As a youngster growing up between Clarendon and Ocho Rios, Kumpliment was inspired by dancehall and rhythm and blues.
He incorporates elements of both genres on his latest single Gone Lef Me Now, which tackles the subject of heartbreak.
Gone Lef Me Now is very relatable because many people have faced the heartache of breaking up with a partner. They can relate to the emotional roller-coaster, the pain and sadness, a broken heart, and eventually coming out on the other side and getting over that person,” Kumpliment told the Jamaica Observer recently.
Kumpliment is happy with the reception to the song since its release and is planning on shooting a music video to amp up the promotion behind the song.
Gone Lef Me Now was produced by DJ Lux for Brown Team Records.
Kumpliment, who shared that he brings a unique style and flow that transcends musically, has been knocking on the doors for a breakthrough for some time now.
“Music has been a part of me my whole life and is my first love. My journey with music has had its ups and downs, but I’ve always turned to music as an outlet, no matter what I go through,” the artiste, born Shamal Brown, stated.
“My goal is to make beautiful music that lives on for many generations to come. I hope to make music that people can deeply relate to and connect with,” said Kumpliment.
