For reggae singer Joseph Velvet, perseverance has never been just the title of an album. It has been the defining theme of his life.

Now, the vocalist is hoping that Evermore, a newly reimagined version of a song from his Perseverance album, will introduce his music to a new generation of listeners while reminding long-time fans of the talent that first captivated reggae audiences decades ago. Originally recorded with strong R&B influences, the song has been reborn as a full-fledged reggae production.

"The idea to do a remake of this reggae version came from my son, Joseph," said the singer, whose given name is Joseph Jordan Jones. "His thinking was that, with these popular musicians and the lyrics, the song would get noticed and, as a result, there would be more views, streams and downloads."
