BEHIND THE MUSIC When "Love Mi Browning" came out in 1992, many women were offended. They thought the artist Buju Banton was perpetuating that perceived preference for mulatto and mixed-race women that was allegedly prevalent in Jamaica and the Caribbean at the time. However, few know that he was actually singing to one particular woman, his love interest at the time, the mysterious and beautiful Lorna 👑. According to Buju, certain women were filling up her head with rumors about him, trying to destroy their relationship. He wrote the song to remind Lorna that of all that he possessed and loved, he loved her the most. And he was so grateful that she chose not to be swayed by the "viper" dem.
That's the same Lorna from "Hey Lorna" with Wayne Wonder... #feellikecrying
Allegedly in response to the grumblings, Buju Banton followed up his #1 hit with another single, "Love Black Woman". Both songs were featured on the Mr. Mention album along with "Batty Rider" and "Dickie". Every self-respecting reggae lover had this album, and to this day any time a DJ runs that old "Feeling Soul" riddim (when you hear "Feeling Lonely" by Beres Hammond, that's it) everyone is waiting for BROWNING to drop.... and just like Monday comes behind Sunday, "Love Black Woman" follows that song every time. Historical, lyrical and typical.

I wonder what the old viper dem thinking 🐍
Dem a plan and dem a con and dem a scheme
'Cause dem waan mash up me and mi browning
But all the rumors dem a spread,
My Lorna is not listening
🎶 Me love me car, me love me bike
Me love me money and ting
But most of all, me love me browning ❤
