Four years after being certified diamond-selling in Latin America and RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) certified gold for his hit “Gyal You A Party Animal,” Jamaican dancehall artist Charly Black will return with his debut EP So Many Reasons. Today, he drops his new single “Treat” from his anticipated 5-song opus, available Feb 26, 2021 on Aftercluv, Universal Music’s Latin America dance music division. This new single release (produced by El Brujo) also arrives on the heels of Black’s guest feature with Maluma for “Love” from the Columbian pop star’s latest album.
Charly Black is no stranger in bridging the gap between the Jamaican dancehall, reggaeton and Latin trap. His forthcoming EP So Many Reasons is a culmination of Caribbean & Latin American dance showcasing their natural synergy. On the new EP, he tapped a diverse roster of talent from both worlds, including Colombian urban pop duo Cali Y El Dandee, Spanish DJ and record producer Sak Noel, Columbian superstar and songstress Greeicy, Jamaican Grammy-winning artist Sean Paul and Miami-based multi-platinum hit maker Scott Storch.
His long-standing history crossing these musical borders started when Black broke the record as the first Jamaican music artist to go diamond in Central America for “Gyal You A Party Animal.” The “King Of Reggaeton” Daddy Yankee and American-Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi both put their spin on Black’s anthem. Today, the song has almost 500 million combined Spotify streams for the original version (200m) and its remixes with Daddy Yankee (231m) and Luis Fonsi (43m). Its video is also approaching 200 million YouTube views.
Now as Charly Black readies his first body of work So Many Reasons, he pushes the boundaries once again. Whether it is intimate odes to love like his latest single “Treat,” “So Many Reasons” and “Don’t Want To Let Go” or feel-good party tracks like “Diggy Dee” and “Ravin,” every song captures the vivacious energy of the dancefloor that traverses beyond any cultural and geographical borders.
