It was just the other day that we sat down with Dre Island to get his perspectives on life, music and spirituality. In a wide-ranging conversation with Tishanna Williams, the โWe Prayโ singjay and Unruly family member discussed his love for the piano, his entry into the music business, and the next steps in his developing career. He also spoke on his new single โCrazy,โ which, he explained, โhas a magic feel and is one for the ladies.โ
Weโve got an exclusive premiere of the video for โCrazy,โ a track which is just as Dre described it. Produced by MathsofMind Productions, โCrazyโ has a big, melodic sound that recalls some of the finest work of Stephen Marley and Jah Cure. Itโs definitely a different sound for the artist that is sure to continue to carry the name Dre Island further. The songโs themes โ itโs about regret, and the indecisiveness of a former lover โ are visualized by directors Wikid Media, who shot the colorful clip at points along Jamaicaโs North Coast.
โCrazy,โ which will appear on Dre Islandโs upcoming album Now I Rise, is out today on all streaming services. Read the rest of our interview with Dre Island here.
