YAADCORE’S ‘SITTING IN THE PARK’ MARKS A NEW CHAPTER
Under a Bordeaux sky, Yaadcore sits among the city’s quiet streets, guitar in hand, revisiting a song that has lived through generations. His take on Billy Stewart’s 1965 soul classic Sitting In The Park carries a calm spirit, blending reflection with roots rhythm. Produced by Natural High and Rory Cha, it pairs warm live instrumentation with a grounded, soulful pulse.
The video, filmed by Hunter and Rory Cha, links past and present as Yaadcore honours a tune first reshaped for reggae by Alton Ellis. His version brings a gentle authority, marking his shift from selector and deejay to expressive singer and songwriter.
EVERY NOTE BREATHES, EVERY HARMONY SETTLES INTO A GENTLE ROOTS GROOVE
With guitar by Wayne Armond and harmonies from Geddys Ferguson and Sarah Couch, the sound feels unforced and organic. Natural High’s mix keeps space for every note to breathe.
Released through 12 Yaadcore Records, Sitting In The Park opens the way for his upcoming EP. It feels like both a tribute and a statement, showing an artist rooted in reggae tradition while carving out his own quiet voice within it.
