Smooth, soulful, legendary reggae artist Beres Hammond is back with new single “I’m Alive”, out this Friday May 18th. After a lengthy hiatus, the new single has all the elements of a classic Beres production with smooth harmonies, jazzy instrumentation and poignant lyrics. With his recordings and ongoing tour schedule in 2018, Beres' star is shining brightly and the vibe in his music is never ending.

“I’m Alive will be the first single release off his upcoming album out this summer. To support the new project, Hammond will be embarking on a 25 stop US tour, including stops at popular festivals; Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Belly Up and Hollywood Bowl. Other stops include Santa Cruz, Tucson, Orlando, Atlanta, Washington DC, Brooklyn, Newark, Boston and more. See dates below.

Helping form the foundation for his mellow, bluesy delivery, Beres grew up listening to American soul and pop music from Stax, Motown and other vintage sounds. Fast forward to now, his own influence on others is witnessed from a diverse list of singers : including Shaggy, Romain Virgo, Christopher Martin, Rihanna and much more. 

Lyrics

IRIE!!! IRIE!!

Gonna lift my voice in praises…yes
Gonna shout it go sing it loud
Up in the morning I say my prayer
Thank you father for another day
Let me declare it right away

I’m alive…yes

My money in the bank 
Owe no rent
Here I am still give thanks
Ask me how; I don’t know
I no pro
But I’m alive…yea aye
I’m alive

I see the sun and I see the rain…yes
I feel joy in my father’s name
Tear might fall every now and then
I still give thanks to the full extent…yes now
Up in the morning I say my prayer
Thank you father for another day
Let me declare it right away

I’m alive…yes

My money in the bank 
Owe no rent
But here I am still give thanks
Ask me how; I don’t know

But I’m alive…yes

I can walk without fear or doubts…yea
Go to sleep with little to worry about
I do know there’s danger everywhere…yea aye
So I pray dear father always be near
Up in the morning I say my prayer
Thank you father for another day
Let me declare it right away

My money in the bank 
Owe no rent
But here I am still give thanks
Ask me how; I don’t know 
I aint no pro
But I’m alive…yes

I challenge the day with an open mind
Just in a way Jah, Jah would design
Know I will falter
But in time, I will grow
I will grow 
Can’t be old to be taught
Can even learn something from the youth
Give a little nod if you know the truth… yea…aye

Up in the morning I say my prayer
Thank you father for another day
Let me declare it right away
I’m alive…yes
I’m alive
My money in the bank 
Owe no rent
But here I am still give thanks
Ask me how; I don’t know
I aint no pro
But I’m alive…yes
I’m alive… yea

In the year 1994, he recognized the sound of "INFINITY16". At the same time, in the same year, he wanted to give out the real Jamaican sound and flew abroad alone. There he touched the music, the culture, and interacted with a lot of people, the "real" Jamaican sound. The first Dub Plate was made at this time. After visiting Jamaica for one month, he brought back the experience to Japan and started playing again. Time to time he went back to Jamaica but every stay was too short so he decided to travel to Jamaica for a longer time. In 1998, he got ready for a long trip and left Japan. During his trip, he also visited the Jamaican culture in New York and came back to Japan in 2002. His experience and knowledge connected back in Japan and made him succeed to influence the sound in even bigger events. This is when INFINITY16 dramatically grew to a bigger sound. After coming back to Japan, he not only started his events but was asked to visit BIG DANCE and SOUND CLASH where artists from abroad also played, and festivals which were held outdoors in the summer. By interacting with many people, the aggressive style of the sound even grew. And in December of 2004, in Kawasaki CLUB CITTA' they held their 10th Anniversary event and in the event SOUND CLASH, they were recognized as the number 1 sound. In 2005, the sound had a tour visiting 21 prefectures, "REAL WARRIORS TOUR. In December of 2006, in Kawasaki CLUB CITTA' they held their 12th Anniversary event which recorded the highest turnout for the first time. In March of 2007, in New York where the NUMBER ONE SOUND CLASH was held, "GARRISON SHOWDOWN", even though there were challengers representing Japan, was able to be recognized number one and signaled out the presence of their sound worldwide. In the same year in April, they made a contract with UNIVERSAL MUSIC and released a single, "DREAM LOVER". Where the top reggae representing artists Shounan-no-Kaze, MINMI, and MOOMIN are around, INFINITY16 was able to hit the top 10 on the ORICON WEEKLY CHART as the REGGAE SOUND. This impacted the potential of the sound in the reggae scene. In the same year in December, they were able to succeed in the SOUND SYSTEM. Their obsessiveness to the sound never stops and keeps on going. INFINITY16 will keep on growing with high standard goals and creativities towards their work will grow the music of Reggae. INFINITY16 is not measurable and will always be acting over our imagination carrying a sense of infinity potential.
