Shaggy, Super Cat & Maxi Priest Make it a Night Flight!

Traveling as much as you do, you know that daytime travel is hectic; families with crying children want to get to their destination faster (and sometimes to the annoyance of fellow travelers), people talking on their phone at volumes that are offensive, and, airport staff are irritable because they have to deal with stressed out passengers which combined makes daytime travel hard, until you take a “Night Flight!”

Evening travel means less traffic, a relaxed experience, and most times going to an exotic destination with your honey according to Shaggy, Maxi Priest and Super Cat!

Super Cat Sing-Jays:  “I say the Dada have to leave her pon a late flight / a late flight / pon a late flight / fih go ram dih Reggae music Dancehall til it ram tight / ram tight / till it ram tight / and mih movin like a jack and mih tell yuh inna dih dark night / dih dark night / inna dih dark night / sippin on some Chardonay ….”

This HOTTT new Lover’s Rock chune is set at 90 BPM and has a groove that you can’t help but sway to as you look your lover in the eye while drinking wine.  Produced by Sting International Productions, and with contributions from Sly & Robbie and Lenky Marsden, this is a definite must add to your playlist, but only if you’re a Lover!
