Dexta, 37 compliments her vocals on the chorus, “When I looking your eyes and you staring back at me you are my dreams come though to life.”
“‘See it Yah ‘is a deeply intimate exchange of love between two souls. This is an ode to the connection that we all are searching for,” a statement on the release said.
The Statement explained the meaning of the patois title “See It Yah”: “The Jamaican patois phrase ‘See It Yah’ (translated See it here or Here it is)is masterfully woven into this melodic-masterpiece. Alaine and Dexta Daps’s vocals combine harmoniously and soul stirringly to bring a completely mesmerizing performance.”
This is Dexta’s second single in as many weeks as he previously joined Cham and Bounty Killer on the song Slow Motion produced by Dave Kelly. Slow Motion, which has an accompanying short film has already earned 207,255 on Spotify. The music video has surpassed 400,000 views on YouTube.
Both Bounty and Cham heaped praises at the remarkable talent of Dexta Daps at the launch as they reflect on the making of the song. “We say Dexta is a young act that came and make it his point of duty to attend to the ladies expensively so we decided we want him to hook the lyrics, we send forward the ladies man. You gotta deal with the ladies slow.”
“Cham said, the first time came to me when I heard what Dave had done with the mix was how special Dexta sound. Its like sometimes we are fan of each other, we come up under the same umbrella and the same team,” Cham said before being interrupted by Bounty who said: “The first time me play the song, you know people never know she a Dexta? because him a sing Inna the falsetto and I really realize that him inna one different zone. Then Dexta sing Inna the four chorus different, every time.”
Dexta then chimed in to give accolades to producer Dave Kelly. “A Dave Kelly write the song inuh, mi use want everybody know from now inuh,” he explained.
