Coconut Rootz – Seven O’clock

Coconut Rootz set a warm and specific kind of mood with Seven O’clock, a reggae and roots-influenced record that captures the anticipation and easy romance of an evening that starts at a very particular and meaningful hour.

Seven O’clock moves with the unhurried, melodic flow of Caribbean roots music done with genuine care and craftsmanship, built on clean guitar work, a steady rhythm section and vocals that communicate the excitement of an evening plan with a charm that makes the song feel instantly relatable regardless of where you are listening from. The production has a live warmth to it that suits the time-specific imagery of the lyrics, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and breezy in the way that the best roots reggae always manages to be when it is operating at its most natural.

Coconut Rootz has been building a reputation in the Pacific Island and global reggae community through releases that honour the roots tradition while keeping their sound fresh and accessible to audiences discovering Caribbean music for the first time alongside those who have loved it for decades. Their music carries a cultural sincerity that connects across different listener backgrounds, and their consistent output reflects a band that takes the responsibility of carrying the reggae tradition forward with genuine seriousness and musical commitment.

This record has the specific anticipatory energy of a Friday evening when you have somewhere to be and someone worth being there with, the kind of song that makes the clock on the wall feel like it is counting down to something worth arriving for.

Listen and Enjoy!
