ECNETNews, August 29, 2024: Celebrating his 69th birthday, veteran reggae artist Beres Hammond has introduced a visualizer for his latest single, “Let Me Help You.” Released on August 28th, the visualizer complements the soulful track with a captivating visual narrative and features cameos from prominent figures in the music industry.
The visualizer, which includes concert footage and personal photos, allows fans to embark on a journey through Beres’ impressive musical career. “Let Me Help You” is a re-recording of his 1988 classic, “Let Me Help You Smile Again,” showcasing the artist’s ongoing commitment to his craft. This new version, released on May 3rd, showcases Beres’ hands-on approach as he produced, arranged, wrote, and performed this song himself, marking it as a rare addition to his extensive repertoire.
The impetus for revisiting this track came from a discussion regarding its lyrics, leading Beres to realize the original master recording was lost. Determined to revitalize the song, he collaborated with longtime drummer Kirk “Kirkledove” Bennett, who brought together an array of skilled musicians including the renowned horn player Dean Fraser. The updated rendition replaces the original’s digital elements with live instrumentation, providing a lively and fresh sound to the beloved classic.
The release of “Let Me Help You” has generated significant buzz, even earning recognition on prominent music billboards in major cities—a rarity for single releases. Beres announced the single during his anticipated annual cruise event in April, where he delighted fans with a memorable performance. Following this, he embarked on an extensive North American tour, showcasing his timeless hits and captivating stage presence in cities including New York, Toronto, Miami, and Los Angeles.
Stay tuned for updates on Beres Hammond and his impactful contributions to the reggae music scene.
