Check out the brand new EP “Lifted” from Romain Virgo which debuted at the number three position behind Bob Marley on the iTunes reggae chart.

The 25-year-old Jamaican singer-songwriter Romain Virgo returns with a brand new EP Lifted on Oct 30, 2015 on VP Records. Virgo unveils hope behind darkness on this conscious 8-song set filled with social commentary.

He holds strong with “God Inna Mi Corner” and weeds out fake friends on “Fade Away” featuring dancehall artist Assassin. While showcasing his dee-jay skills on the EDM-tinged reggae track “Badder Man,” he reveals the gripping realities of a rudeboy and opts for a different way of life.

“I don’t mix up with da criminal dem, me a gwan stick to mi gal dem. I don’t care who a buss this, who a buss that, me don’t want no strap,” as he sings in the song’s closing lyrics.

To pay homage to his ladies, Virgo then offers a few ballads on his EP – including his latest romancer “Stars Across The Sky,” his Sam Smith cover of “Stay With Me” (which received over 2.4 mil YouTube views for its accompanying visual) and ” Soul Provider” (racking in nearly 4 mil YouTube video views).

This will give listeners a feel of his 2016 album entitled Love Sick (VP Records), which is a heartfelt collection mostly comprised of love songs.

Lifted follows his critically acclaimed 2012 album The System, which was described as “striking” (Washington Post), “high-quality” (BBC) and “smooth and engaging” (New York Times).

Billboard also proclaimed he has “empowering messages over misogynistic and violent lyrics, intricately textured one-drop rhythms instead of frenetic digital beats” and he has “found an appreciative, multi-generational audience.”
