Aleighcia Scott's latest single, "In My Shoes," is a veritable triumph, ticking all the right boxes with finesse and flair. A slow, sensuously silky infusion of ska and reggae weaves its magic, setting the stage for a voice that's more than just captivating – it's heart-meltingly irresistible. As the notes unfurl, exquisite horns and a lush sonic landscape envelop you , each beat an embodiment of sheer quality.
The third jewel in the crown of her upcoming album with the maestro RoryStoneLove, "In My Shoes" takes Aleighcia Scott back to the roots of her music. A creation of sound system legend RoryStoneLove, the track dances along with a bounce, driven by horns that harken back to the ska-to-rocksteady era of the 1960s. A tribute to the enchantment of irresistible attraction, it gracefully salutes the musical tapestry that wove through Britain's inaugural Caribbean communities.
Aleighcia's Welsh-Jamaican heritage infuses the song with a unique charm, and her sentiment rings clear
“I absolutely loved working on this song. I love ska, and it’s important to give honor to the elements that were instrumental to creating reggae. Performing this one live is electric!"
"In My Shoes" is more than a song; it's a celebration of cultural heritage, a testament to timeless musical influences, and a promise of the auditory magic yet to come with her upcoming album, Windrush Baby.
