Arctic Wave – “Pure and Open”

Arctic Wave’s “Pure and Open” is one of those tracks that just instantly gets you in a better headspace. It’s reggae with a purpose, laid-back, yes, but there’s clarity in its groove. The band takes a real turn here, stepping away from their usual edge and diving headfirst into sunny, feel-good rhythms without losing their voice. It’s confident, unforced, and easy to keep on repeat.

You can tell they’re not just playing around with the genre either, the blend is tight, and the collaborators they brought in definitely know what they’re doing. Trust me, it’s hit different ith you listen to it while watching the video. Also, the cover art is spot on, two palms holding up a hammock at sunset? It’s exactly the kind of energy the song gives off, simple, chill, inviting. That golden light matches the warmth in the sound.

If you’re into music that lets you unplug without zoning out, keep Arctic Wave on your radar. Follow them on socials to catch the rest of their 2025 drops, you’re going to want to hear where they go next.
