Simply in time for Empress Menen Day, as we speak April 3, 2025, reggae artists Isha Bel and Miriam Simone launch the official music video for “Sister Sister” — a heartfelt anthem devoted to energy, unity, and womanhood.
Shot throughout Jamaica — in August City, Hellshire, and Bob Marley Seaside — the visuals replicate the guts of the music: tradition, ancestry, and solidarity. Directed by Gameface and edited by Isha Bel herself, the video brings the message to life in an sincere and highly effective method.
However that is greater than a launch — it’s a motion. “Sister Sister” can be the theme music for the Indigenous Motherhouse Basis, led by Miriam Simone to uplift girls worldwide. Co-directed by Isha Bel, the music and visuals replicate the mission: actual voices, actual energy.
Talking with World A Reggae, Isha Bel shared how the observe got here to life:
“Miriam Simone and I’ve been mates for the previous decade, and ‘Sister Sister’ is a testomony of that friendship. The thought for the music took place in 2020. She was right here in Jamaica to launch her EP, and on the day earlier than she went again, we have been on the studio—simply in a vibration, reasoning, harmonizing like we do. Out of that second, the concept for ‘Sister Sister’ got here to being. It was a divine second.”
Whereas the music didn’t get recorded immediately due to a couple delays, the imaginative and prescient remained sturdy.
“In 2021, in the course of the pandemic, she was at my home and we have been in vibration once more. I had some rhythms I’d been constructing with totally different musicians, and he or she began vibing on them. We began writing songs collectively, and from that second, the concept for a full EP got here to life—with Sister Sister as the primary single.”
Manufacturing for the observe got here full circle in 2024, when Isha introduced a crew of musicians into the studio.
“I took Ian on Bass, Bubbla on Keys, Marlon on drums, and Gibby on Guitar. We recorded the rhythm, and a number of the further recordings have been completed by Cali Bud at Bobby DIgital’s Studio and the blending by one other feminine, Tandra Jhagroo, in Shaggy’s studio. Now we’re doing the ultimate touches for the complete EP, which is able to drop later this yr. Sister Sister is born out of friendship, A Pure Vibration.”
Produced by Kalinga Data and Dredda Data, the observe options Jamaican greats like Franklyn “Bubbla” Waul, Gibby Morrison, Ian Knight, Junior Congo, and Sheldon Bernard.
