Courtney John - Love Is
Music Video LinksArtist Biography
Available in:
Courtney John’s mission is simple– to make music that transcends time and leaves listeners happy and lifted. Descending from a long line of reggae greats, the singer is proud to continue the legacy with his latest offering From Letters To Words out July 17th on FiWi Music. This ten-track album is flavored with lovers rock melodies incorporating a little bit of the old and a lot of new. From Letters To Words, is described by Courtney John as “a feel good reggae album for the mature listener’. The lead single Its Gonna Be Alright is a hopeful and inspiring track to help people get through tough times while the ever romantic Love Is explores the importance of love in our lives and its power to transform us. Another favorite is the deeply personal Cleopatra-– a song that pays homage to John’s mother. Music is in Courtney John’s blood, being part of the family that spawned reggae great Beres Hammond and a number of others involved in the business aspect of the industry; it is also the area he feels most comfortable experimenting in. From Letters To Words features female producer The Wizard, who is responsible for a different sound that is modern while not straying far from what his listeners have come to know and love. Also providing musical direction is Lloyd Campbell and one of reggae's most prolific and long lasting production teams, Sly & Robbie. Courtney John has taken time off from performing the last two years to explore other aspect of the music industry. Along with songwriting and developing the next generation of talent in Jamaica, Courtney landed the coveted musical director position of the regional lifestyle show “In The Dance”. Collaborations with international musicians Nelly Furtado and Michael Franti have also help to push John’s artistic boundaries. “I like to explore the limits of what I am doing and find other ways that I can use my talent,” the singer said. His distinctive sound and writing abilities has been sought after by some of the biggest names in Jamaican music having contributed to the chart topping hits Cant’ Stop A Man by Beres Hammond, Shining Time by Marcia Griffiths and The One Pop Reggae album by Sly & Robbie which earned a 2011 Grammy Nomination.
