Multi-Platinum global hitmaker R3HAB joins forces with luminary Gold-and Platinum-certified Irish-American singer-songwriter Michael Patrick Kelly and multi-Grammy Award Reggae icon Shaggy for “Rebellion” – a dynamic anthem of love and defiance. With electrifying dance beats, soulful melodies, and Shaggy’s signature Caribbean flair, the track calls for a revolution of love.
Michael Patrick Kelly describes the song as the rebellion of love in the midst of a world filled with hatred and violence. The two rebels in Michael’s parts are like a portrait of Bonnie & Clyde of love, opposing all the hate and violence in the world by celebrating what they feel for each other.
Together, these artists celebrate life with music, tearing down the works of destruction in the world and uniting people through rhythm, emotion, and pure energy.
“‘Rebellion’ is where three sounds collide – my electronic energy, Shaggy’s reggae vibes, and Michael Patrick Kelly’s soulful rock vocals. We’ve fused our styles into a feel-good anthem about taking on the world together. It’s a testament to how music transcends genres, and we can’t wait for fans to hear it.” – R3HAB
