LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s been over a decade since reggae king Buju Banton and R&B star John Legend collaborated on a song, and the Grammy winners have reunited for a new track.
Banton and Legend released the easygoing love song “Memories” on Friday. It is the first single from Banton’s upcoming album “Upside Down,” his first studio project since 2010’s “Before the Dawn.”
“This is another special one with my good friend John,” Banton said in an interview with The Associated Press this week. “We hope the masses love it.”
Legend and Banton first collaborated in 2009 on the song “Can’t Be My Lover.”
“I was so excited to collaborate with Buju on another song. He’s an icon, and this song is another classic,” Legend said in a statement.
