INNER LIGHT, DARK TIMES: WHY QUEEN IFRICA’S ‘LANTON’ FEELS TIMELY
With the soulful Lanton (Lantern), the Jamaican reggae titan Queen Ifrica delivers a stirring single, crafted alongside Kingston-based artist and producer IamNushRush as a luminous reminder that inner strength can light the darkest roads.
Arriving on Nuh Rush Records, Lanton is the first single from Queen Ifrica’s upcoming album Breath of Life. Built on a steady modern roots groove, it carries the cultural conviction and emotional depth that have long made this Montego Bay-born singer one of reggae’s most commanding voices.
TINGS GET DARK PON DI HIGHWAY, SEE MI WID A LANTON YAH
The message is simple: trust the inner light that guides you through darkness. Kingston-based producer Junior Brown, founder of Nuh Rush Records and recording as IamNushRush, frames Ifrica’s voice in a groove that pulses with unhurried authority.
Internationally known for fearless lyrics and songs that celebrate resilience and challenge injustice, Queen Ifrica consistently delivers on point. Lanton glows with that same intent. It’s a confident, compelling statement from one of reggae’s most enduring storytellers.
With Lanton lighting the way, Breath of Life can’t come soon enough.
