Posted 25 minutes ago by BEAT100 in Artist Feature
Based in Birmingham, UK, recent BEAT100 Ultimate Musician winners, XOVA, represent the “sound of 2013” with their modern blend of reggae vibes combined with pop, rock, ska, metal, dubstep, blues, Motown, and folk. “We are a crossover, or xova, of many genres… we definitely have that reggae flavor in our show, but we can’t pretend we come from Jamaica,” says Wayne, the band’s lead singer and guitarist, “We are heavily influenced as being from Birmingham and have grown up with a hybrid of music here, from Steel Pursle, UB40, and Pato Banton to Duran Duran and Black Sabbath.” BEAT100 members can vote for the band’s high ranking song, ‘9 Lives’, in the BEAT100 Original Music Video Chart this week while enjoying XOVA’s modern and fusion sound. Listeners will quickly find XOVA’s ‘9 Lives’ captivating, as Wayne’s distinguishing vocal performance resonates with the band’s pop and reggae vibe, which features trombone and brass to add additional color throughout. “We love to rock out with a reggae vibe,” says Wayne, “I think reggae is evolving and is being fused more and more into pop, reggae, ska, and even metal.”
