Greetings ReggaeJAHM!!
Last night my man and I were chillin in the house, kids in bed and just looking to relax on a Saturday night. had made this great post across the world from me in Japan, just sharing his heart and doing so in a way that resonated with both of us here in the Appalachians.
As I recently mentioned I am really digging for new reggae music that touches me like the classics, and my creator has heard my request.
I was unfamiliar with Leno Banton but he put out a new video this weekend less than a day before I saw it, which popped up as a suggestion on the youtube.
My brothers and sisters, I am very excited to share this song with you. It's called Reborn and it touches all the right places in what we all are going through right now in these times of uncertainty and struggle.
The whole song is heartfelt, and full of self-reflection on the past year of hardships and looking to move forward in transformative ways. The melodic flow of his rhymes along with the musical sound invokes peace and balance, and in the heavy hearts we all are working to lighten especially.
Here's just a few of the lyrics:
"...sometime getting on my feelings, cause life be so unfair for it..."
"...you get a lot of shit when you future that bright but God keep me upright, the breeze to the kite..."
"...wait til you see me transform, 2021, from the cocoon reborn..."
"..shoot for the stars my bro, make your best moves my sis.."
"...detach myself from anything that no longer serve me..."
You can listen on spotify here:

The video is nice too, its real and not all the glitz and glamour. Leno is showing his true self and his own life and that really appeals to me as well.
It's gonna be one of my irie jams from now til I can no longer hear.
