Franchement du bon son, je trouve pas assez mis en avant en France, car peu d'artiste reggae en France peuvent se vanter d'avoir fait un son roots comme celui là.... Bravo Princess

Je n’étais pas née quand le morceau est sorti, aujourd’hui je suis trentenaire et je l’écoute en boucle. Bien que j’avais déjà entendu la sonorité via l’assurance MMA mais merci Princess Erika pour ce chef-d’œuvre, clairement👌🏾👌🏾
