Key Loch revive a global classic — “Hopelessly Devoted To You (Reggae Soul Rastaman Edit)” — a soulful rebirth for the modern era !
24 Nov 2025

Key Loch have returned with one of their most ambitious reinterpretations yet — a deep, groove-driven, reggae-soul transformation of the iconic ballad “Hopelessly Devoted To You”, now available worldwide on SoundCloud.

This track carries serious lineage.

Originally performed by Olivia Newton-John in the 1978 blockbuster Grease, the song became a global phenomenon — top 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, Oscar-nominated, and forever stitched into pop culture history.

In the 1990s, The Olivia Project reignited the track’s legacy, turning it into a massive Australian club hit and global dance-floor favourite. That cover cemented the song as a cross-generational anthem.

Now Key Loch step into that lineage with respect — and a bold creative hand.

A NEW VERSION. A NEW FEEL. A NEW CHAPTER.
Hopelessly Devoted To You (Reggae Soul Rastaman Edit)” is not just a remix — it’s a full reconstruction through the lens of Key Loch’s signature sonic world:

  • Reggae rhythm foundations
  • Warm analogue soul textures
  • Classic Rastaman percussive accents
  • Vintage horns with a modern low-end punch
  • A vocal delivery that honours both ONJ’s elegance and The Olivia Project’s 90s fire

At the helm are producers Damien Reilly and Gabe Rizzo, carving out a soundscape that blends nostalgia with uplifting island warmth. These two bring decades of production experience, and on this track they flex it in full: detailed, melodic, and emotionally immersive.

This is Key Loch doing what they do best — taking a legendary song and breathing new life into it without losing its heart.

Why this version lands harder

  • It respects every era of the song: 1978, the 1990s dance boom, and now 2025.
  • It creates a bridge for old fans and new generations discovering the track for the first time.
  • It blends pop structure with reggae soul in a way that feels natural, warm, and globally accessible.
  • It proves Key Loch’s ability to reinterpret legacy songs without gimmicks — only craft, emotion, and groove.

This is a version built for playlists, radio, beach bars, late-night headphones, and nostalgia lovers everywhere.
