Taking a very distinctive approach to both singing and songwriting, global Japanese reggae, roots, and dancehall icon CJ Joe returns with an empowering anthem themed “Off The Ground” that features a visually striking music video that was shot in East Africa, specifically in Accra, Ghana, and Dar es Salaam & Zanzibar in Tanzania. At its core, this catchy and infectious jam with a memorable chorus, where the gist of its inspiration rests, has an inescapable Afrobeats cadence that blends marvelously with Joe’s signature reggae and dancehall demeanor.
The backing vocal harmonies off the bat add to the song’s catchiness and enchantment, elevating the song’s appeal further whilst laying the groundwork for CJ Joe’s raw, expressive, and earworming vocals as he ebbs and flows in perfect sync with the lively beats.
“Off The Ground” is so much more than just a song—it is a journey of empowerment and personal triumph, designed to inspire confidence, introspection, and abundance to anyone lucky enough to be listening. The track has been laden with words of motivation that guide listeners through growth, resilience, and success.
In a world that has every type of person you could think of, you always need spiritual guidance as much as your wisdom to navigate and be in a position to choose between what is right and wrong. Not everyone wishes you well; in fact, many are always waiting to rejoice at your downfall. “Off The Ground” is a timely reminder that you’ve got to keep your head high, feet off the ground, trust in the Almighty, and continue doing what you are doing, for in the end, there will be fruits sown for all the hard work, discipline, resilience, and unwavering determination.
The music video is another attention-grabbing cinema by itself—shot in the beautiful expanse of East Africa, with the eye-catching visuals becoming a storytelling device that immerses the viewer in the song’s emotional and inspirational layers, bringing the song’s theme to life.
