With upbeat reggae basslines, delicate horn- licks and catchy vocal hooks, 'Longtime' stays true to the definitive Shanty sound. The track also showcases the band's musical expertise with a euphoric brass solo followed by a stripped- back bridge that perfectly exhibits frontman Ben Willis' soulful vocals.

The artist, whose real name is Andre Ellis, has been touring extensively in Europe. Nature also got rave reviews from reggae aficionados after a series of explosive performances in Australia. "I feel good to be out in the world because as a young artist, you have to plant the seeds to build a fan base. Music is a growing process, it is really a career, that is why I am taking timeout to do conscious, positive music that can last a lifetime," the St. James native said.
