Eddie
Murphy unleashes the brand new video for his reggae single "Oh Jah
Jah," released by VPAL Music (VP Records' subsidiary label and
distribution arm). The critically-acclaimed track, which Huffington Post
claims "will have you jamming" and Entertainment Weekly describes as
"breezy," peaked at #1 on iTunes Reggae Single Chart and debuted in the
Top 5 on the U.S. Billboard Reggae Digital Song Chart.
Last
Friday, Extra TV gave us a sneak peek of the video, which is directed
by Richard Gumbs III and filmed at Eddie Murphy's studio in Beverly
Hills. Today, VH1 premieres the visual online, raving that the "sunny reggae track will cure all of your midweek blues."
This
is not the first time the revered comedian/actor/singer has dabbled in
the genre. "Oh Jah Jah" follows Murphy's 2013 collab "Red Light" feat.
Snoop Lion. He also teamed up with the legendary Jamaican dancehall
artist Shabba Ranks on his 1993 track "I Was A King."
Fans
can expect more reggae collaborations from Eddie Murphy this year. He
recently teamed up with Jamaican dancehall icon Beenie Man on his next
single, which is slated for release this spring.
