‘Cherry on Top.’ The Jamaican singer and songwriter Naomi Cowan mixes pop, R&B, and reggae in her new album, Welcome to Paradise. Produced by the British DJ (and reggae aficionado) Toddla T, this track blends in ska horns and some one-drop rhythm for a dreamy recollection of a sound the world heard from Bob Marley in the 1960s and ‘70s.
What’s one-drop rhythm?
