”
“Очень свежая, как глоток чистой воды, работа. В рамках жанра регги партии всех инструментов звучат мелодично, вокал плотно связан с общей структурой песни. Создаётся общее впечатление расслабленности, тёплого звучания, вызывающее мечтательное настроение.”

“Honey” is from Gentleman’s Dub Club’s latest album, Down To Earth, and was praised by Brooklyn Vegan, which gushed, “UK crew Gentleman’s Dub Club tapped the great Hollie Cook for this summery jam and when her harmonies hit this is ‘Honey’ indeed.”
https://lnk.bio/N4fx
The video literally drips with sweetness. Toby Davies from the band states, “Honey is about the lure of attraction and the sweetness of that sensation mixed in with the dangers of being essentially addicted to a person, even if you are heading down a self-destructive path.”
https://www.facebook.com/gentlemansdubclub
The video is directed by London based creative production company We Are Tobin (Toby Rothwell and Martin Jarrett). GDC and We Are Tobin have a successful track record together, so it made sense to rekindle the magic for “Honey.” Toby Davies explains, “We were looking for someone to work on the ‘Stardust’ music video – Martin was introduced to us by an old friend and photographer / video pro Oli Samuel, who came on tour with us a few years back. We wanted it to be visually very psychedelic without breaking the bank using CGI. Martin and Toby (We are Tobin) came back to us with some amazing ideas centered around using a projector to create crazy visuals on Johnny’s silhouette as he performed. It came out unbelievably well! From that point onwards they were our first port of call for video work and we ended up doing the ‘Light The Fuse’ video – a mad sort of post-apocalyptic thriller featuring a chip shop, a kidnapping, and a portal to another world – and now the ‘Honey’ video.”
https://www.wearetobin.com
The end result is another creative, engaging, and visually stunning video. The band concludes, “Working with We Are Tobin is an absolute dream: they are extremely creative, versatile people and are willing to go the extra mile to make their videos stand out. They are very adept at understanding concepts and putting them into practice in a pragmatic and fun way. Big up Mart and Toby!!”

“An interesting track with an undeniably firm grounding in traditional Reggae roots, especially with the flowing rhythmic vibe. There is also a strong melodic rock influence most noticeable in the mellow guitar passages and a hint of country in the tuneful harmony male, female vocals.”

“We must pay tribute to the creator of -Panthers- track. He has made a spiritual work, from which may result some harmony for the body and soul. A great opportunity to relax and clean your mind from any thoughts for the next five minutes.”
“Нужно отдать должное авторам трека -Panthers-, у них вышла очень душевная работа, от которой так и веет беззаботностью, гармонией души и тела. Прекрасная возможность расслабиться и не думать ни о чём хотя бы пять минут.”
