The Marley family has a remarkable musical history, I’m sure we can all agree that the apple most certainly didn’t fall far from the tree, as the musical gene most recently brought success to one of Bob and Rita’s grandchildren, Skip Marley, son of Cedella Marley, who happens to be Jamaican born but was raised in Miami Florida.
Skip Marley recently released his newest single titled “Slow down” with ten-time nominated, two-time 2019 Grammy award-winning sensation H.E.R. The vibe, melody, and chemistry that comes from the song is replicated in the video and gives this nostalgic feeling that somehow reminds you of a collaboration his grandfather did with Lauryn Hill, “Turn your lights down low.”
“Slow down”, took the #1 spot on the Billboard Adult R&B chart and Mediabase Urban AC (Adult contemporary). The song nets over 44 million global streams and the fastest streaming song in the Marley family history. Skip has been dubbed the first Jamaican-born artist in almost 15 years to achieve such an honour. The word on almost everyone’s lips is how captivating the chemistry between Skip and H.E.R was, both on the track and the music video. Shot in Harlem NY, the visual representation of the video matched the musical vibe of the two which quickly gained 12 million views on Youtube.
“I wanna see you tomorrow, not just the thrill of today” a popular line from the #1 hit “Slow down”, can be compared to the positive attitude he has towards music and the fact that he isn’t focused on being a musical prodigy for a day but an icon, the impactful force that fuses the elements of music.
Skip is set to release his most anticipated project this year, and based on the work he’s done so far; it promises to be an insightful one.
