Blessings (feat. Etana)

Alborosie's song 'Blessing' is a heartfelt reggae anthem that celebrates the spiritual and divine aspect of love between two people. The repeated phrase 'Jah Jah blessing' refers to the Rastafarian belief in Jah, a term for God, and suggests that when two people love each other, it is a blessing from the divine. The lyrics emphasize the purity and sanctity of love, portraying it as a force that transcends material wealth and external pressures.

The song also touches on the theme of commitment and mutual support within a relationship. The lines 'I will be the woman to satisfy your needs' and 'you can count on me through thick and thin' express a deep sense of loyalty and dedication between partners. Alborosie and the featured artist, Etana, sing about love as a journey with many miles ahead, indicating that love is not just a fleeting emotion but a long-term bond that grows and evolves over time.

Moreover, 'Blessing' conveys a message of resilience in the face of adversity. The lyrics 'some of dem a try fi confuse your mind' and 'dem su su su cant break down love divine' suggest that external forces and gossip cannot undermine true love. The song encourages listeners to trust in their hearts and the signs that point to a love that is meant to be, enduring 'forever til the end of time.' Alborosie's musical style, with its roots in reggae, often incorporates themes of love, spirituality, and resistance, which are all present in this uplifting track.
