Dante Bowe Presents WIND ME UP featuring Anthony B. Review — A Tune of Agony

Posted on by Samantha Hartzell

Close your eyes. Now, imagine you’re sitting on the beach, the warm sun gently hugging your skin, with a refreshing drink in your hand. It’s paradise: just the kind of scene where you imagine many reggae songs to be born. Grammy-award-winning songwriter Dante Bowe’s low, raspy voice fills your ears with the story of love and heartbreak in his song Wind Me Up, featuring Anthony B.

Dante Bowe’s Tune of Agony

We can understand the lows of the relationship are beyond repair, but Bowe and Anthony B. are fighting for their lives to have the few good times back.

The song starts off slow, with relaxing sounds of high and low-toned riffs and a soft beat. The lyrics begin, with maracas and the beat intensified. You can hear Bowe’s heart shattering for communication from his significant other. You can really feel his desperation for wanting the relationship to work, despite their issues. The dynamic rhythm sets a mood of struggle.

 

Everybody’s got their problems, oh but if we get the power to stop ‘em, I know that you’ll just wind me up, wind me up

When I get real low, pick me up

Bowe mentions that even though he does not want to let go, he feels as if he has no one else to call. His love for this person and willingness to work toward a resolution is his main focus. The increased tempo and power of Anthony B’s verse gives the song more of a reggae aura. Throughout, we feel the intense pain of holding onto someone that has given up.

While this entire song makes you feel like dancing, this specific verse can bring out moves you didn’t even realize you had.

 

Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me love, girl

You take my mind into a next world

You’re the best love me ever get

And I don’t want you as my ex girl

Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me love, girl

 

Dante Bowe’s Wind Me Up has the organs of a sad song but the exoskeleton of an intriguing, feel-good vibe., in this writer’s opinion. Anthony B’s sound and passion truly lift up the song with his drive and desire growing deeper into his verse.

If you’re interested in comforting reggae music, this song may be a match for you. Its diversity meshes well with everyday occasions, whether you play it in the background at work, during a cleaning session or even in the car, blasting through your open windows.
