Coming soon: Reggae

Review: Japanese singer-songwriter Calyn Tsukishima offers a fresh take on two iconic tracks with her reggae covers. Her rendition of Minnie Riperton's 'Lovin' You' is a smooth, emotional journey, with Tsukishima's glossy vocals building in intensity, pulling the listener into a warm embrace of lovers' reggae. This cover offers a unique yet faithful reimagining of a classic, with the gradual swell in her singing perfectly complementing the track's inherent tenderness. On the B-side, Tsukishima takes on Alicia Keys' 'Empire State of Mind (Pt. 2)' in a ska reggae style, the upbeat rhythm and catchy horns injecting a lively, fresh energy into a song often tied to urban grandeur. A must-have for reggae enthusiasts and those eager to hear beloved songs through a different lens.
