We're excited to see Amanda Abizaid 's new single, 'Peace War', arriving tomorrow. 🎶

Created with Grammy-winning producer Narada Michael Walden and an incredible lineup of musicians from around the world, 'Peace War' pairs an infectious Latin pop groove with a powerful message of hope, unity, and choosing peace.

Give it a listen when it drops on August 20 and help spread the message. ❤️

Some tracks are made to sit still. This isn't one of them. 🎺🔥

Skaracha from Strictly Yard Sound brings the timeless energy of classic Jamaican ska into the present with infectious horns, a driving bassline, and production built to keep you moving. Then it flips the script with Hot Chili Dub, a deep, echo-soaked dub version mixed by Brian "BRIZION" Zanchetta that gives the release a whole new dimension.

Featuring trumpet from Alex Lee-Clark and production from an all-star team including Loud City Music, Rob Whitaker, and Alex Psaroudakis, this is a release that pays respect to the roots while sounding fresh.

Turn it up, hit play, and let the groove do the rest. 🎶

Listen to Skaracha - Single by Strictly Yard Sound.

"Most people think being a musician means standing under a spotlight for a couple of hours each night, singing songs, and soaking up rapturous applause. Musicians know better. "
