Jarrad Ricketts Returns with Feel-Good Single ‘Gonna Love Ya’

Jarrad Ricketts, a Samas-nominated musician, has returned to the music world with “Gonna Love Ya”, a feel-good track that takes a novel approach to modern love.

Ricketts is a South African and international musical sensation known for singles such as “Take Me to Your Heart,” “Paradise,” and “You Are Lord.”

“Gonna Love Ya” was released on Friday, October 25, marking the Cape Town-born musician’s first musical project of the year.

The 36-year-old described the song in a statement as “a reassurance to couples, emphasising the idea that no matter what challenges arise, they can face them together.”

“The song carries a message of unity and strength, offering a warm and relatable narrative that resonates with listeners of all ages,” he added.

He explained that creating the single was an organic process, filled with experimentation and spontaneity.

“We didn’t overthink it. From the writing to the recording, it was all about what felt right in the moment.”

He was inspired by the early 2000s, specifically the garage and R&B genres, when creating the tune.

Ricketts, known for his aggressive performances and strong vocals, chose “Gonna Love Ya” to embrace a nostalgic yet current feel, fusing old-school vibes with his own modern spin.

His 2018 first album, “Break The Rules,” demonstrated his versatility and got him a Samas Award nomination for Best Pop Album.

He also performed solo shows in Spain’s Menorca and Ibiza, the world’s party capital, and charmed audiences on Baltic Sea cruise ships.
