Under Mi Sensi

Barrington Levy recorded the track in Kingston, Jamaica, in the mid-1980s with producer Paul “Jah Screw” Love; it is associated with the Channel One session era that also produced Here I Come. The recording features Levy over the “African Beat” rhythm and is tied to his run of UK crossover reggae hits. The single was a major reggae hit in the United Kingdom and helped establish Levy’s commercial peak in the mid-1980s. It became one of the defining dancehall songs of the period and a touchstone for the sound that followed. The song became the basis for later versions and interpolations, most notably the 1985 dancehall hit Under Mi Sleng Teng. It remains a standard in Levy’s catalog and has continued to circulate through reissues, remixes, and later collaborations.
