Irie Love and MediSun Unite for Rub-a-Dub Single Love Reggae

Parisian producer Bost & Bim brought together Hawaiian reggae vocalist Irie Love and modern reggae artist MediSun for "Love Reggae," a digital single released through The Bombist that wears its 80s and 90s dancehall influences openly on its sleeve.

The track's most striking move is its chorus, which draws directly on Buju Banton's melody from his classic "Murderer," layered over a Bost & Bim recut of Barrington Levy's instrumental from that same song. According to the SoundCloud description, Irie Love and MediSun cover Banton's melody "positively," framing the single as both an ode to reggae and an explicit tribute to the rub-a-dub era. It is the first time Bost & Bim have brought the two vocalists together in the studio.

Production credits are thorough. Bost handled all instruments himself, except drums by Thomas Join-Lambert and guitars by Thomas Broussard. Bost also mixed the track, Simon Capony mastered it at Basalte Studio, and the artwork was handled by Neasso.

Bost & Bim are not a small name to drop here. The Ile-de-France duo are Grammy-winning producers, taking home the Grammy Award in 2016 for Morgan Heritage's "Strictly Roots" and earning nominations in 2018 for both Chronixx's "Chronology" and Morgan Heritage's "Avrakedabra." They lost one half of their partnership in 2016 with the death of Jérémie Dessus, known as Bim.

Irie Love, tagged on SoundCloud as the "queen of Hawaiian reggae," has been putting out singles since at least 2010, when she released "Losing You" featuring J Boog. Her catalog runs through to 2023's "In Another Life (Afrobeat Remix)." MediSun is described on the same platform as a "rising star of modern reggae," and the Reggaeville listing credits the release as "Irie Love x MediSun x Bost & Bim - Love Reggae," giving all three equal billing.

The single clocks in at three minutes and is available as a digital download on Bandcamp for a minimum of €1.50 EUR, with streaming also available. Apple Music lists the release date as March 6, 2026, which aligns with the MediSun ADD/Reggaeville listing, though the release was also circulating on March 13, 2026. It is available globally across Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America on Apple Music, and is featured on the platform's Worldwide Riddim and Apple Music Reggae playlists.

For a three-minute single, "Love Reggae" carries a serious amount of lineage in a compact space.
