GRAMMY-winning artist and founding member of Morgan Heritage, Mojo Morgan, has released his anthemic new single “Dreams,” announcing his long-awaited EP “Jamaica Love” for Aug. 29.
Jamaican entertainment publicist Samantha LaPare told Caribbean Life on Monday, July 28, that Mojo’s “genre-blending single ‘Dreams‘ is a song for every hustler, every survivor, and soul who refuses to settle.
“Motivational, soulful and uplifting, it’s a declaration that your dreams are valid, no matter where you come from or what you’ve been told,“ she added.
LaPare said Mojo, who was born in Brooklyn and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts, coined his sound as “Rasta Rock,“ a fusion shaped by the lyrical depth of Bob Dylan and Peter Tosh, the raw spirit of 2Pac and Vybz Kartel, and the emotional textures of Coldplay, The Cranberries, and Phil Collins.
“It’s a lane of his own, global, grounded, and full of heart,“ LaPare said.
Rooted in reggae but infused with country, Americana, and global rhythms, she also said Mojo’s upcoming EP “Jamaica Love“ is a “deeply personal project that honors his (Mojo’s) homeland, his family legacy, and especially the memory of his late brother and bandmate, Peetah Morgan.
“Not only does the EP blend genres, but generations into a timeless sound with no borders featuring collaborations with Gramps Morgan, Popcaan, Sizzla, Maino, Chronic Law, and Mojo’s own children and nephew, making it as much a family celebration as it is a cultural statement,“ she added.
Co-produced by dancehall super producer Droptop, LaPare said, “‘ Dreams‘ fuses reggae, rock and inspirational energy in a fresh yet familiar way.“
Droptop, founder of Droptop Records, said, “Working with Mojo on this record was powerful.
“‘Dreams‘ isn’t just a song; it’s a soundtrack for anyone on the grind,“ he said. “Coming off recent hits with Popcaan, Skeng, and Chronic Law, I wanted to bring that same energy to something more uplifting. This one’s for the streets and the soul.”
Mojo said, “‘ Jamaica Love‘ is more than music; it’s a message.
“It’s legacy, healing, and the soundtrack for anyone who’s ever had to fight for their dream,“ he added.
