IT’S A PART OF LIFE: BERES HAMMOND CAPTURES THE HUMAN JOURNEY
Beres Hammond opens a fresh chapter with It’s a Part of Life, produced by Shane Brown for Jukeboxx Productions and released via VPAL Music. The single reflects on hardship while holding close the strength needed to keep moving. It follows Love Story, his duet with Tanya Stephens, which united two of reggae’s most treasured voices on record for the first time.
Hammond’s delivery makes the track feel lived-in. His voice, carrying both intimacy and resilience, takes the listener into the heart of lovers rock, where vulnerability meets courage. The message is simple yet resonant: life’s struggles are inevitable, but so is the will to rise.
This release comes after his Forever Giving Thanks Tour, where audiences across continents were reminded why Hammond’s presence continues to define reggae stages.
LIFE’S STRUGGLES ARE INEVITABLE, BUT SO IS THE WILL TO RISE
Hammond has also announced the 2026 Love and Harmony Cruise, set to feature Tanya Stephens, Maxi Priest, Marion Hall, and more. The cruise promises nights of storytelling and soulful connection across the Caribbean.
Across decades of shifting sounds in lovers rock and roots reggae, Hammond has remained a singular figure. His songs carry longing and endurance while extending warmth across generations. With It’s a Part of Life, he adds another timeless chapter to a body of work rooted in passion and grace.
