SUN-BLESSED DEVOTION: TAFARA ILLUMINATES THE EVERYDAY WITH MORNING
Tafara returns with Morning, a soulful reggae ballad that cuts through the static of modern life. Building on the foundation laid by Selassie’s Daughter, this follow-up release feels intimate yet expansive. It is a track shaped by honesty, heritage and deep emotional clarity.
Where much of today’s love music flirts with performance, Morning embraces sincerity. Tafara gently pushes back against the surveillance and spectacle of social media, reminding us that love, when stripped of pretence, becomes something sacred.
“There’s so many rules, critics, and way too many eyes,” she says, “but when you remove yourself from the sadness of Western society, you realise how beautiful it really is all over again.”
TAFARA’S VOCALS GLIDE WITH GRACE, HOLDING SPACE FOR VULNERABILITY AND STRENGTH
Producer Ohayoxylem, returning from Selassie’s Daughter, provides a gentle pulse of bass and warm one-drop rhythm. It’s a grounded sound, reminiscent of vintage reggae cassettes, with enough breath to let the track’s message shine. Tafara’s vocals glide with grace, holding space for vulnerability and strength in equal measure.
A standout line, “Mi love yuh better when the sun rays upon mi back, oh baby please, let Jah Jah guide we,” brings everything home. Faith, connection and tenderness.
With Morning, Tafara does more than revisit reggae’s past. She offers a pathway through its future, one guided by love, clarity, and ancestral light.
