Words by Natalie Weiner—
Gyptian, Jamaican dancehall crooner and all-around ladies man, has a new single with Brooklyn producer Ricky Blaze. What happened the last time these two got in the studio together? Just one of the most internationally successful reggae tracks so far this millenium and a song that essentially gave birth to the island pop genre, that’s all.
“Stuck,” one of Gyptian’s first new releases since dropping his album Sex, Love, and Reggae in the fall, has all the elements that made “Hold Yuh” so successful — the catchy keyboard hook, Gyptian’s smooth, sexy vocals, the wine-ready tempo… If history tells us anything, it won’t be long until we’re going to be hearing this irresistible dancefloor anthem everywhere. Stream it below, and tell us what you think!
