The New Christopher Ellis Video Is a Perfect Throwback and a Modern Look at Rocksteady

Yes, Alton Ellis's son.

<

Christopher Ellis takes classic rocksteady/first wave reggae and gives it a new look with "Roller Coaster," a track that seems like it would fit squarely in the Daptone roster. This song has royalty written all over it, from Ellis himself (son of the great Alton Ellis, aka the "Godfather of Rocksteady") to producer Damian Marley. The soulful jam has spawned a fun video as well, shot on Brighton's shores in the UK. Check it out for the first time above and order your copy of the new EP Better Than Love at iTunes now.
