Featuring island-infused, loop-worthy jams, Barbados based band 2 Mile Hill, has already racked up stage credits with Wyclef Jean, Damian Marley, Erykah Badu and more. Now the rap-rock army has taken on Beyonce with their fresh new cover of “Drunk in Love,” and it is premiering exclusively on GroundSounds.

Lead singer Mahalia and musical director André had this to say about the bands latest track:

From Mahalia (lead singer): It’s always so exciting to cover an artist as iconic as Queen Bey and Drunk In love is such a fun song. It’s already reminiscent of our carefree, Caribbean lifestyle (and love of good alcohol lol) so it was just natural to take it in the direction we did. The reggae vibe just came organically and felt like it was meant to be.

From André (musical director): Ever since we covered “Moves Like Jagger” a while ago as Nexcyx, I always wanted to create another arrangement in a similar style since it was such a great experience working on that one. We love Beyoncé’s music, and have covered a few of her songs, but there was just something about the vibe and melody of Drunk in love that kept haunting me and made me really sit at home on the keyboard and started messing around with it. Came up with a few ideas, took it to the band and the rest was history.
