Alborosie Embraces Legacy with New Single "Come My Way"
Reggae enthusiasts, rejoice! Alborosie, the renowned roots reggae ambassador, has dropped a new single titled "Come My Way,' giving us all the soulful vibes we've been craving. Released on April 25, 2025, through VP/Greensleeves Records, this fresh track isn't just any new tune—it's a revitalization of an iconic riddim that has been cherished by music lovers for decades.
A Glimpse into Reggae History
This new single breathes life into the classic riddim that first entered our hearts through Jacob Miller's 1974 classic “Baby I Love You So.” This iconic melody was later transformed into the dub masterpiece known as "King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown," which remains a beloved cornerstone of reggae music. This riddim's impact has even echoed into pop culture, making waves when featured on K-JAH West in the acclaimed video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, introducing endless players to the foundational sounds of reggae.
What Makes “Come My Way” Special?
Alborosie's interpretation of this timeless riddim is not only respectful but also unique. He layers it with lush harmonies and rich instrumentation that create a slow-burning lovers rock experience. The song pays homage to the influences of artists like Dawn Penn and also aligns with contemporary renditions, like Chronixx’s well-received "Alpha and Omega.” This fusion of classic and modern sounds is a testament to Alborosie's knack for blending past with present.
Looking Ahead: A Busy Year for the Maestro
This track marks an exciting chapter for Alborosie as he gears up for the release of his tenth studio album. After the success of his previous album “Destiny” in 2023—featuring collaborations with reggae heavyweights like Buju Banton and Kabaka Pyramid—it's clear this artist is on a remarkable upward trajectory. With recent accomplishments like his hit “Kingston Town” surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify, Alborosie is undeniably making his mark on the global music scene.
Catch Him Live!
Fans can look forward to seeing Alborosie live as he embarks on a tour across Europe and the U.S. this spring and summer, featuring debut performances in exciting locales like Malta, and return appearances at renowned festivals like Summerjam in Germany. If you’re a fan of good vibes and great music, make sure you catch this reggae virtuoso on the road!
