In a bold move to diversify his musical appeal, veteran reggae artist Michael Dawkins has ventured into uncharted territory with his latest EP, ‘Long For Brighter Views.’ Known for his roots-reggae and lovers rock repertoire, Dawkins collaborated with fresh talent to craft a sound that blends pop, Afro Beat, R&B, and reggae elements. The EP, initially released in April by Sony Music’s subsidiary Orchard, faced distribution challenges, prompting Dawkins to switch to DistroKid, which re-released a remastered version in May.
