about
The idea of this song started from a conversation with my Jamaican Grandfather. When ever he asked me if I had a girl friend, and I said I was single, he would tell me, “Luke, them City girl too complicated” followed by, “yuh need a country girl Luke, di city full a vampayahs.” I then came up with the song comparing all similarities between the stereotypical toxic “city girl”, and Vampire folklore. A track fit for Halloween for the Dancehall community. What I like to call, a "Dancehall Thriller."
