JOUVERT MORNING

BLACK STAR RISING is a triumph of Pan-African vibes. Over West African beats laid down by Sarah Riegler, J.O. moves fluidly between afrobeats, hiphop, dancehall and soca.

#GOATLIFE is the culmination of a 2-year, 4-mixtape project John Orpheus used to find and develop their unique pan-African sound. Equal parts hip-hop, dancehall, and afrobeats, #GOATLIFE finds J.O. and his jiggy af Trinidadian drawl at its best over partner-in-crime Sarah Jane Riegler's Afro rhythms.

Hot Damn Romance

Electric is a song about chemistry. The magic that catches our eye and gets us all in our feels. That spark. With a school yard chant disguised as a pop chorus filled with optimism and adoration, a Trini chant to “blaze up” and “raise up” and a whimsical rap verse by Michigan rapper/composer Jordan Hamilton, it crackles with fun. The heart of the song is John singing to his mysterious flame: “San Fernando girl, you are the one I’m dreaming of” while Jordan’s cello playing soars underneath. Like that moment when chemistry strikes and makes everything ELECTRIC.
