New song: Shaggy feat. Beres Hammond – Fight this Feeling (first single off Shaggy’s upcoming album)

New song: Shaggy feat. Beres Hammond – Fight this Feeling
Reggae heavyweights Shaggy and Beres Hammond, the King of Lovers’ Rock, have laid down a big new combination! The track, which is entitled Fight this Feeling, serenades a love that you just can’t fight, on Dennis Brown’s classic Sitting and Watching Riddim. It was produced by the legendary reggae duo Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare, with whom Shaggy has been in the studio working on his upcoming album.

The way you make me feel
From deep down in my soul
Am losing all control
Girl I can’t fight this feeling
Feel so rocked, champagne and candle light
The way you hold me tight
Girl I can’t fight this feeling

Upcoming album: Shaggy, Sly & Robbie – Out of Many, One Music
Fight this Feeling is the first track off Shaggy’s forthcoming 2013 album Out of Many, One Music, a very special roots rock reggae album that is being produced by the Riddim Twins, Sly & Robbie. The album, which is set to be released in September, will feature combinations with among others Beres Hammond, Cocoa Tea, Damian ‘Jr Gong’ Marley, Jimmy Cozier, Ne-Yo, Konshens, Chronixx and Robin Thicke.
