Loop Electronic and Bless Up Music present a collaboration between three eclectic Aotearoa artists. Sianne and Riddim Cartel have combined with the track ‘Blessing’, presented by Israel Starr. The track is a drum & bass-laced banger, incorporating elements of dancehall which have made Israel Starr and his label Bless Up Music known worldwide.

‘Blessing’ brings together the stylings and vibes of three unique artists, with the vocals written over the top of an acoustic dancehall beat coming from Israel Starr. The track was then given a drum & bass beat from Riddim Cartel to go alongside soulful and soaring vocals from Sianne. The resulting track is a big festival-ready tune driven by a powerful vocal blending with a drum & bass sound that can only come from Aotearoa.

The track is a co-release coming from Loop Electronic and Bless Up Music, which shows the collaborative sound of the release - electronic music with tinges of dancehall reggae. Originally written passionately about the love Sianne has for her children, the track speaks to whatever Blessings the listener can have in their own lives. Completed over weeks over multiple revisions, reworking, and feedback from other producers and musicians. The finished product captures an Olympic-level vocal performance and beat creating a sound made for both the heads and the masses. 

‘Blessing’ is a collaboration between three artists from different backgrounds, all with the same musical ethos. On a roll on the back of three new singles already released in 2025, Sianne’s profile is growing following on from a busy summer touring her powerful and distinctive R&B flavoured vocals across Aotearoa. Production on the track comes courtesy of Riddim Cartel, a dub, roots & jungle producer and DJ who has recently shared stages alongside Salmonella Dub and Rubi Du. 

Piecing the puzzle together is Israel Starr, the man behind Bless Up Music. A multi-Platinum and Gold-selling artist, Israel’s brand of authentic roots-reggae, funk and world music has made him a key member of the music scene in Aotearoa for years. All three artists are based in Pōneke, Wellington, with the release featuring the unmistakable voices of three creatives coming out of New Zealand.

‘Blessing’ represents a true collaboration, and presents a sound undeniably from Aotearoa.
