Lao Ra - Body Bounce (Feat. Konshens)

Lao Ra has premiered anthemic new single ‘Body Bounce’, which is available today on Black Butter Records. Featuring Jamaican dancehall star Konshens, ‘Body Bounce’ is the first official single of a stand-out 2017 for Lao Ra, who has already opened for the likes of MØ, Crystal Fighters, Anne Marie and Rejjie Snow, topped Hype Machine and Spotify Viral Charts worldwide (surpassing 8 million plays), and earned plays across 1xtra and Radio 1. Having recently played Brighton’s Great Escape festival and kickstarted her bootleg series with ‘Bala’ (ft. Spice and Tony Montana), news of further live plans are expected soon.

‘Body Bounce’ is a riot of uplifting global-pop, fusing dancehall, reggaeton, and the shared musical spaces between Lao Ra’s background in Bogota and Jamaica’s own breakout star, Konshens. Lyrically, ‘Body Bounce’ is a defiant call to pick yourself back up again, and keep on moving. Lao Ra says:

“Body Bounce is about literally dancing your sadness away and moving on by shaking your body rather than dwelling on what went wrong. It is really a song about resilience.”

‘Body Bounce’ reaffirms Lao Ra’s innate ability to produce pop music with a lyrical sting in its tail; embracing the highs and lows of your heritage, and turning it into something unmistakeably yours. And this is
unmistakeably Lao Ra.
