Road Again: Watch Courtney John’s “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” Video

Words by Jesse Serwer—

If you automatically think vintage/throwback sound and dreadlocks when you hear the name Courtney John, you’re liable to do a double take watching the falsetto singer’s video for “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.” Rocking a newly cropped hairstyle and modern, up-to-the-time pop production courtesy of his first cousin, The Wizard (read our interview with the rising female producer here), the always-dapper John complements the uplifting song with some beautiful scenery, taking to Jamaica’s roads and hitching rides from rural St. Ann to his uncle Beres Hammond’s Harmony House Studio.

Look out for John’s sophomore LP, From Letters To Words, produced by The Wizard, out July 17, and stream the ethereal “Very Special” after you watch “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” below.
