The new single –
a cuddlesome after-hours romance fantasy – features Patra's first collaboration with acclaimed
reggae producer Kemar 'Flava' McGregor,
combining aphrodisiacal sensuality with a pop-reggae production sound.
“The concept of this song is all about love, and as
a woman, you have to demand what you need in the bedroom and anywhere else,”
said Patra. “This song is written to create tender vibes to love making - so
it's an irie thing.”
For Patra, the recipe for sensual reggae is quite
straightforward – a high-quality musical track with a deep, sexy bass groove,
which inspires Patra to conjure her honest affinities for romance into
lyrical and melodic offerings for loving couples.
“I want my fans to relax and enjoy what I have to
offer, which is good music, and ‘Don't Leave Me Lonely’ puts them right in that
mood,” said Patra. “For me, sexiness is a habit! And how I feel inside – that's
how I express my love. Reggae music is the most powerful music in the world, so
with the right bass line and the right flow, it’s bound to be a turn-on for
anyone.”
