NEW MUSIC: @RaineSeville – Willow Tree

Posted on by swadedavillain

willow tree

Today’s new music comes from singer Raine Seville. Titled “Willow Tree” and produced by Locke City Music Group, this is a cover version of the late Alton Ellis’ 1967 single of the same name with a little twist. This song is about finding new love and sparing the “Willow Tree” from crying  for Raine’s past experiences. As the lyrics say once a tear has fallen, the willow tree weeps eternally but Raine  made it clear that she won’t cry over past associates and shall move on with her life. A good effort from Raine, fresh off her controversial single with Konshens, this single hears her saluting a legend and her being able to move on from situations. What you think of the song?

Jamaica’s rising Reggae group Black As Cole is trying to reach fans near and far with their wonderful creations. Today they release their cover to Adele’s “Hometown Glory“.
