CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARY MARLEY RELEASED GLOBALLY ON STREAMING PLATFORMS - JULY 15, 2025

11 JULY 2025 (TORONTO, ON): The Marley family, UMe, and Island Records continue to celebrate Bob Marley's 80th birthday and his significance in the global music movement with a brand-new remix of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Could You Be Loved” (with LP Giobbi).

American DJ, music producer, and classically trained jazz pianist LP Giobbi bathes the track in a hazy techno glow, injecting it with pulsating energy that creates space for movement and mood. Often regarded as a fusion of reggae and disco, "Could You Be Loved" lends itself perfectly to LP Giobbi’s remixing style. The respective remix offers an entirely different perspective on the original, revealing new layers and emotions.

Initially released in 1980 as the first single from Bob Marley & the Wailers’ twelfth album, Uprising, “Could You Be Loved” is also included on their greatest hits album Legend (1984). The song hit number 6 on the Hot Dance Club Songs Chart in the U.S., while in Europe it peaked in the top 10 in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.K. In 2021, Rolling Stone included "Could You Be Loved" at number 363 in their list of "500 Best Songs of All Time.”

An exclusive merchandise capsule was released last month in celebration of the 45th anniversary of Uprising, featuring unique Bob Marley merchandise and a special, limited-edition “liquid sunshine”-filled vinyl reissue of the album, housed in a unique die-cut sleeve. Order the “liquid-sunshine" LP and check out the exclusive merch options, HERE.
