GLe takes flight with ‘Summa’

The official start of summer is just two months away; however, dancehall artiste GLe gets the party started with the song titled ' Summa', which he hopes will make a huge impact.

"Besides the summer itself, the song was inspired by a conversation between my producer and I about how hot it was across the world. It is overwhelmingly hot in the peak of summer. So, listening to the rhythm, I realised that it was magnificently ideal for the thoughts I've been gathering, thinking about the hot summer," GLe explained.

There have been several summer hits through the years which have left an indelible mark on the dancehall music space. GLe said that Summa is different from the others because it brings a sense of unity and peace towards the whole summer vibe worldwide.

"It also emphasises the fun and joy that summer brings to each individual. The feedback has been phenomenally surprising because of how people have been gravitating towards not only the song, but also towards me as an emerging artiste," the Portmore-based GLe reasoned. Summa is featured on the 'Balla' rhythm, which was produced by Garfield 'RealJedii' Fishley, a Jamaican based in Miami, Florida. The project was released last December.

Other songs on the rhythm include Sugar Daddy by Future Fambo, Balla by Frassman Brilliant, Roll Out by New Kidz HD, and Bag Juice Money by King X.

"The Balla rhythm compilation juggling is actually my first full project that was released on my label, Jediimusiq; however, Summa by GLe was released on April 5 this year," said Fishley.

He added, "Getting the artistes on the project was not very difficult at all; in fact, they all were very receptive to the project. Ironically, doing the Sugar Daddy track with Fambo was an epiphany, to say the least, and the Balla track by Frassman Brilliant was just profound in how it became the signature track."
