GLOBAL STREET ANTHEM: A!MS, JULIAN MARLEY & ANTAEUS BRING LIGHT & LOVE

A!MS steps boldly into the global arena with Light & Love—a dynamic collaboration featuring reggae royalty Julian Marley and South London’s genre-blurring voice, Hypertone.

Produced by Grammy-winning Antaeus, the single is a striking blend of digital dancehall and Mediterranean textures, with A!MS’ bouzouki riffs adding to the heavyweight fusion.

More than a showcase of cross-border talent, the track is an anthem of resistance and spiritual grounding. Marley’s earthy hook—“God works miracles that you deserve / Long life / Good light / And love”—floats over rhythmic urgency.

A!MS’ verses, filled with unflinching honesty, push back against a world that seeks division.

The video, directed by Walkmns, matches the energy: sweat, soul, and movement across sun-bleached landscapes. Co-written with Alika, Light & Love marks the first offering from Peak Season (due July) and is already under consideration for a Grammy in the Best Global Music Performance category.

Call it global street, call it resistance—but A!MS makes it sound like home.
