OH JAH JAH! O astro da comédia Eddie Murphy releases the new single in reggae! Ouça in Surforeggae!

Eddie Murphy knows reggae well. In 2013, the comedy star released, after 20 years without recording, a single that shook the world scene. The song "Red Light" was a hit, partly because of Eddie's notoriety and - of course - because of the quality of the sound. "Red Light" was made in partnership with Snoop Dogg, who despite not having much credit in the reggae world, did not overshadow the actor's brilliance, who received a very positive response from even the most enthusiastic.

OH JAH JAH!

Now, Eddie Murphy comes with the single "Oh Jah Jah", which will be distributed by VP Records. Full of conscious messages about current affairs, Eddie Murphy reinforces the 2013 speech: You don't want to make a reggae album. They are just flirtations with the rhythm that he likes and admires so much. I love making music, and I do it whenever I want. I just don't want to act like an actor-singer, you know? It's full of sons of bitches like that, taking advantage of their fame to release some songs and increase their fame even more, or make money, anyway, I'm not like that and I don't want to be part of that." - criticizes the actor. In an interview with the magazine Rolling Stones, Eddie is asked whether the title of the song - Oh Jah Jah - has any religious background. No, no. I'm not a Rasta. I only did reggae, and reggae artists say JAH, so I said that too. The message of the song has to do with the feeling of reggae, with its struggle. I wrote "Oh Jah Jah" as soon as Ebola resurfaced in Africa, but because it was a sensitive subject, I was afraid the song would be forgotten or misinterpreted, so I put the message between the lines." In one part of the song, Eddie sings "The devil’s on the move..." but it was originally "Ebola’s on the move". You can't put this type of subject in an R&B song, people wouldn't like it or get the message. In roots reggae, yes... it is conscious. Then you can say.".
