This song is the flipside to a song like differentology, Lea-Anna’s new song is a gorgeous reggae tinged love song. Lea-Anna expresses her desire for a certain someone to find her love. It’s fantastic in it’s way that it’s restrained. The vocals and instrumental find space and compliment each other well (the song is produced by her frequent collaborator Wundah). Not sure when this is coming out but make sure you keep an eye out for it.

Kazabon & Hootie Who Live At HDD April 13th by Hipsters Dont Dance on Mixcloud
You may know Douster from his popular King of Africa or his Dagga remix of Busy Signal’s Da Style Deh but like a lot of the producers we love, he has a love and appreciation for dancehall which is clear in his latest EP on Mixpak Inna Style n Fashion. Not only does the release have the best Artwork we have seen in a while it has everything you need for your summer soundtrack.
Wine is one of our favourites on the EP due to that demanding intro followed by Cee Gee willing you to ‘make love to the concrete‘ and Douster’s clever sampling – phone interference never sounded so good!
Like Gyptian’s Hold Yuh and Mavado’s Never Believe You, Wine Like a Genie has piano keys that make you fall in love with it. Dancehall tunes built on piano keys are winners in our book and Like A Genie can now be added to this category. You will be singing this one all summer.
Kantana reminds us a little of Gappy Ranks on Dollar Sign, his vocal over the rolling guitar riff and dancehall stabs make it dancefloor-ready and Keida adds the feminine touch to the EP on Never Lose. Listen to the EP below or buy it from Juno, iTunes or Boomkat
