“‘Jane’ is really about finding that thing in your life to keep you balanced and free from stress. It was a good common ground for Ayra and I to instantly connect and set the vibe.” – Skip Marley
The newest single out now by Skip Marley “Jane” features Nigerian-based Afropop sensation Ayra Starr. The irresistible song features Skip’s smooth R&B vocals that are perfectly accompanied by Ayra’s silky, soulful range and vocal stylings. Capturing the contemporary sounds of afrobeat and R&B, the the single was produced by Rykeyz, who also produced Skip’s #1 RIAA Gold certified single ‘Slow Down’ with H.E.R., as well as hit songs by Jessie Reyez, Ari Lennox, Demi Lovato, and Rick Ross, among others. The new song comes with an official music video, watch above, and was directed by Mid Jordan, featuring both Marley and Starr.
We definitely have this song on repeat going into this Labor Day Weekend!
