May Pen, Jamaica – Reggae music and culture ambassador Jahdon returns with the electrifying “Give,” which is out now on all digital and streaming platforms. Marking a significant departure from his familiar Roots reggae, Jahdon ventures into the pulsating realms of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) with this track, marrying his poignant message with a vibrant riddim to achieve a sound that’s as authentic as it is electrifying. An equally compelling Official Music Video for “Give”, edited by Cyberleaf Entertainment, is now playing on Jahdon’s YouTube channel.
Produced under Jahdon’s Look Ya Noww Entertainment/Broomie LLC banner and distributed by the iconic Tuff Gong International, “Give” showcases Jahdon’s vocal prowess at its peak. This inspiring tune is a fresh take on “Give Ankhs,” a standout track from his second studio album, “I” released in 2022.
Delving into the inspiration behind “Give“, Jahdon reflects on the profound symbolism found in African culture. He explains, “The ankh symbol, representing ‘life’ in Egyptian hieroglyphs, always fascinated me. Discovering the ‘give’ symbol, depicted as a triangle, was a revelation. Combined, they signify ‘Given Eternal Life’ – a message of utmost gratitude and a mantra I’ve embraced in expressing thanks.”
Exploring EDM
Jahdon’s exploration into EDM is a homage to musical pioneers like King Tubby, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and King Jammys. Jahdon acknowledges EDM’s roots in reggae music and sound system culture. The transition was sparked by reflection and the desire to infuse the original track’s lyrics with a new sonic texture. Collaborating closely with his engineer, Lamar “Audiotraxx” Thompson, Jahdon sought a unique sound to match the powerful lyrics, resulting in “Give” – a testament to their longstanding musical synergy.
