LISTEN HERE
On the uplifting new track, Skip’s uniquely lilting vocal delivery glides easily over a classic reggae production, courtesy of Black Chiney Sound founder, Supa Dups. Amplifying a motivational message, the lyrics crescendo on the anthemic chorus, as Marley assures:
Side by side, victory’s in our sight
We gotta keep on believing
Don’t stop striving while our hearts still beating
Energy, inspiration, and positivity abound throughout “In Our Sight,” making it one of Marley’s most powerful songs yet. “Don’t be discouraged! Don’t be dismayed! Victory’s in our sight!” offered the young Skip, who is grandson to musical icons Bob and Rita Marley, and son to the GRAMMY® award-winning Cedella Marley.
Connoisseurs of the genre will immediately detect the familiar guitar intro that was originally played on Al Green’s “Love and Happiness,” but made popular in Jamaican culture when pioneering producers like Niney The Observer and Studio One’s Clement “Coxsone” Dodd infused it to the “Westbound Train” riddim, which featured songs by reggae giants like Dennis Brown, Jacob Miller, U-Roy, and Big Youth.
“When Skip arrived at studio that day, he instantly connected with the music and wrote the song,” shared Def Jam’s SVP of A&R, Kardinal Offishall. Kardi added “Skip Marley singing over a foundation D Brown sample makes it every true reggae lover’s dream, bringing the generations together in a 2025 style.” Equally as significant to the generational bridge is the “In Our Sight” horn refrain, which employs The Abyssinians’ brass line from their beloved “Satta Massagana,” often considered one of the blueprints for Roots Reggae.
Earlier this year, Skip served up the “Close (Remix)” joined by dancehall superstars Masicka and Ding Dong. In addition to notching nearly half-a-million streams and 400K YouTube views on the music video, it received critical acclaim from media outlets like VIBE and Global Grind, while Kaboom Magazine spotlighted the track’s “island flavor and uncontainable energy.”
Not to mention, the original “Close” was hailed by Cosmopolitan as a “pop-reggae fusion,” going on to proclaim, “His name might be Skip, but his discography has no skips.” WONDERLAND. praised,
“‘Close’ is a dance-infused, chart-leaning track, with his own spin on the original hook from Maxi Priest’s dancefloor classic ‘Close to You.'” In addition to plugs from BET and more, American Songwriter professed, “‘Close’ captures the hook from Maxi Priest’s 1990 hit “Close To You,” before breaking into a smoother reggae grind.” Moreover, the song just garnered a nomination for Outstanding International Song from the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.
Get ready for a whole lot more from Skip Marley very soon.
