Morgan Heritage
Morgan Heritage, a 3-time Grammy award-winning reggae band currently comprising the Trinity; Peetah Morgan, Gramps Morgan, and Mojo Morgan who are children of the late reggae great and Father of A Nation, the Hon Rad Denroy Morgan have released their latest project titled ‘Just a number’.
The song was produced by Kareem “Remus” Burrell.
‘Just a number’ is an awareness anthem, which sparks the conversation around a much-needed topic surrounding the unfortunate reality of how one can jeopardize their legacy or financial accomplishments one has worked so hard to achieve because of something their personal views or opinions.
Both the audio and official music video have been premiered today via the group’s YouTube channel.
The single taken from their upcoming album to be released sometime in the spring was inspired by historic and current figures in the entertainment industry and it speaks directly to the upcoming sports, film, TV, and music entertainers and anyone pursuing a professional career.
“We want to make them aware that they should not work hard and sacrifice all their lives to build a career and potentially lose everything overnight because of something you do or say. As students of history, we learned about brutal figures, and we’d like to start a conversation about today’s newsmakers and ensure the youths don’t make the same mistakes” says Morgan Heritage.
Asked whether any of the members of the band found themselves in a situation where they lost something overnight going by the inspiration behind this song, they said they have never been involved in such a situation but know people who have and that the world sees it in the media with prominent celebrities from time to time.
The band has released 12 studio albums, including Strictly Roots, which won the 58th annual Grammy Awards for best reggae album. With a career spanning two decades and over, Morgan Heritage has worked with numerous multi-Grammy award-winning artistes and producers across multiple genres of music.
Along with the group’s global success, it also commands a significant sonic impact over the reggae genre fusing it with various rhythms and sounds from around the world. They bring a riveting stage presence and showmanship to the culture which has made them synonymous with Reggae’s worldwide appeal.
