Celebrating someone else’s success is difficult for some people, but not Honey B. The American singer’s latest song, ‘Happy For You’, expresses joy for the achievements of family and friends.
Produced by Lloyd Shaw for Issachar Muzik, the track is scheduled for release on January 17, and kicks off the California-born artist’s 2025 campaign.
“The message (behind ‘Happy For You’) is that true happiness and genuine self-acceptance can be found when we appreciate the accomplishments of the people around us. The song presents an opportunity for a beneficial attitude adjustment: when you find yourself surrounded by the success of others, feel inspired, not discouraged, because whether your name is on the achievement or someone else’s, we can all tap into that triumphant feeling of a job well done,” Honey B explained.
On ‘Happy For You’, she is backed by the legendary Roots Radics, one of reggae’s most prolific bands. Their patented sound provides the perfect backdrop for Honey B to get her positive theme across.
Raised in Modesto, Central California, Honey B’s introduction to reggae came as a child in her home state. That interest intensified in her teens when she lived in Jamaica where her mother was a schoolteacher.
She cites Bunny Wailer, Sister Carol, Brigadier Jerry and Super Cat as her biggest musical influences.
‘I Only Belong to You’ and ‘Good Energy’ are two of Honey B’s previous songs. She has performed in California, Oregon, France, the United Kingdom and Kenya.
