Marcia Griffiths recently teamed up with Turbulence for Time Away.

Released a week ago, Time Away is produced by Donsome Records LLC.

“I have done a lot of collaborations over the years, but this one stands out for me. Come on, this is the queen of reggae we are talking about, and the song is sweet, sexy, and relaxing. It talks about taking a break from work to be together with that special someone, and lovers who work hard can easily relate to this song,” Turbulence told the Jamaica Observer.

Turbulence shared how the idea for the song and working with Griffiths came about.

“The idea for the song came from the producer Adrian “Donsome” Hanson as he had it written down for me to sing. It is the first time in my career that I never wrote my own song, but for Marcia, I just did it that way,” he said.

“Working with Marcia, it’s like a vision that came to pass. I met her once, some time ago, and we spoke about making a song together, and Jah sent the producer to make it happen. So, to describe the feeling, it’s a great feeling,” he continued.

Griffiths was just as complimentary about collaborating with Turbulence.

“I love and respect talent and Turbulence was always one of my favourites. I love his talent and he’s so humble. So, without a doubt, I was ready for this collaboration,” said Griffiths.

“My takeaway experience from this collaboration with an artiste with talent is soulful to the music and yet with so much humility. This is a lesson for a lot of our fellow artistes to adapt. This is a love song with a beautiful message. It happens quite often that couples spend too much time working and forgetting that loved ones need some quality time together,” she added.
