SunDub Teams With HIRIE's Trish Jetton on New Single

SunDub dropped "Don't Let Me Down" on April 3, pairing Brooklyn vocalist Joanna Teters with HIRIE's Trish Jetton in the first preview of a full-length album due later this spring. The lovers-rock duet is available now on Bandcamp with lossless download options, and getting in early on Bandcamp is the clearest way to support the release before the wider album push arrives.

Jetton's path to this recording is as global as reggae itself. Born Patricia Jetton in the Philippines to a British UN-worker father and a civil-engineer mother, she spent her childhood moving between the Philippines, Italy, and the island of Oahu, where Hawaiian reggae culture converted her entirely. She eventually settled in San Diego and built her HIRIE project into one of the most recognizable female-fronted acts on the U.S. circuit, breaking through nationally with 2016's Wandering Soul and following it with 2019's Dreamer. She has played BottleRock Napa Valley and holds a fanbase that runs from the Hawaiian circuit through Southern California and well beyond.

SunDub brings its own considerable resume. The collective, formed in New York City in 2013, is a multiracial, multigenerational outfit rooted in family: Joanna Teters shares the core lineup with her brother Ben Teters, who plays drums and percussion on the single. The band has released three albums, Burden of Love (2019), Spirits Eat Music (2022), and Brooklyn Riddim (2025), with the three records collectively reaching millions of listeners worldwide. The guest ledger reads like a who's-who of roots reggae: Peetah Morgan, Lutan Fyah, Sister Nancy, The Meditations, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Easy Star All-Stars, and Coolie Ranx have all appeared alongside the group.

The production is handled entirely in-house and in Brooklyn. Sidney Mills and Ben Teters produced the track; Matthew Peiffer mixed it at Thump Recording Studios; Josh Pleeter handled mastering. Mills carries particular international weight here as a former long-serving member of Steel Pulse, the Birmingham, UK roots outfit whose influence on global reggae remains very much alive. The full-band recording places Eric Toussaint alongside Mills on keyboards, Derrick Bourne on bass, and Finnegan Singer and Jose Lopez on guitars, with Teters and Jetton sharing lead and background vocal duties throughout.

The Bandcamp entry describes the track as "extremely catchy" and positions it firmly in lovers-rock territory, melodic and polished enough to reach listeners well outside the roots-purist lane. It's built for a spring outdoor wedding ceremony or as the first record dropped at a backyard session when you want to warm the crowd before anything heavier hits the speakers.

SunDub ran the same album-launch strategy for Spirits Eat Music in 2022, leading with "Jump And Dance" featuring Lutan Fyah before the full release landed. That playbook has clearly become a signature move. With the full spring 2026 album still on the horizon, "Don't Let Me Down" is the opening signal, and it pairs two of the U.S. scene's strongest female voices on a track that sounds ready for any stage either of them has played.
