Melodic Yoza‘s “Where The Love Go” strays from the conventional reggae path, opting for a more reflective and soul-tinged approach. Not your average reggae track, it weaves soul and hip-hop into its roots, forming a sound that’s both recognizable and freshly unique. The beginning is a brew of ghostly vocal sounds and guitars heavy with reverb, crafting a mood that’s both haunting and enticing. This shifts into a brighter, more hopeful soundscape, marked by rhythmic guitar strums and a solid drum and bass foundation, complemented by calming electric piano chords.
Yoza‘s vocals, relaxed yet emotionally resonant, bring a unique texture to the melody. His voice, a bit rough and deeply rooted in reggae tradition, carries an authenticity that feels novel. Instrumentally, the track is subtly complex. The guitar subtly underpins the rhythm, the percussion section drives the energy, and the keys infuse a somber mood, mirroring the track’s profound messages. In the music video, the singer wanders through the streets of a small town, milling through a sea of detached residents. His encounters, which are initially apathetic but steadily become more welcoming, spotlight the importance of community and connection. This visual element strengthens the track’s message of unity and love.
“My aim was to create a sonic experience that resonates with listeners on a deep level while also offering something new and exciting.”
