Cyclone Music Group, in partnership with HungryBelly Records, has released Tears of Life rhythm available now on all major digital platforms.

This reggae project, featuring an international line-up, delves into themes of love, resilience, and the challenges of life, offering a soulful and uplifting musical experience. The Tears of Life rhythm features a star-studded ensemble of 10 artistes from four countries — the USA, Jamaica, Kenya, and the Bahamas. Among the standout names is Ras Shiloh, a respected artist from Brooklyn, New York, who has been away from the music forefront for some time. Ras Shiloh’s return to the scene with this project marks a significant moment in his career, reaffirming his powerful presence in reggae music. His signature style and voice bring a renewed energy to the rhythm, captivating both long-time fans and new listeners.

Also featured is Ms Cathy Matete, a talented and award-nominated artist from Nairobi, Kenya, whose remarkable voice has earned her a place among Africa’s most celebrated reggae talents. Cathy’s recent European tour has further solidified her status as an international force in the reggae genre. Her contribution to Tears of Life brings a distinct inspirational flavour, showcasing her dynamic style that has earned recognition across the globe.

The project was originally conceived as a single, Love Cry by Avaran, but evolved into a full-length album as additional artistes joined the collaboration. Alongside Avaran, the rhythm features contributions from Jamaican soulful artiste Kristine Alicia and the unique voice of the Bahamas own Jah Hem, as well as several rising talents from the Bahamas, including Aydee, Rycon and Nevandria Lyric.

The Tears of Life rhythm, produced by Preston “Cyclone” Stuart of Cyclone Music Group/Avaran Rolle of Hungrybelly Records and was mixed and mastered by Delroy “Phatta” Pottinger at Anchor Studios in Kingston, also features a special appearance from renowned saxophonist Dean Fraser, whose soulful solos provide an added layer of musical depth. The album is curated by the creative direction of both producers and blends the talents and sounds of multiple cultures to create a truly global project.
