Veteran reggae crooner Richie Stephens dropped his latest music video on Friday (November 5) saying he was proud of the final product that will help generate support for the song.

Crazy, described as an upbeat dancehall-tinged, Latin, Afrobeat single, comes on the heels of his 14-track disc titled Mother & Son that was released on Pot of Gold & Dubshot Records.

Produced by Shaka Pow of Jamaica-based Outfytt Records and Chris Thomas of I.W.A.A.D Music in New York, Crazy was released in early September and made an immediate impact in the ethnic market, enjoying generous rotation on stations in Jamaica, the USA, Canada and the UK. 

The video, meanwhile, was directed by Xtreme Arts and features Dance Xpressionz, a professional dance company which since its inception, has won over 20 medals and national trophies and over 15 major awards, including dance group of the year and best international dance group.

“I feel very satisfied with this new track and I am equally proud of the music video which will help to further galvanise support for the song,” Stephens said. 

Video aside, Stephens has been keeping busy with several philanthropic projects.

Just recently, he was a guest performer on events for the Ardenne Alumni Association in Atlanta; the Knox College Alumni in New York and the Godfrey Stewart Alumni, also in New York.

He was also a guest speaker and performer on ‘Celebrating the West Indian Spirit- Kitchen Table Talk’ a virtual event hosted by the American Friends of the University of the West Indies (AFUWI) that raised more than US$40,000 for final-year students at the University of the West Indies for academic year 2021-2022.

“I felt honoured to have been invited by AFUWI to help raise funds for UWI students, who desperately need assistance,” Stephens said.

“These students will be the doctors, lawyers, engineers and nurses of tomorrow.”
