S3 E2 Inside "Sweet Like Mango": From Riddim to Romance

In this episode of Jahmi Roc’s Jottings, Jahmi breaks down the story behind her first purely reggae/dancehall release, “Sweet Like Mango”—from hearing Dale “Dizzle” Virgo’s “Becca” riddim alone at home, to channeling the butterflies of a new romance into the hook and verses. She shares memories from the song’s first live performance at Project 43, the crowd’s “more mango!” reaction, and how a busy season releasing “Write Your Name,” “Liberation Night,” and the “Write Your Name” House Remix eventually led to “Sweet Like Mango” becoming the high-energy finale at her single release party. Jahmi also takes listeners behind the scenes of the music video shoot with director Mitiyiana, being styled by Reggae Moms in summery, cute, and sexy thrifted looks, and filming across Southern California backdrops that match the song’s warmth and playfulness. She reflects on what it means to finally drop an all-reggae/dancehall track with a Jamaican producer like Dizzle, how it feels to fully speak in Patwa through the music, and why she hopes the hook lodges itself in listeners’ hearts as a little mantra of new-love warmth.
