Lebanese singer Fred Debs embraces reggae with debut single ‘Seasons’

Singer Fred Debs heard a lot about reggae as a young artiste in his native Lebanon. Some of the stories were positive, others negative. But he saw the good side of Jamaican culture while recording Seasons, his first song.

The easy-listening track is produced by DubHut and features a strong cast of musicians including drummer Sly Dunbar, bassist Delroy Hamilton and guitarist Nicolas Groskopf. Fred Debs, who lives in California, said the message behind Seasons is simple.

“Life moves in cycles, not straight lines. No stretch, whether heavy or sweet, lasts forever. The hard times pass and the good ones too,” he reasoned. “The only thing we truly own in this life is our perspective and our faith. If you lose your perspective, you lose the compass. The song is about standing firm in whatever weather you’re in, keeping your heart open and your feet moving.”
