Bob Marley’s legacy continues to
flourish after grandson Skip Marley,
the newest rising star of the family,
announced the release of his new
single to encouraging reviews from
popular music publications.
Skip Marley, son of Cedella Marley,
released a new single titled “Slow
Down” with two-time 2019 Grammy
Award-winning artist H.E.R. via Tuff
Gong / Island Records on Friday Nov.
8.
The laid-back song, “Slow Down,”
captures the tale of a budding relationship
and has been described as
having a modern R&B twist to a classic
reggae-style one-drop rhythm with
a thumping bass.
“I want to see you tomorrow. Not
just the thrill of today. Don’t let our
love just be borrowed. No this is the
choice that we take” sang Marley, as
the song resonates a sultry yet soothing
flirtatious energy between the two
singers.
“This kind of love don’t come
around like this. I’m not one to play
around like this, it’s so real. And I love
how it feels,” sings H.E.R., considered
one of modern R&B’s most fascinating
new talents.
The chemistry between Skip and
H.E.R. was on full display in a live
premier performance at H.E.R and
Lauryn Hill’s historic Hollywood Bowl
concert last month.
Skip, the Jamaican born who was
raised in Miami, Florida, is releasing
his new single as a precursor
to his much-anticipated forthcoming
