Directed by Oral Napier and edited by Sherice Bromfield, the video is expected be released next week. The single, produced by DJ Denvo, was released earlier this month. According to the singer, the track speaks to the intimacy shared between a loving couple.
“This track is one that everyone can relate to, as it describes the feeling of being with ‘the one’,” he told the Jamaica Observer.
Mackeehan, (given name Mackeehan Solomon), entered the music business as a writer for acts including Etana and Jah Cure in 2005. As a student at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, he tried his hand in the Popular Song Competition.
“I gained a lot of on-stage experience from the Popular Song Competition. But, I never took music seriously until 2013,” he said. That year, he signed to Frankie Music Label and released Miss You Bad. He said there is no looking back.
“We’re just pushing on. We have a lot of gigs in the US coming up. Hopefully, we can top it all off with some shows in Europe,” he said.
Mackeehan’s other releases include Stay By My Side, Who’s Gonna Help Us, and Rastafari Way (ft Duane Stephens).

After hitting the pavement hard and strong earlier this year with the hit single ‘Stay By my side’ Team Coalition artiste Mackeehan Solomon has not slowed his pace and now drops his new hit ‘Miss you bad’, guaranteed to further establish Mackeehan as the soulful reggae crooner that he is.
Already the single has been added to playlists and music archives on popular radio stations in Jamaica and overseas within days of its release.
‘Miss You Bad’ is a smooth, sultry and captivating love ballad, showcasing the soft side of what is usually dubbed ‘hardcore rasta love’. Produced by Team Coalition Production House ‘Frankie Music’, the track clearly highlights Mackeehan’s songwriter talents, talents he has honed for years penning tracks for Reggae greats including Jah Cure, Luciano, Tarrus Riley and Etana.
The young Reggae vocalist is also fresh off a successful Caribbean summer tour with Duane Stephenson, IOctane and Droop Lion and continues to make great strides in the music industry at home and abroad. Plans for his upcoming EP, set for a late 2013 release, are well under way with additional recordings and new singles close to the final stages.
Mackeehan is excited about the new single and his upcoming projects especially his LIVE appearance at Red Bones Blues Café in Jamaica on October 25 with other members of Team Coalition.
