Chronixx is Cool As The Breeze in the summer heat
Cool As The Breeze is the truest Summer Song, an eternal one if there ever was.
Ever since his debut, Chronixx has set himself apart as one of the defining forces of contemporary Jamaican music. From selling out shows worldwide and locally, to grammy nods for his latest album Chronology, the 27 year old is making noteworthy musical statements in the progression of his music. The release of his first single Dela Move, along with an official music video and the announcement of the album Dela Splash suggests something has been brewing for some time now. Dela Move has an interesting mix of Rastafari’s nyabinghi drum beat, and other traditional Jamaican sounds mixed with the big drums that characterize hip hop music.
Same Prayer featuring Kabaka Pyramid follows as a softer approach that is a sonic contrast and compliment to the more high energy Dela Move.
Yet Chronixx’s latest single Cool As The Breeze/Friday is a more groovy, horn heavy take on the same sonic DNA that Dela Move and Same Prayer exhibit. This new single is accompanied by a stunning music video that perfectly suits the tones of the track. The music video, directed by Meji Alabi and song celebrate what feels like the golden age of dancehall music, the 90s. It is an ode to the city of Kingston, to the freedom and the feeling of joy that is usually associated with summer time. The nostalgic zoom transitions, film aesthetic and set design combine to create an experience that will have you reminiscing.
