A love song from Robert Ffrench

Reggae singer Robert Ffrench tells a compelling love story in his latest single, Everyday of My Life.

"This is a straight up love song, a single about the power of commitment in a time when relationships seem so short-lived," Ffrench said.

"This song surrounds a lifelong commitment like promising a girl to love her the rest of life, basically like a marriage. It's an experience that most people can relate to," the singer added.

The single was released on the VP and MRE labels on September 2. Ffrench is pleased with the initial reaction to the song.

"Everyone who has heard the song on local radio loves it, I've been getting great feedback through social media. The response has been so positive that we are putting a video together this month," he said.

Ffrench plans to release a six-track EP later this year. The project will include Black is a Colour, She Ready Now and Every Time I Wake Up.

"I love songs like Black is a Colour because it is a challenge to my brothers and sisters to show me just how black you are, how much you recognise that the fight against oppression is not over," he said.

Ffrench is known for singles such as Modern Girl which was a massive reggae hit in 1986. He also scored a radio hit with the self-produced Bun and Cheese, featuring deejay Clement Irie in the early 1990s. Other hit songs include What More Do You Want, Ruff And Tuff and On The Dance Floor, which soared up local charts and made him one of the top lovers rock singers of the 1980s.
