YG Marley already had something special with the original “Praise Jah In The Moonlight,” but bringing Burna Boy onto the remix was a move that made complete sense the moment you hear it.
Two artists rooted in culture and authenticity on the same record -this one was always going to work.
The remix keeps everything that made the original connect with people in the first place. That warm, reggae-influenced sound is still very much intact, and the spiritual undertone that runs through the song has not been touched. What the remix does is add a new layer on top of a solid foundation, and that layer comes in the form of Burna Boy doing exactly what Burna Boy does best.
YG Marley carries his part of the record with the kind of easy confidence you would expect from someone with that last name. There is a natural grace in how he delivers the song, and his voice suits the material perfectly. He does not try to force anything, and the relaxed approach pays off throughout.
The production holds everything together beautifully. The moonlit, meditative quality of the beat gives both artists a comfortable space to operate in, and neither of them wastes that freedom.
“Praise Jah In The Moonlight (Remix)” is a collab that delivers on its promise. YG Marley and Burna Boy together is the kind of pairing that makes sense on paper and sounds even better in your ears. This one is on repeat.
