 Irie Pen Records Presents New Video: "The Season" WATCH VIDEO HERE
It’s the happiest time of the year! And Hopeton Lindo is feeling the vibes with ‘The Season’, a song that celebrates Christmas.
A video for the song, directed by TuneMiami, has been released to share the singer’s joy with family and friends.

Mostly filmed in sunny South Florida and chilly New Hampshire, the visual captures Lindo spending quality time with loved ones. In one scene, he expresses his joy with a resplendent Yuletide tree as the perfect backdrop. Lindo has savored Christmas since his childhood in Jamaica. He has fond memories growing up in a large family whose bond got even stronger as December approached. He explains the objective of the video which is edited by Winston Price Films in Jamaica. “The concept is to show family and friends coming together no matter the weather to give thanks and celebrate the season,” said Lindo. ‘The Season’ is one of five songs on ‘Feel It Christmas’, an EP produced by his Irie Pen Record label. It also features ‘My Wish For Christmas’ by Peter G, ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ by Novel-T, ‘Some Day At Christmas’ by Empress Uneek and ‘A Different Christmas’ by Lindo and Anthony Redrose.
