A!MS, Julian Marley & Antaeus spark a global fire with “Light & Love”

If there’s a soundtrack of cultural unity for 2025, A!MS just released it, and it’s named “Light & Love.” “Light & Love” is a passport chock-full of the sounds of reggae icon Julian Marley, Grammy-winning producer Antaeus, and genre fusion outfit Hypertone. But in its very soul, this song is A!MS in full flight, carving out his lane of sound in the guise of “Global Street,” a genre that does not so much cross as redefine borders. Constructed on a magnetic fusion of dancehall kick, reggae heat, and streetwise swagger, “Light & Love” plays like a sunrise on the move.

At play in this one is a thick spiritual thread through Julian Marley’s signature vocal style, rooting the track in heritage and healing. Meanwhile, A!MS puts his outsider energy right up front, a mix of digital-era adaptability and the pulse of real-world struggle and celebration. It’s Antaeus and Hypertone holding it down and a strong showing production-wise that hits hard but leaves enough space for the message to breathe. On a planet divided more than ever, “Light & Love” not only calls for hope, it oozes it. As its name suggests, the track is already throwing a broad glow. An extensive campaign for “Light & Love” is storming through the digital jungle, the airwaves, club speakers, and festival stages and the message is alive in real time.

But it is not just the rollout that makes it stick, it is the soul. It’s a mashup of cultures, of philosophies, of worlds. A!MS refers to it as “Global Street,” and “Light & Love” is its flag in the sand. Few tracks manage to marry message and movement so effortlessly. It smacks you at your head and your heart and your hips all at once. From Kingston to Cyprus, London to Lagos, “Light & Love” is not bound to a place but rather meets you where you’re at and takes you someplace else.
