“I wanted a deejay on this song to give it that excitement and the energy, and put that dance vibe in it. But, as Bulby explained, it could easily not have happened. Notably, this is the first time that Cliff, Capleton and Bounty are performing on the same track, and although Bulby had to carefully strategise to bring his vision to reality, he is confident that it was well worth the effort. Humanitarian is a reworking of an original Jimmy Cliff song, from his 1999 album of the same name.

The message of Humanitarian will allow people to know that even though they are struggling at this very moment with uncertainty and chaos, they will not forget their humanity,” Bulby told The Gleaner. Listening to this song will certainly create a calming effect to the people of the world who are anxious and fearful. “ Humanitarian is a song made to provide comfort and hope to the mind, body, and soul. A collaborative single, it features Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff, Grammy award-winning artiste Bounty Killer, and multi-award winning reggae artiste Capleton. Last Friday, producer Collin ‘Bulby’ York released a single titled ‘ Humanitarian’, in recognition of the power of music, the most consumed form of culture globally, to soothe and heal, especially during these bleak times.Īn audio engineer as well as a producer who has worked with some of the huge names in the business, Bulby, a 2020 honouree of the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA), disclosed that he is thrilled about this latest project. At the end of March, the United Nations launched a US$2-billion coordinated global humanitarian response plan to fight COVID-19 in some of the world’s most vulnerable countries. Humanity has become one of the ‘now’ words as nations grapple with the invisible monster called COVID-19.
