Because the original 45 is now unavailable and estimated to be worth thousands of dollars, The 18th Parallel wanted to offer their own version. To do so, they engaged Witness, a young singer of only twenty years old with undeniable talent, but still unknown to the public. Originally from Swaziland, Philisiwe ‘Witness’ Lukhele delivers her own interpretation of Mercy Gone. Witness and The 18th Parallel have done a really good job especially because they gave Mercy Gone their own twist without ignoring the aesthetics of the Jamaican sound of the ’70s. Bringing in Mr. Williamz, who here utilizes an old-skool style, was a good move as the singer/deejay combination takes the song to an even higher level.
