Watch Syleena & Musiq discus the project in the studio.
Reggae R&B covers and remixes are nothing new. Think Singing Melody's Mario remake, or Alicia Key's "You Don't Know My Name" remix.
Of course Jamaican artists have been influenced by American R&B going back decades, from the first Jamaican recordings' New Orleans boogie shuffle influence, through early Bob Marley & the Wailers covers of the Impressions. More rare are American R&B artists adopting the reggae format for their own original music. That's what Syleena and Musiq have done, and judging by the strong first single, it might be a trend worth repeating.
