Steel Alive: ‘What a World’

What a World is the second single from Steel Alive’s upcoming album, Overcome. Built on a heavy, apocalyptic stepper riddim, the dub duo—based between Lyon and La Réunion—teams up this time with British singer of Jamaican origin Peppery, whom they discovered on Rising Up by their friends at Dawa HiFi.

The choice couldn’t be more fitting: the track is set to become one of the anthems of sound system sessions and festivals this summer. Already tested exclusively on several occasions, it has sparked an enthusiastic response from audiences with every play. On What a World, Peppery explores one of the central themes of Steel Alive’s forthcoming project: a reflection on the dangers and contradictions of the contemporary world.

With an irresistible chorus, a magnetic vocal performance, and a powerful production, the single stands out as a key release for both dub fans and listeners open to new sounds.

What a World is now available on digital platforms.
