Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley Covers George Harrison’s 'My Sweet Lord'

07/28/2023 by Reggaeville

Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley is back with a new single, highlighting his interpretation of a timeless classic of George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord. Marley’s rendition of My Sweet Lord is said to capture the essence of the original while blending it with his own reggae-infused style, creating a fresh and captivating musical experience.

The song, My Sweet Lord, is a cover of Harrison’s classic hit from his 1970 album All Things Must Pass. Marley puts his own spin on the spiritual anthem, giving the track a fresh sound with his signature reggae style and soulful vocals.

It is his first solo release since 2019, and in the interim Damian has been focused on production, including the Grammy winning Kabaka Pyramid album The Kalling.

Marley chose to cover My Sweet Lord because of its timeless message and its relevance to the current state of the world. Showcasing his distinctive sound and artistry, Marley adds to his repertoire of collaborating with music legends such as Mick Jagger and forming the group SuperHeavy. The single's release date, July 28th, coincides with the 52nd anniversary of Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh, the first major benefit concert in history, which raised funds and awareness for the humanitarian crisis in Bangladesh. Marley hopes that his single will also inspire people to support causes that are close to their hearts and make a positive difference in the world.
