Sugar Bana’s mournful fixation on his latest single, “Pull Up”, makes it hardly seem fit for dance music. But with the deft production from Mike Misan and Cracker Mallo, lifting his misty vocals into house and techno firmament, his romantic lyrics are flushed in dance music’s rosy glow.

While his lyrics switch from English, Patois and Yoruba, his tempo and rhythmic cadence never stray outside of the Reggae trope. As he sings “Baby Girl, Because You Hold Me Down/ Girl I Promise That I’d Never Let You Down”, “Pull Up” glistens as theme music for the pleasant moments in relationships.
