Some say it is the profoundly touching and personal messages in Link&Chain’s music that make them gravitate towards them. Others say it is their effortless charisma and avant-garde melodies, while others maintain it is the cultural identity of this band that they can’t get enough of. Either way, all of these listeners seem to agree on Link&Chain’s wholesome lyricism, originality, and heritage, which make them love the band more and more, every day. And for a band that is as determined to uphold the cultural identity of its people as Link&Chain, you can never go wrong by stating that they are indeed one in a million, and their longevity in the music industry is a huge testament to their collectively strong and unfalteringly strong beliefs backed by an undeniably massive amount of talent.
The society we live in has been engulfed by an insatiate level of greed and corruption, and in so many instances, so many of those close proximity to power have deluded themselves, thinking that they actually wield it, feeding off the poverty, desperation, and hopefulness of those they lead. With “Leave Us Alone,” Link&Chain reminds everyone that this world belongs to us all, you and me, and that we can coexist harmoniously without one taking advantage of the other.
The lyrics are heartfelt as the band vividly paints pictures of a society drenched in insatiable greed, hopelessness and desperation and the vital need for it to be emancipated from it all. The memorably beautiful and unforgettable chorus encapsulates the track’s thematic essence vividly.
The track’s groove is catchy, laid-back, yet danceable, with a solid bass that drives the rhythm forward, guitars and keys that underscore the track’s signature reggae melodies. On the mic, the lead vocalist’s immensely expressive vocals are backed by sweet-soundingly mellifluous vocals, creating a sonic unity of sorts that leaves an indelible imprint on a listener’s heart and mind.
“Leave Us Alone” is a magnificent reggae anthem that hits so close to home thanks to its powerful lyrics that address social issues and political struggles while calling for unity and tolerance.
It’s about that time that you get to meet your new favorite reggae anthem. Enjoy!
