The UB40-approved Birmingham reggae collective KIOKO share their sun-drenched new single “Sing Like I.” Aiming to uplift the spirits of those who currently feel like everything is just a little too much, the single is brimming with feel-good grooves that will turn anyone’s frown upside down.
Praising those who inspire us and provide endless love and happiness, “Sing Like I” is a track that truly serves a purpose. Awash with classic reggae rhythms and Jamaican-inspired flows, the single is yet another stellar example of the collectives’ ability to craft tunes that promote carefree positivity. “‘Sing Like I’ is a grooving and uplifting feel-good anthem,” states trombonist Josh Wilkinson. “Lose yourself in the rhythm, make it your summer soundtrack and let it carry you through these new moments we are experiencing.”
