Digital Single – OUT NOW
Multi-platinum recording artist Rayvon has teamed up with the reigning ‘King of Conscious Reggae’ Luciano and international dancehall artist Sugar Bear.
Written by Rayvon, the single was inspired by Sugar Bear and two time Grammy nominated Michael Prochilo’s fantastic one-drop Peace Riddim.
“Thank God for the natural mystic and inspirational guidance to make this song. I hope the world heeds the message.” says Sugar Bear.
The all-star cast came together under the dancehall icon Shaggy’s musical director Shaun Darson, with saxophonist Dean Fraser and Michael Richards on Bass. The song has been mixed by Shane Brown, son of Errol Brown who famously recorded and mixed albums with Bob Marley & The Wailers, Burning Spear and Third World.
The lyrics quote Judy Garland ‘Be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of somebody else.’ No matter the ups and downs in life, be at least your authentic self.
Rayvon explains, “We all have ups and downs, and they say love conquers all. Love brings peace, peace brings love. If we add understanding to it, we have created a winning formula to succeed in the game of life.”
Peace, Love & Understanding is released on Rayvon’s independent label GTC Entertainment and is distributed by Tuff Gong International.
