Far East Movement Ft Cover Drive - Turn Up The Love-turn Up The Love.mp3 May 2026

Don’t look for depth. The lyrics are a checklist of early 2010s dance clichés:

But the simplicity is the point. It’s not a song about love; it’s a song about turning up love as a communal, loud, physical force. It’s an invitation to forget your worries and move. In that context, the repetitive, almost nursery-rhyme structure works perfectly.

Far East Movement (FM) — consisting of Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman — rose to international fame with their 2010 smash hit “Like a G6.” By 2012, they were looking to evolve their sound toward a more melodic, uplifting direction.

Enter Cover Drive, a pop-reggae band from Barbados who had just broken into the UK charts with “Twilight.” The collaboration was a natural fit. Far East Movement wanted a song that captured the euphoria of a festival crowd, while Cover Drive’s lead vocalist, Amanda Reifer, provided the soulful, sunny hook. Don’t look for depth

Produced by The Smeezingtons (Bruno Mars’ production team, including Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine) along with Stereotypes, “Turn Up the Love” was released on July 24, 2012, as the lead single from FM’s fourth studio album, Dirty Bass.

Sing-along tip: The chorus is repetitive and easy to follow — great for groups, DJs hyping crowds, or karaoke.

Cover Drive—the Barbadian pop-reggae group—is the secret weapon here. Lead singer Amanda Reifer delivers the hook with a youthful, airy confidence: “Turn up the love, turn up the love / Let’s make the speakers blush.” It’s cheesy, yes, but delivered with enough island warmth to sell it. The male vocals from the Far East Movement members (Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif) are serviceable, providing the rhythmic, chant-like verses that act as a build-up to the chorus. They don’t overpower the track, wisely stepping back to let Cover Drive shine.
