Skip Marley Celebrates Legacy and Resilience in New Music Video, “In Our Sight”
KINGSTON, JAMAICA – September 19, 2024 – Skip Marley has released the official music video for his latest single, “In Our Sight,” filmed on location in Jamaica. The track, produced by Supa Dups, is a powerful anthem of unity and perseverance, carrying forward the Marley family’s reggae tradition while forging a connection between generations.
“In Our Sight” draws a direct line to reggae’s history, sampling Al Green’s “Love and Happiness” - a song famously reinterpreted by Dennis Brown in his iconic “Westbound Train” riddim. This sonic bridge underscores Marley’s commitment to honoring the foundations of the genre as he expands its reach. The song’s message of strength and hope resonates deeply with Marley’s artistic vision.
“What [do] I want people to take from this video? Strength,” marley stated in a press release. “I want you to feel not defeated. I want you to feel like all things [are] possible through the powers of the Most High.”
Def Jam Recordings’ Kardinal Offishall highlighted the significance of the musical lineage, noting, “Skip Marley singing over a foundation D. Brown sample makes it every true reggae lover’s dream, bringing the generations together in a 2025 style.”
The release of ”In Our Sight” follows a series of intentional releases from Marley this year, including the ”Close (Remix)” featuring Masicka and DING DONG in February. He previously released the full-length project Higher Place in 2020, which included the hit single “Slow Down” with H.E.R., as well as collaborations with Rick Ross, Ari Lennox, Bob Marley, and Damian Marley. The album was expanded on its first anniversary with remixes featuring Davido and Oxlade, and a dub version of “Make Me feel.”
