Mojo, a talented musician deeply rooted in reggae music due to his upbringing as the son of reggae legend Denroy Morgan, is preparing to unveil his most personal and diverse project to date, the Jamaica Love EP. Scheduled for release on August 29 through Vydia, this EP marks Mojo’s musical journey following the passing of his beloved brother and fellow bandmate, Peetah Morgan.
The EP’s leading track, “Mountain Song,” is a heartfelt collaboration involving Mojo, his brother Gramps, and his son Esh. It serves as a poignant tribute to their family’s roots in the hills of St. Thomas, Jamaica. The song’s acoustic textures and emotional storytelling pay homage to resilience, heritage, and the enduring strength passed down through generations. “Mountain Song” seamlessly blends elements of acoustic soul, country, gospel harmonies, and reggae roots into a powerful anthem celebrating family, cultural roots, and home.
Through the Jamaica Love EP, Mojo artfully combines reggae with country, Americana, and global rhythms, creating a timeless sound that transcends generational boundaries. Collaborations with artists such as Gramps Morgan, Popcaan, Sizzla, Maino, and Mojo’s own children and nephew highlight the EP’s celebration of family ties and cultural heritage.
Defined by Mojo as “Rasta Rock,” the EP showcases a fusion of reggae, rock, hip-hop, country, soul, and pop influences, drawing inspiration from diverse musical legends like Bob Dylan, Peter Tosh, 2Pac, Vybz Kartel, Coldplay, The Cranberries, and Phil Collins. This unique sound reflects Mojo’s artistic evolution, marked by a global perspective, emotional depth, and heartfelt sincerity.
Recent appearances on BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio London, and performances at prominent European festivals demonstrate Mojo’s growing international presence and cultural impact. With Jamaica Love, Mojo Morgan continues to push the boundaries of reggae music, honoring tradition while propelling the genre into a bold new era. Through his music, Mojo delivers a powerful message of legacy, healing, and resilience, inspiring listeners to pursue their dreams with passion and determination.
As Mojo Morgan eloquently expresses, “Jamaica Love is more than music, it’s a message. It’s legacy, healing, and the soundtrack for anyone who’s ever had to fight for their dream.” With an impressive tracklist featuring collaborations with acclaimed artists and family members alike, the Jamaica Love EP promises to be a heartfelt and inspiring musical journey for audiences worldwide.
