- Following the recent release of his critically acclaimed album
Colors Of Royal,
two-time Grammy-nominated artist Julian "JuJu" Marley,
alongside Argentine reggae star Bahiano, Grammy-winning Venezuelan
producer Mr. Sonic, and producer Alexx Antaeus dropped the
official video today for "Roll (Rodando Mr. Sonic Remix)." The
brand new video premiered today on the Monom Records YouTube channel.
Directed by Justin Braham and Maria Somoza, the new visuals were
filmed at several key locations in Miami. The international quartet are first
seen holding court poolside after a rigorous recording session at the legendary
Circle House Studios (home of reggae icons Inner Circle). After unwinding with
a bike ride and a lively game of beer pong, the crew heads out for the evening
to the world famous La Scala de Miami to perform the song for a capacity crowd.
The concert footage was taken from an actual show at La Scala where Julian
joined Bahiano onstage for the live performance debut of the remix.
Julian Marley said,
"I am excited to finally release the 'Roll Rodando' remix video and to
have worked with Bahiano and such a talented crew at Circle House Studio. It
was a great vibes and a blessed experience collaborating with everyone and I
think the video definitely captures the energy and spirit of the song. I can't
wait for everyone to check it out.
Co-producer Mr. Sonic said "I grew up listening to
Bahiano and Julian's music, as well as his father. This is a historic
recording, as it's the first time that an Argentine has recorded with a member
of the Marley family, and for me as a Venezuelan and as Antaeus from Greece
being able to put this together, we know it will have a global impact."
Co-producer Alexx Antaeus added, "I've been wanting to
work with multiple Grammy-winning producer Mr. Sonic for a while. When he
suggested Argentine reggae star Bahiano, it was a no brainer. I just love this
remix."
"It has been an amazing experience and a
once in a lifetime opportunity collaborating with Julian and Mr. Sonic to
create this incredible track," said Bahiano about the collabo.
"And the fact that Julian allowed me write and sing my part in Spanish
makes it even more special."
Colors of Royal is an
exciting departure from Julian Marley’s previous roots reggae
offerings, and showcases his versatility as an artist. The album is a testament
to the power of collaboration, as Marley and Antaeus have blended their unique
styles and influences to create something extraordinary. Colors of Royal showcases
a kaleidoscope of sounds and invites listeners to both think about the state of
our world today and, at the same time, appreciate and enjoy life.
“This album is all about artistic freedom and exploration,”
says Julian. “We wanted to create something that was both true to reggae
music and also pushed the envelope, and I think we’ve achieved that with Colors
of Royal. It’s a journey through sound and color, and we can’t wait for people
to experience it.”
