The rich reggae-infused styles of Steve Wilks’ Iona will burrow deeply into the minds and hearts of listeners. A smart production allows the distinct elements of the track to shine, whether it is the thick and ropy backing beat, Wilks’ main lyrics, or the additional female vocal accompaniment.
A bit of rap-styled patios is enough to keep the momentum of Iona high, while the repetition of the hook imbues a certain brightness to the days of anyone fortunate enough to listen in. Iona is a timeless effort that speaks to the youth of day as well as older generations through a deft blend of styles and sounds into an infectious melody.
