Canadian singer-songwriter François Marius has written the book with his new song, "Get Ready For The Fun (Jamaican Version)." This feel-good mash-up of trip-hop, pop, and R&B has a relaxed, sunny disposition that makes you happy and feel like you've been whisked away to a beach holiday. This release also solidifies François Marius' status as an ascendant international artist in reggae and beyond. Named by Rolling Stone as one of the must-discover reggae artists, François is an artist ushering in a new era of innovation in reggae while staying true to the genre's joyous sound.
François is a kind of jack of all trades on this album, writing, composing, playing bass and drums, and taking on lead vox, which is a true testament to his multitalented manner. The beat throbs with a genuine reggae feel, underpinned by a rock-solid groove you can't help but sway to. The whole thing is subtly augmented by the blends of Simona and François's guitar, a honeyed, melody-rich veneer that sits comfortably atop the mix of rhythm section sounds.
The tune features the playful and completely unexpected presence of a saxophone played by Bérénice, whose lines cut through the mix like a sizzling knife, adding a thrilling edge to the song's infectious energy. Backing vocals from Bérénice add another level of depth and harmony, all matching beautifully with François' welcoming and soulful lead.
"Get Ready For The Fun (Jamaican Version)" is 100 percent sonic sunshine, an ode to good times, and up-tempo grooves that somehow feel refreshingly modern and firmly rooted in reggae tradition. Its bouncy beat and catchy melodies immediately make it a summer playlist contender or a quick dose of musical escape. Whether you are an unadulterated reggae head or you just want feel-good music with a little something for your heart, you will need to listen to this one. François Marius urges you to brush off your troubles and jump into good times with this colorful, feel-good anthem.
