Jahmiel tackles tough issues in new song
In a recent release by Jamaican recording artiste Jahmiel, he tackles worldwide social issues in a creative and profound manner. The single, titled ‘We Feel The Pain’, lashes out at the constant injustice faced by people in the lower economic class.
Showing his frustration in the visuals and on the track, you hear and see Jahmiel passionately tell the people that they are living in an open prison and their lives are not a priority to governments. The single not only invites listeners to realise the struggles many face throughout the world, but Jahmiel also appeals for people to regain their power. “The system nah no heart. So me nuh wah you tek dem serious when dem talk. A better fi me and you that dem no win. Cause when dem keep we down, a we dem profit off a. No trust dem food, youth a better you go plant. Inject dem chemicals fi keep we lifespan short. The people have the power so me wah you know that. Dem plans can’t work if me and you stop,” Jahmiel sings in the song. In popular music today, tackling complex issues like class, race or the environment in a song can be a hard sell. However, Jahmiel believes that taking this step in a time of intense debate is more vital than ever. Directed by Buss Weh Films, the music video for We Feel The Pain provides a heartfelt visual of global injustice to youths, minorities, police brutality, and socio-economic injustice. Jahmiel is also seen with a rope around his neck and chains around his feet, symbolising being enslaved. You also see various cutaways of worldwide events of people suffering, 9/11 and misuse of power. At the end of the visual you will see Jahmiel removing the ropes and chains, symbolising the people regaining the power.
