REGGAE artiste Kuanna is promoting her latest single Melancholy, co-produced by SoulAJoy and OneLink Production.

“There has not been much emphasis placed on positive music to impact our youth over the last few months; too many songs about scamming, too many about murder and Molly. Good music ah mek but if you nuh big inna di ting dem shut you out. But, I will not give up; righteousness exalteth the nation and wi a gwaan do di right as best as we can because wi have youth, and a dem a di future. We haffi make ah change for the better,” she declared.

“I am forever keeping it positive as best as I can; we are surrounded by so much negativity. We have to preserve the melanin, the black people; preserve the consciousness of the youth; preserve the future, strive for balance,” she continued.

Melancholy is one of the tracks on her upcoming eight-song project Love Journey, set for release on January 6, 2023.

Given name Sharnett Shereta Eccleston, Kuanna grew up in Trelawny in the small community of Deeside.

She came to prominence with the single Pedophile Warning two years ago.

Her other songs include Nuh Trust Dem and Love Divine.
