SINGER RAS BOGLE RELEASES HIS LATEST SINGLE “LOVE CONNECTION!”

A regular at dancehall events, Ras Bogle has seen many songs break in that arena long before finding favor on the airwaves. The dreadlocked singer says once a song has the right ingredients, sometimes it does not need extensive radio play to become a hit.

That’s how he feels about Love Connection, his new song, produced by Ray Yard Records. Scheduled for release on September 9, Ras Bogle says it is already creating a buzz because it has the ingredients required for a dancehall smash.

“Di uptempo riddim have a lot to do with it ‘cause dat trigger a vibes in people. Yuh have song dat bus’ inna di dancehall before it get radio play. When it bus’ in di dancehall, it’s like a wave…a tsunami!” he exclaimed.

Love Connection is Ras Bogle’s first song for 2022. It has a pop-reggae feel which he believes can help him reach younger fans as well as his contemporaries.

Staying current, he added, is critical to staying relevant in a competitive genre.

“I keep up with di young people. It makes no sense living in dis world an’ being oblivious,” said Ras Bogle, who is from the rugged community of Compound in Kingston, Jamaica’s capital.

His career actually started just over 10 years ago while he was living in Philadelphia. Stay Far, the first song he recorded, was done for Global Life Records, based in that city.

Back in Jamaica, Ras Bogle has done songs with various producers such as Yard Man for Kirk Bennett. In 2021, he released three songs including Overcome and I’m Alright.
