about

Attraction is a fresh, summery, upbeat affair that sees Clatta channel the vibes of 90’s Lovers Rock. The instrumental arrangement is perfection: the bass drops a beat, while drums run a one drop, and keys perform the classic Reggae bubble rhythm. Gorgeous attention to detail flows – like the pleasing horn section and smooth backing vocals. The attractive chord progressions cement the sound, as does the warm and rich final mastering.

Lyrically, Clatta has delivered a well-constructed essay on spiritual love. Instead of any slackness – as some of his peers may do – here he instead portrays a narrative on true, once-in-a-lifetime love, where a spiritual and emotional connection is shared.

lyrics

Hmmmmmmm Hummmm
Hey yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hey there please let essence show
I think I know your smile
From a long long time ago
Hey there lady ah no need for us rush in
You and I we’re in good timing

I’m ready to share my heart sounds
Share my soul vibration
I’m ready give all the rhythm of my lung
All I own I’m ready to share it all with you

Under the same stars
You and I earthly stars aligned
Under the same roof
You and I the epitome of truth

War ah come bombs will fall
Nothing we can do about that at all
For as long as we’re together
We’ll survive a kingdom’s falling

It’s a fool’s errand
Trail to stop the hand of time
And it’s all so foolish to pluck your hand away from mine
No one object or not
Can stop me from giving you all I’ve got
No one can stop me from loving you
No one can stop me from giving it all to you

I’m ready to share my heart sounds
Share my soul vibration
I’m ready give it the rhythm of my lung
All I own ready to share it all with you

Under the same stars
You and I earthly stars aligned
Oh oh oh I just love the way you love me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh I just love way
Love the way you see me
