'Utopia' is the final prelude before Charlie P's new solo project, 'Roots', hits the shelves on September 13th!
The song honours his mentor, G.T. Moore, whose original version was recorded back in 1980 at Harry J’s studio in Kingston, JA—a time when G.T. was collaborating with legends like Lee "Scratch" Perry and Sly & Robbie.
Charlie P’s musical journey began under G.T.’s guidance, learning the ropes of the studio and performing live. His soulful vocals are accompanied by beautiful, soothing instrumentation performed by a live reggae band. The introspective lyrics embrace life's simple truths, guiding listeners through rich sounds and towards a state of utopia.
