Laygus scores with ‘You’re Right For Me’

Recording artiste Laygus tries something different with his new song, ' You're Right for Me'.

The artiste, who recently signed to Bowen-Seales Entertainment, hails the latest effort as an exciting foray into Afrobeats. Dedicated to his wife, the steamy love song arrived on International Lover's Day, April 23.

"Yeah man, You're Right For Me showcases my growth and another side of Laygus that most people don't know....until now," the artiste said.

A proud Kingstonian, Laygus was born Sadeki Chin. He grew up with a great sense of African pride and was even given an African, specifically Swahili and Arabic, first name. As fate would have it, Laygus developed a penchant for African music.

"I chose the Afrobeats format because of my love for African music and culture," said Laygus. "Inevitably, their culture is a reflection of my people and culture. I feel right at home. I'll go ahead and say, it's in the DNA."

Laygus anticipates great things for You're Right For Me and his new musical approach. Committed to sharing positive music with the universe, love is the central theme of the single, hence the reason to release it on April 23.

"I want this record to invoke feelings of love, especially a sense of love for your special person," said Laygus. "Upon listening, everyone should be proud of their partner, even if it's for the smallest thing, which they might often overlook."

Laygus and Bowen-Seales Entertainment share a common vision for the single. They believe the song's vibe, organic fusion of Afrobeats and dancehall, and Laygus' impressive vocals are a perfect recipe for international attention. Adding to the allure of Laygus is his songwriting and production experience, which he said gives him a better understanding of musical elements, including frequency, keys and tones.

Ahead of its release, the song had already garnered a buzz among local and international DJs.

"I dream big...it's the only way to dream. I am claiming prestigious awards in advance, humbly. I think You're Right For Me is something special," said Laygus.
