Love Over Hate is multi-genre album to be released by Hayden Billingy on the 28th of September, 2018. Love Over Hate was inspired by the increase in crime and senseless killing in SVG and the Caribbean as a whole.
It’s a direct derivative of hate and intolerance among our people. There is absolutely no value placed on human lives and respect for persons has decreased drastically.
We were commanded to love each other, yet love is overshadowed by hate and empathy by judgment.
This album highlights the need for us to get back to the basics, where love is the center of our interactions with our neighbors and those we come into contact with daily. “Cause if our hearts not made of stone why can’t we show our neighbor’s love” is echoed in the title track.
“Love should be our guide and our motivation, while hate should have no place in our reactions to differences of race, religion or opinions” remarked the Orange Hill resident. “In order to heal our humanity, we must first understand God’s love that prompts us to love each others.
Before we judge me must love and then the world will be a better place, when we show compassion and care for those who are loveless and unlovable. In all that we do and say, we must remember that we must love first, as we seek our first Love” proffered the love over heat artiste.
The 11 track album by Hayden Billingy epitomizes God’s love and love for humanity and features local Rap artiste GB, Allison Norville from Barbados and Loxton Mitchell from Grenada.
