Etana Premieres New Music Video for “Reggae”
ETANA’S LATEST VISUAL FOR “REGGAE”
The Brand New Video Premieres and Featured on Her Latest Album Better Tomorrow
Etana releases her brand new video for the contagious single “Reggae” off of her most recent effort Better Tomorrow. The latest visual, directed by Kerrin McLean, was shot in Kingston, Jamaica at music landmarks including the iconic Marley-owned Tuff Gong Studios, Rockers International record shop and Kingston Dub Club.
“Reggae” is the first single off her critically acclaimed third studio album Better Tomorrow on VP Records. Her latest effort is a true testament to her evolved sound. Etana’s indomitable spirit and inspiring songwriting uplifts generations both old and new. Stylistically, Better Tomorrow is a marked departure from her previous material, including The Strong One (2008) and Free Expressions (2011). Instead of incorporating Jamaica’s popular digital riddims, she chose to be backed by all live instrumentation.
“I wanted this album to feel like a concert performance and have everything go together, like chapters in a book, with all of the tracks played live by musicians (not digitally generated),” Etana explained.
The album’s primary producer, Shane C. Brown of Kingston’s Juke Boxx Productions, and Stanley “Rellee” Hayden of A-Team executed her vision. She recorded all fourteen tracks at Kingston’s legendary Tuff Gong Studios with Jamaica’s finest modern-day musicians – including saxophonist Dean Fraser, guitarist Lamont Savory, keyboarist Kevon Webster, drummer Kirk Bennett, bassist Aeion Hoilett and percussionist Uziah “Sticky” Thompson.
