Consequence’s Origins is a recurring series that gives artists a place to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, Sinkane dissects his new song, “How Sweet Is Your Love.”
Sinkane (aka multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab) has announced his fifth studio album, We Belong, out on April 5th via City Slang Records. In addition, the pop and funk artist has announced a US tour and released the new single, “How Sweet Is Your Love,” along with its accompanying music video
In a compelling preview of what is sure to follow on We Belong, the song is dancy and fun. It’s in part inspired by the American punk scenes of the ’70s and ’80s, as well as the soul music of Gallab’s native Sudan.
“‘How Sweet Is Your Love’ is about remaining in the present and feeling all of your feelings as fully as possible,” Gallab tells Consequence about the tune.

Even if you're not familiar with the name, Ir-Sais, you're probably familiar with the artist's work. His 2019 smash hit "Dreamgirl" was everywhere and garnered not one but two remixes: one featuring reggaeton star Rauw Alejandro, and the other with dancehall legend Sean Paul. But just as the single was peaking internationally, the pandemic hit, forcing Sais (real name: Irgwin Placido Sluis) into quarantine instead of letting him ride the wave of his recent success.

"I experienced a global hit and had to sit home because I couldn't travel. It was difficult because there were no shows, no radio or television appearances," he tells Popsugar. "So I didn't have the chance to push it to the limit."

Eve has jumped on the summer bandwagon with her new song “Reload,” her first new track in six years, featuring Jamaican dancehall artist Konshens. The reggae-infused kiss-off track has Eve declaring that “the past is so behind me” on a new relationship over a steady piano line.
Eve has stayed largely out of the music world since 2016, when she opened for Gwen Stefani on her This Is What The Truth Feels Like summer tour. She also appeared as a guest on the Oxygen series Sisterhood of Hip Hop and, since...

Five years ago, Walshy Fire, the Jamaican producer known for the global-club-mishmashes he makes with the group Major Lazer, funded his own solo tour of Africa. In Kenya at one point, “the driver had fallen asleep and nobody could find him,” Walshy Fire recalls. “When they finally saw him, the first thing they said was, ‘you’re kimbo.’ I know that word in Jamaica to mean lazy — you’re asleep and spread out. It means the exact same thing in Kenya.”

In contemporary pop, artists seem exceptionally open to interdisciplinary collaboration. Brazilian baile funk acts like Mc Gw are borrowing from the reggaeton being made in Colombia and Puerto Rico. Jamaican dancehall singers like Konshens are working with afrobeats producers like DJ Tunez, a Brooklyn-based beat-maker of Nigerian descent.
The latest example of this trend is “Open the Door,” a propulsive marvel featuring Bad Gyal, a Spanish-Catalan singer known for her dancehall influences, and Govana, a rising Jamaican singer who has released a stream of singles that picked up traction on YouTube this year.

Popular musical rhythms are always skipping and skittering back and forth between Africa and its diasporic communities, from Jamaica to Brazil to Colombia and elsewhere. “That’s a process that’s been going on for a long, long time,” says musicologist Wayne Marshall, who teaches at Berklee College of Music. “What was called, for a while, Congolese rumba and then evolves into soukous — the reason it’s called rumba is because it’s [based on] Cuban son records that became popular in the Congo. It’s circular: The son doesn’t exist...

Jamaican producer Rvssian enlists reggaeton stars J Balvin and Farruko on his jaunty new song, “Ponle.”
Farruko has been working with Rvssian since before he became a star; the two have an easy chemistry. Rvssian’s beat is full of spring and swing, and Farruko raps a tightly-wound verse with minimum drama. There’s more space in Balvin’s part; he slips curving melodies between beats.
Rvssian got his start producing dancehall and quickly racked up credits with some of the biggest names in the genre, including Vybz Kartel and Sean Paul.

In the first week of May, the American music industry commenced a semi-annual tradition: singling out a lone piece of Jamaican music and sending it up the charts. 2018’s lucky winner is “Walking Trophy,” a confidence-boosting single by Hoodcelebrityy, a Jamaican-born, New York City-based singer. By early July, two months after appearing on the mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart, “Walking Trophy” was reaching an audience of around eight million listeners a week.
