Dukes of Roots solidify their place as torchbearers of contemporary roots reggae with "Stoner's Paradise" and global connectivity. It features an effortless inhale of nostalgia coupled with an unmistakable exhale of originality, encapsulating the band's signature sound: Jamaican, yet universally accessible.
From the very first bassline drop, listeners are pulled into a warm, rhythmic trance that exists somewhere between groove and gratitude. The song's production is lush without being excessive; every instrument, vocal harmony, and percussive accent appears to be purposely positioned to enhance each emotion. "Stoner's Paradise" explores connection, peace, and the high of being present, as deep as the roots of their music.
The Dukes of Roots we have come to know is a collective of singers, songwriters, musicians, and producers who demonstrate a clear understanding of reggae's heart and the music's capacity to unify and uplift. "Stoner's Paradise" feels like a continuation of the collegial communion following their highly regarded performance at The Rototom Sunsplash Festival. The vocals ride so naturally with the rhythm, engaging the listener with a sense of positivity while carrying them to a more ethereal aspect of awareness.
