The iconic Beres Hammond released his latest album, “Never Ending,” on October 12th.
The living Caribbean legend’s voice is as crisp and beautiful as ever, as he croons his way through his 20th studio album. According to a statement from VP Records, ““Never Ending” presents 21st century classics from the master of romance and reggae.” It continues, “Beres carries on the grand tradition of a romantic balladeer with sensitivity and swagger. “Never Ending” features 14 songs about love and life, in collaboration with longtime recording studio partners; Willie Lindo, Kirk Bennett, Handel Tucker, Errol ‘Flabba’ Carter, Leroy & David Heywood aka “Mafia & Fluxy,” Winston ‘Bopee’ Bowen, Dean Fraser and Robbie Lyn among others.”
“Hammond, at 63, remains an energetic and charismatic performer, his soulful, gravely vocals delivering timeless hits written about falling in and out of love and the bittersweet exchanges between those sentiments.” – Billboard
The first single off “Never Ending” is “I’m Alive” – a 21st century ‘roots’ track, with Beres singing praises for life’s simple and essential joys. The visual, directed by RD Studios, aims to portray Beres Hammond’s childhood and the beginning of his love for music to his current day, while performing and making music in the studio. Throughout the four minute video, artists influenced by Beres are featured, including cameos by Jah Cure, Alborosie, Romain Virgo, Christopher Martin, Shenseea, Jesse Royal and more.
