The Buzz On: Terry Lynn And 'Kingstonlogic'

With the underground success of Diplo and Switch's Major Lazer project, the line between electronic dance and reggae has never been more blurred. And now Terry Lynn is here to make it even blurrier.

Lynn, a Waterhouse, Kingston, Jamaica singer, has teamed up with the Last Gang label (home to MSTRKRFT) to make stunning dancehall, with an emphasis on dance. Where most contemporary reggae relies on the skittering beat of dancehall rhythms or the slow, soulful pace of more traditional reggae forms, Lynn employs a powerful, Daft Punk-like thump and wallop behind her toasting.

Check out her incredible video for the Daft-Punk-referencing jam "Kingstonlogic," off her Kingstonlogic 2.0 album. It's a clip that both embraces her local culture while backed by a sound that reaches across borders and blurs lines. And stay tuned for the premiere of Terry Lynn's "Jamaican Girls" video this Thursday on mtvU.
