Mystic Marley teams up with Armanii for surprise bollab

Reggae singer Mystic Marley has teamed up with rising Dancehall artiste Armanii for a surprise collaboration titled “Homies,” released on Friday, November 13.

The flirtatious duet explores the blurred lines between friendship and romance, capturing the emotions and uncertainty that arise when a close connection develops into something more.

Blending English and Jamaican patois, the two artistes exchange verses from their respective perspectives, expressing their growing attraction while questioning where the relationship is heading.

For Mystic, the collaboration reflects her interest in exploring relationships and the complexities of changing emotions through music. Her sound combines Reggae and Dancehall influences with contemporary R&B, Pop and Hip-Hop, shaped by her upbringing in Miami.

The young singer has previously cited Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu and Rihanna among the artistes who have influenced her songwriting, particularly their emotional honesty and vulnerability.

Speaking about her songwriting approach, Mystic highlighted the different emotions she brings into her music. “You can hear the different sides of my personality: witty, sarcastic, very emotional,” Mystic explained. “The essence of the project is expressing the different feelings that you experience in relationships.”
