El Feco building global buzz

Reggae artiste El Feco says the response to his latest single, Love Seems Far Away, has been deeply encouraging since the release of the official music video.

The track, which features international reggae crossover star Apache Indian and Jamaican vocalist Kvon Lewis, has been gaining attention online for its message of love, unity, and understanding.

“Fans have really connected with the message of the song,” El Feco said. “It is not just a love song in the romantic sense. It is about the need for more love, unity, and understanding in the world.”

According to the artiste, the collaboration has helped the single reach audiences in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Jamaica.

“Apache Indian brings that UK and international audience, Kvon represents Jamaica, and I bring my side from the US,” he said. “The message is universal.”

El Feco said working with Apache Indian was a major learning experience, describing him as an artiste who understands how to take reggae and dancehall energy to the world without losing authenticity.

“Working with him reminded me how important it is to be original, professional, and focused on the bigger picture,” he said. He also praised Kvon Lewis for bringing warmth and soul to the record.

“Kvon brought a soulful Jamaican feel that helped balance the record. His melody gave the song warmth and emotion,” El Feco said.

The artiste believes platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook have become essential tools for reggae and dancehall artistes, especially independent acts trying to reach global audiences.

“Today, social media is one of the main ways people discover music,” he said. “A song can start in one place and reach the world overnight if the people connect with it.”

Following the serious tone of Love Seems Far Away, El Feco is preparing to show a different side of his creativity with his upcoming single, Her Boyfriend’s Back.

“It tells a funny story about a man getting caught in a situation he probably should not have been in,” he said. “Dancehall has always had room for humour, storytelling, and real-life situations.”
