Coconut Rootz settles into a slow reggae groove on “Where My Heart Is,” the fifth track on the self-titled album.
At four minutes and two seconds, it is one of the longest songs on a 17-track project that mostly stays between two and a half and three and a half minutes. The tempo is around 73 beats per minute, which gives the song a relaxed, rolling feel. Benson Ainebyona wrote, composed, and produced it, so the whole sound comes from one creative source. The lyrics are in English, and the reggae style stays warm and unhurried. Listeners also get plenty of space to hear the vocals, because nothing crowds the mix.
The title speaks about home and belonging, which fits the album’s love-song mood. Other titles on the project, like “Can I Keep You,” “Take Me As Iam,” “It Never Fades,” and “Coming Home To You,” point in the same direction. So the album plays like a single story about romance, trust, and being where you want to be. Early write-ups say little about the lyric details, so the best way in is to hear the song in its album order.
The project has drawn real attention. The album has passed 850,000 plays on Audiomack, and Coconut Rootz has kept adding singles since then, including “My Everything,” “We Are 2 to 1,” “Standing Alone,” and the recent “I Know That Face.” That steady release schedule shows an artist who treats reggae as a daily practice.
For fans of gentle, love-focused reggae, this track offers a calm place to rest.
