Listen to Eddie Murphy's New Reggae Single

Some of you may be too young to remember this, but back in 1985, Eddie Murphy and Rick James collaborated on a song called "Party All The Time" which became a massive hit. I still occasionally listen to that song (it's super catchy!), and now it appears that I'll have another Murphy track to jam along with - only this one has a much different vibe to it. Murphy has released a new reggae single (via The Dissolve) called "Oh Jah Jah."

The actor/musician spoke a bit about the song with the Associated Press:

"I was watching CNN about two or three months ago and all this craziness was going on with the terrorism and chopping off people's heads and then St. Louis, Ferguson. A bunch of police brutality going on (at the) same time and I had that progression, but I didn't have any lyrics, but I had that groove," he said. I'd been playing that progression for about a month and then I was watching the news and it all came together one day."

Take a listen below, and then at the very bottom, take a trip back to 1985 and get a load of the video for "Party All The Time." What do you think?
