Ultra-talented
Free People Entertainment recording artiste Droop Lion continues to revolutionize
reggae music as he stays true to his pledge to “make Reggae great again”.
Armed with a
destined-for-success 14-track album, Ideologies,
the Rastafarian singer with the signature, soul-searing voice, is ready to rock
the world with the release of Have You
Ever Seen The Rain, the very first single from the album. March 15 has been
designated as the official release date of a song which is sure to evoke
memories for many and create a slew of new set for many more.
Have You Ever Seen the Rain is a cover version, but it is just
not any cover, it is a time-honoured classic and in true Droop Lion fashion,
the singer wholeheartedly embraces it, even as he meticulously strips away the
over four decades since the song made its debut and passionately refreshes it
with new life. Droop vocally claims this 1970’s hit as his very own, even
though he stays true to the original lyrics and pays tribute to the creators.
Have You Ever Seen the Rain was written by John Fogerty of roots
rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival and released as a single in 1971 from
the album Pendulum. It racked up
many accolades and has sold over 25 million copies.
“This is
truly a big song and has been one of my favourites from the very first time
that I heard it,” Droop Lion confesses. “For me to do a cover of Have You Ever Seen the Rain is an
honour and a pleasure. It is one of those songs that pose a powerful question
and, in fact, it is more about life than it is about the weather. The word rain
is really a metaphor for so many other things and therefore this song can have
a different meaning for each person and at the same time there is also a
universal interpretation,” he said reflectively.
Undoubtedly,
Droop Lion, delivers an impressive,
reggae-inspired rendition of the rock band’s 1970's song which allows him to remain
committed to his own personal musical ideology and identity. This singer, who
emerged as one of the leading voices of a new reggae-soul movement, and who has
never compromised in order to achieve success, again shows exactly why he has
been chosen as the disciple who will put the word ‘great’ back in reggae music.
Have You Ever Seen The Rain the debut single from, and the first
song on Droop Lion’s brilliant Ideologies album, will be released on
March 15 and will also be available for download on digital platforms.
Droop Lion
is determined to make Reggae great again and what better way to kickstart this
meaningful and historic journey than with this classic song which is open to
multiple interpretations: Have You Ever Seen The Rain?
