Calm Dung Yuh Nerves, a compelling single by OutAroad.com Break Out Artiste for the Month of July, Bescenta, is testimony of where reggae music should be heading.
Arguments have constantly been ‘thrown about’ that reggae and dancehall music has been on the decline in terms of quality, creativity and the message portrayed. On the track, Calm Dung Yuh Nerves, Bescenta did not replicate the negative messages sung by his peers in the local dancehall arena, instead he spits some positive lyrics.
With most of our young and upcoming artistes preaching violence, it is a reprieve to know that there are still a few positive thinking ones in the lot. The song Calm Dung Yuh Nerves speaks against violence and Bescenta’s vocals harmonizing with the rhythm as he preaches such a positive message will undoubtedly draw the listener closer.
The message from Calm Dung Yuh Nerves is one where the artiste is asking the youths, who have been exposed to lots of violence in one way or the other, to simply calm and look towards something uplifting. The title of the song aptly supports its lyrical content, as Bescenta sings of too much bloodshed.
The composition of the song is also commendable with it having an attracting introduction and verses that speaks volume as they embrace the title of the song. Strong choruses are ones that are catchy and at the same time meaningful. Bescenta’s chorus in Calm Dung Yuh Nerves possesses these traits.
Calm Dung Yuh Nerves has a true Rastafarian feeling to it. It is the type of song that will make a Peter Tosh proud to be one of the forefathers of reggae music.
OutAroad.com gives Bescenta a 4.25 stars out of 5 for the single Calm Dung Yuh Nerves, and commends the artiste for the positive message and his soothing delivery.
