FEMALE dancehall artiste Tiana has teamed up with Canadian musician Jesse Giddings to record the single Back To Me.

The track was produced in March by Kemar ‘Flava’ McGregor and was influenced by Celine Dion’s It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.

“The moment I heard the track, I fell in love with it,” said Tiana. “I knew I had to give it a smooth reggae vibe, instead of the usual hardcore dancehall style. The lyrics were intentionally written to give you that happy feeling and the desire of wanting to have someone. Back To Me will definitely be a favourite among teenagers,” she said.

Giddings, who has played with indie bands Swingset Champion and We Shot the Moon, is currently working on his solo album. He said he enjoyed working on the single.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of reggae music,” said Giddings. “I grew up on the west coast of Canada, spending most of my days at the beach and travelling up and down the American coast surfing, so reggae has always been a part of that culture and my life, and it has influenced me greatly. It has always been my goal to infuse my music with the spirit and vibe of reggae.”
