NESTA heats the global scene with "Be My Love"

NESTA's "Be My Love" bursts forth like a balmy Caribbean wind, soulful, sultry, and steeped in feeling. A rising Caribbean-American artist from Queens, N.Y., he pairs Lovers Rock reggae with the sensitive honesty of contemporary soul to create a song that somehow feels both personal and global. The point, then, of releasing the music is to build actual momentum in advance of the remix and to introduce the world to NESTA not just as a vocalist, but as a voice, an updated storyteller attuned to Caribbean rhythm, yet reaching across every last one of its borders. 

"Be My Love" is more than a song; it's a slow-burning invitation. On the first note, NESTA's sultry voice smooths itself over a rhythm that's part island heartbeat, part late-night R&B pulse. It's prime Lovers Rock, with that timeless reggae lilt, but grounded in the emotional textures of today, evoking the likes of Brent Faiyaz or Chronixx. It's the type of sound that doesn't shout for notice yet easily commands it: sleek, seductive, and emotionally raw.

What makes NESTA special is its respect for the roots of reggae, while also driving the sound forward. There's a spiritual richness to the very title of "Be My Love," a sentiment of yearning that reaches beyond words and worlds. It's the sort of track that might marinate just as well on a beach in Jamaica as it could in a London cafe or a Parisian lounge set. 

This record is already gaining traction worldwide, and an eagerly awaited remix and video featuring UK rap virtuoso Wretch 32 is set to be released on August 1st. And ahead of that collab, this single feels like the bridge between soulful island vibes and lyrical grit that's poised to move it even further across the map. So, whether you're throwing together a playlist, queuing up on the radio, or simply fishin' for that perfect globetrotting groove to be the soundtrack to your balmy summer nights, "Be My Love" is a go-to for repeat plays. With its honest-to-god warmth and universal appeal, NESTA has alighted on something timeless, and he's just getting started.
