DOUBLE TROUBLE: CHRISTOPHER ELLIS AND JESSE ROYAL IGNITE SILLY WALKS DISCO’S RIDDIM
Modern reggae royalty unite on This Love, a deeply soulful new single from Christopher Ellis and Jesse Royal. Produced by Germany’s revered Silly Walks Discotheque, it breathes fresh life into roots-infused lover’s rock. The track leads their forthcoming Double Trouble Riddim EP, built for both airplay and the dance.
Carrying the legacy of his father, the legendary Mr Soul of Jamaica Alton Ellis, Christopher delivers a silk-smooth vocal richness that honours that heritage while his own impeccable talent speaks clearly for itself.
Jesse Royal counters with gritty, punchy conviction, his conscious cadence sharpened by years at the vanguard of the reggae revival movement.

Behind the controls, Silly Walks Discotheque, one of Europe’s most trusted production houses and foundation reggae sound systems, lays down a crisp, warm rhythm section that lets both vocalists move freely over the riddim.
An official music video, shot and edited by Mirko Polo, captures the two artists in full creative flow against the Kingston backdrop that inspired the track.
Press play once, and it will follow you for days.
