Jah 9 presents her latest single, “Heaven (Ready Fi Di Feeling).”. Released by VP Music Records November 30, 2018, Jah 9 delivers a profound reggae rhythm with a soulful touch of jazz.
Proceed with caution, because this lovers anthem will take you to a special place, one that only Jah 9 knows the path. And like all her previous works thus far, especially in the last year as “Feel Good,” “Hardcore,” and “Love as Found I, this song will have the listener yearning for more in terms of meaning. While we live comfortably in an era of simplicity, complexity is the best approach to expanding our connectivity through perplexity. Particularly in the area of love which, can never be achieved with linear thinking because we are all complicatedly designed. So, it is best that it is Jah 9, the intelligent one, the observer, and the confident lioness, to explain an additional perspective of love, especially when we are trying to experience heaven.
To appreciate the extent of Jah 9’s vocal and lyrical strengths is to first suspend Western propensity to approach works of art with cultural relativity. At the same time, it is a risk-taking approach when marketing solely to the US market. This song is for the universal listener void of predetermined markers of how love should sound. And since the ears is directly connected to the heart, in doing so, we instantaneously connect to Jah 9’s heart song which reverberates the universality of love which includes a soulful ache, anticipation, intensity, and a mellow reservation even in a honied surrender. Then it is imperative to reflect on her delivery and press play again to appreciate her initiative and respect the gift.
