The afrobeat master, Gregg Kofi Brown, has surprised everyone with his latest collaboration with Ed Sheeran. Being always amongst big names like Osibisa, Billy Cobham, Sting, Stanley Jordan, Des’ree, Gabrielle, and even Louie Vega Gregg’s latest collaboration carries the legacy forward. His journey from Afro-rock pioneer days to a more Afro-jazz and soul-leaning solo path shows in how confidently he owns his sound. You can hear those decades of experience in his vocals—seasoned, warm, and effortlessly in control.
“Gregg Kofi Brown exquisite guitar work and flawless vocals feel like poetry in motion.”
Teaming up with Ed Sheeran for an Afro-swing anthem feels fresh but still rooted in Brown’s DNA. “The River (Remix),” the remix version of Gregg's "The River" is literally all about the vibes with its groove that instantly catches your attention and gets you hooked. Kari Bannerman from Ibibio Sound Machine's guitar works subtly drives the track while the vocals of Brown glide smoothly over the beat. The mix by Chris Kimsey gives it that polished, almost classic feel without losing the raw Afro energy. There’s a celebratory vibe throughout the track that truly feels like a flowing river touching your feet, making it even more groovy then "The River."
