A estrela de reggae e dancehall Barrington Levy diz que já rejeitou propostas para gravar em riddims de Afrobeats, uma vez que nunca irá trocar de géneros musicais.
O cantor esteve a discutir o seu novo álbum e os planos para este ano, numa entrevista à Television Jamaica.
“I am focusing right now on my new album for 2023. But I still want to make it the original Reggae vibes that people love me for. These nowadays people trying to move over to Afrobeats – because people do come to me and say ‘mi have a Afrobeats (riddim), yuh want it’ and I say ‘no’”, revelou Levy ao jornalista Anthony Miller.
“Why would I switch from my original Dancehall music to Afrobeats weh is our Reggae music they try to copy; our pattern on how they make their ting. So I am keeping it real with my original Reggae music”, acrescentou.
