BUSY SIGNAL UNVEILS CAPTIVATING DANCEHALL SINGLE, "SOME PEOPLE" – A RESONATING TALE OF BADMIND AND ENVY.
PRODUCED BY: DJ KARIM FOR STAINLESS MUSIC [KINGSTON JAMAICA, OCTOBER 27TH 2023]
RENOWNED DANCEHALL ARTIST BUSY SIGNAL IS BACK WITH AN ELECTRIFYING NEW RELEASE, "SOME PEOPLE" A RIVETING ANTHEM THAT DELVES INTO THE TREACHEROUS WORLD OF BADMIND, GRUDGE AND ENVY. THIS COMPELLING SINGLE IS SET TO TAKE THE MUSIC SCENE BY STORM, ILLUMINATING THE ARTIST'S UNIQUE STORYTELLING PROWESS AND KNACK FOR CRAFTING UNFORGETTABLE DANCEHALL TUNES. "SOME PEOPLE" IS A STRIKING MANIFESTATION OF BUSY SIGNAL'S CREATIVE PROWESS. THE TRACK DRAWS LISTENERS INTO THE PERILOUS WORLD OF BETRAYAL AND ENVY. IT SPEAKS TO THE HEART OF ANYONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE STING OF DECEIT FROM THOSE THEY ONCE TRUSTED, ALL WHILE KEEPING THE DANCEHALL GROOVE ALIVE. "SOME PEOPLE" IS LOADED WITH BUSY SIGNAL'S SIGNATURE LYRICAL PROWESS, ADDRESSING THEMES OF BETRAYAL AND ENVY. A RESONATING CHORUS THAT WILL HAVE YOU SINGING ALONG IN NO TIME. ON A MODERN SLOW TEMPO GROOVY DANCEHALL RHYTHM. ’SOME PEOPLE' IS A PERSONAL REFLECTION ON THE CHALLENGES WE FACE WHEN DEALING WITH THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE ON YOUR SIDE. WE WANTED TO CREATE A TRACK THAT NOT ONLY ADDRESSES THE ISSUE BUT ALSO OFFERS AN ESCAPE THROUGH GOOD MUSIC. IT'S ALL ABOUT RISING ABOVE NEGATIVITY."
The single will be available on all major Digital platforms on November 3rd 2023.
