Coconut Rootz – I’m Hooked On You

Coconut Rootz continues to reign with I’m Hooked On You, a roots reggae record that makes total emotional dependency sound like the most natural and comfortable place in the world to be.

It is a track that moves on a warm, easy reggae groove with the kind of laid back one drop rhythm that the star have made feel like home across their catalogue, wrapping a vocal performance full of genuine affection around a melody that sticks around long after the song has finished. The record has a sweetness to it that never tips into something saccharine because the delivery stays real throughout and you believe every word being sung which makes all the difference with a love song like this one.

This great singer have been quietly building one of the more consistent catalogues in Pacific Island reggae through releases like My Daily Dose Of You, Let Me Enjoy and Same Sweet Routine that collectively paint the picture of a band that genuinely loves making music about love without running out of new ways to say it. They matter right now because authentic roots reggae that actually feels personal is harder to find than the volume of reggae music being released would suggest.

It is serve for anyone who has ever tried to explain why they cannot stop thinking about someone and given up because the feeling is honestly just easier to play than it is to describe in words.

Listen and Enjoy!
