Ziggy Marley shares new single Many Mourn For Bob, a powerful tribute to the legacy of his father, the legendary Bob Marley, released to mark what would have been his birthday on 6th February. Accompanied by a moving music video, featuring rare images from Ziggy’s childhood with his father. He also announces the new studio album ‘Brightside’, released on vinyl on 18th April and digital on 1st May.
Marley crafted ‘Brightside’, his 9th solo studio album, via a creative process which was entirely different from anything he’s done to date, both from the songwriting and technical standpoint. The album was recorded using 432Hz, a soothing sonic frequency regularly employed for meditation and other mindful practices. It brings a warm, soulful depth to the mix, which underscores the album’s healing intent.
‘Many Mourn For Bob’ marks the first time in his career that Ziggy has written and recorded an original song specifically dedicated to his father. The powerful track, rich in sentiment and deeply personal, evolved during his experience producing the fan favorite 2024 biographical film “Bob Marley: One Love.” Through that time of reflection Marley gained a newfound perspective on their personal enduring connection and the lasting global impact of his father.
Speaking about the single, Ziggy says, “‘Many mourn for Bob’ is a reflection on my father from the deepest parts of my heart and subconscious mind born from rediscovering him with new eyes.”
