Cardiff, Wales – Welsh-Jamaican reggae artist Aleighcia Scott premiered the official music video for her historic Welsh-language single Dod o’r Galon, Friday 28 March 2025, at 6pm UK time. The video, produced and directed by Happenin Studios, was filmed in Scott’s hometown of Cardiff, with sweeping outdoor scenes captured at Garth Hill, showcasing a stunning sunrise and panoramic views across the city.

Released by Recordiau Côsh Records in collaboration with Welsh reggae producer PenDub, Dod o’r Galon made history as the first-ever Welsh-language reggae track to top the iTunes Reggae Singles Chart.

The release follows Scott’s well-documented Welsh language journey, which began on S4C’s Iaith ar Daith in 2023, mentored by actress Mali Ann Rees. Since then, she has become a coach on S4C’s Y Llais, where she met label owner Yws Gwynedd and forged a creative relationship that led to this milestone project.

"Mixing the music of Jamaica with the language and soul of Wales has been a dream come true. We wanted a one drop/lovers rock groove that pays homage to reggae’s foundation while feeling fresh and modern”

- PenDub

Aleighcia Scott’s growing impact on the UK music scene has already seen her debut album Windrush Baby nominated for the Welsh Music Prize, alongside collaborations with reggae legends Salaam Remi and RoryStoneLove. Dod o’r Galon adds another layer to her distinct sound and cultural fusion.
