The Grammy-winning performer is no stranger to the big stage, but for her next tour in support of her debut album, Koffee is heading to North America.
The 21-year-old reggae and dancehall performer was just a musical guest on The Tonight Show earlier this month, and this is one of her first public performances for her single “Pull Up,” which was released earlier this month as part of her album promotion.
With a live set by Deejay sensation Chromatic Live and a variety of support dancers, Koffee’s performance lasted 3:30 minutes. The artist is dressed in camouflage loose cargo trousers, a matching colored puffer jacket, and a loose white T-shirt on the inside.
I was so moved by the first few seconds of witnessing Jamaican culture represented on one of America’s most popular talk shows. It reminds me of di dancing dem weh keep dung ere to see di selector pull up di tune and a reply. On YouTube, one of Koffee’s admirers stated, “Dem cyaa comprehend weh she a seh, but di vibes de dere.”
This song hasn’t grown on me yet, but I’m proud of how far she’s come; it’s like yesterday when I first heard it on the radio. I adore her music and how pure, inspiring, and enjoyable it is. People don’t realize that music’s integrity should be preserved for future generations. We can only get TIMELESS music this way. “I hope her label doesn’t pull the “good girl gone bad” thing with her,” the fan wrote. “No slackness, just a positive message or pure feelings (ie: Vybz Kartel – Coloring This Life) I hope her label doesn’t pull the “good girl gone bad” thing with her.”
“Before any of you knew Koffee, I knew Koffee.” Another fan said, “I’m stupidly proud of her, I’m yelling.”
RCA Records and Sony Music UK will release ‘Gifted’ on March 25. Her reggae Grammy-winning EP Rapture, which features singles like “Lockdown” and “West Indies,” preceded the release of her debut album.
