Niko Rubio with Zuri Marley – Ring Ring

Acclaimed Mexican/Salvadoran-American singer-songwriter Niko Rubio has united with rising artist Zuri Marley for “Ring Ring (with ZURI),” a brand new spin on her intoxicating single, “Ring Ring.”

Rubio first teamed with Marley – the daughter of Ziggy Marley and granddaughter of Bob Marley – to perform the rendition earlier this summer at a sold-out hometown headline show at Los Angeles, CA’s Moroccan Lounge, while celebrating the release of her recent acclaimed EP, Ring Ring.

“Turns out my dad’s drummer played on it [the original ‘Ring Ring’], and he’s an iconic reggae drummer,” says Zuri Marley. “His name is Santa, and I was just like, oh that’s fire, and then Niko was like, ‘we should do a remix.’ I don’t really make a lot of reggae but when I heard this, I was like, it’s the perfect way to try it.”

Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Lester Mendez (Shakira, Santana, Nelly Furtado), Rubio’s Ring Ring EP includes the original version of the sultry title track, “Ring Ring,” joined by an official music video – directed by Los Angeles-based filmmaker William Bonnell and award-winning British fine artist Lucia Farrow.

Co-written by Rubio, Mike Rincon, and Julian Bernal (Kali Uchis, Sebastian Yatra), “Ring Ring” fast proved a fan favorite thanks to its boisterous horns, a laidback reggae guitar groove, and Rubio’s sun-kissed jazzy cadence. The single was heralded by a series of hugely popular teases across social media, in part prompting a rapid rise in followers and weekly streaming totals in the weeks that followed.

Ring Ring – which also includes the tender, Spanish guitar-inflected ballad, “Quisiera Saber.”
