When reggae and blues collide, the result is sure to be something timeless, and such is the case with "Live to Love," a potent new single from Kingly T featuring Claudette King, the youngest daughter of the legendary B.B. King. The track is more than just a song; it is a heartfelt message for our times.
“Live to Love” melds Kingly T’s distinctive roots reggae sound with the emotion-driven vocals of Claudette King to create a sound that transcends genres and generations.
The lyrics of the song are simple, yet poignant, asking listeners to embrace love, compassion, and unity in an often-dysfunctional world. The chorus, “live to love, there will be blessings from above,” feels like a mantra and a prayer, hoping to inspire in uncertain times.
Claudette King’s vocal performance has the heaviness of her father’s legacy, while also giving a fiery, soulful performance herself. The combination of Kingly T’s uplifting rhythmic qualities and conscious songwriting brings inspiring moments of strength and a tone of vulnerability. It is a lot more than just a song. “Live to Love” feels like an inspiration, like a call to arms, an anthem for healing that reminds us all of love’s eternal power.
