We a rockerJACOB MILLER
I could only find live recordings.
He is as famous as Bob Marley and a legend in the reggae world.
He is also well-known as the lead singer of Inner Circle.
Sadly, he passed away at 27 due to illness.
It’s laid-back reggae, so it’s easy to listen to.
Lovin’youJanet Kay
It has a beautiful singing voice and soothing music.
This is a cover, but “Lovin’ You” is a masterpiece that can be considered her signature song.
She isn’t from Jamaica; she was born in London, England, so she’s a leading singer of British lovers rock.
I want to listen to it when I’m in love.
Unchained MelodySanchez
They have a beautiful voice.
Although this song is a cover, it’s almost as popular as the original.
The artist has a powerful yet sweet voice, which makes them especially popular among women.
I think they’re outstanding when singing love songs.
Highly recommended for women in love.
Temperaturesean paul
Sean Paul is known as the prince of the dancehall reggae scene, and unlike many in the reggae world, it seems he grew up in a somewhat well-off family.
He has many famous songs, but I chose this one because it uses the Applause riddim.
It would be cool to be able to dance like the women who appear in the music video.
Willie bounceElephant man
This is a song by Elephant Man.
I was torn because Elephant Man has several quite famous tracks, but I chose this one since you can do the representative reggae dance, the Willy Bounce, to it.
There are also many other dances you can do along with the song, so I’d love to learn the dances together with the track.
In conclusion
Jamaican music has healed people’s hearts and brought them joy with its rhythms.
Centered around reggae, Jamaica’s music scene has had a profound impact on the broader musical landscape, and its distinctive groove and heartfelt messages will continue to evolve through the work of young artists.
