Jaygo drops new lovers’ rock single ‘I Want You’

Recording artiste Jaygo has used his Caribbean flavour and love for Jamaican music to inspire his new single titled I Want You.

The Antigua-bred talent, who has spent more than four years in Jamaica finishing his tertiary education, is currently enrolled at the Norman Manley Law School in St Andrew.

Jaygo is utilising the prime opportunity of being in the birthplace of reggae and dancehall to inspire himself and to create new material. I Want You is his first venture into the reggae-lovers' rock genre, and he believes it is a quality production with a distinctive sound.

"This song was inspired by the vibes of Jamaican culture.

"You really have to be here to experience the essence of the culture flowing through the music," Jaygo explained.

I Want You also samples from Haiti-born Wyclef Jean's hit Two Wrongs, which was released in 2002. It was an easy choice for Jaygo, who considers the track a Caribbean-inspired lovers' rock fusion. He was looking for the same vibe on I Want You. The single was recorded using live instruments and produced by Jamaican labels I & I Records and Block 17 Productions.

"The live instrumentation makes the vibe so much more intense, and the lyrical content connects with the masses on a personal level. Most of us can relate to falling in love and experiencing heartbreak," Jaygo added.

An official music video for I Want You is also being done.
