MediSun is excited to announce his new single “Speak Love” and
“Speak Dub” due out August 20th. Focusing on the healing power of song
and words MediSun comments, “The entire world was in the midst of the
traumatic events of 2020 and I was facing a very tense period in my
personal life. In spite of the discomfort I was experiencing, I felt
inspired to send a healing wave of sound into Iration and uplift the
collective psyche of the planet.” He continues, “The therapeutic use of
sound is the driving force behind all of the works, or bodies of work,
on the horizon. Words can harm, deceive, divide, and destroy. They can
also heal, enlighten, unite, and create. I aim to encourage people to
choose the latter when speaking to self or others.”
Created last summer MediSun met up with the esteemed producer,
musician and artist Moon Bain at his home studio in the woodland of
western Massachusetts. MediSun reflects, “A mutual brethren,
Blakkamoore, had been trying to connect us for years and we finally both
had the availability to hold a vibe. It was my inaugural link up with
Zion I Kings in the middle of the global lockdown. This was the very
first record that manifested when we entered the creative space.”
Additionally, the new song marks the first time MediSun collaborated
with the mighty Teflon “Zinc Fence” on drums, the sought after Jah D on
bass, Moon Bain on guitar and writing/arrangement of the song, and the
legendary late Drew Keys on keys. Drew Keys passed on shortly after the
song was laid down, reflecting back MediSun comments, “It was an honor
to vibe with him musically and even interact with him a few times before
he trodded out of this earthly plane later that year. Honors to him and
his family.” Together they created a song that fits perfectly into his
decade long catalogue.
The new song drops with a dub version and will be accompanied by a
music video to match the healing vibe of the song. MediSun continues,
“The musicians involved in the production were a Reggae all-star team
and the visual we shot soon after in Kingston with Samo Kush, Fernando
Hevia, & Nadia McAnuff was an unforgettable experience.”
Looking back at the new song, MediSun comments, “Gratitude to all
who are involved in this project and all who are involved in the
collective healing process. Be mindful of the words you utter,
especially to the young and impressionable, because what you transmit
into them is often internalized and amplified in ways that affect us
all. We cannot easily stop the lone gunman when we are staring down the
barrel of their weapon, but we can stop the small child who is in pain
from feeling alone in their suffering. The power to create change is in
being gentle with ourselves and others.”
