Opie Ortiz has released irie new single “Chat Bout” from his solo project Opie &
Family across digital platforms. The song features Ortiz dropping his breezy melodic
vocals over a dance-friendly reggae riff by The Aggrolites frontman Jesse Wagner,
and some atmospheric sound effects created by Miguel Happoldt. 

**“Chat Bout” is the third single off Opie & Family’s upcoming debut album “Sound
Sensations Vol. 1”, which is set to release on September 10th, 2021 by Regime Music
Group**.

“The song ‘Chat Bout’ is about someone who talks too much and needs to listen,” 
says Ortiz.

Opie & Family’s “Sound Sensations Vol. 1” was co-written by Ortiz and Wagner, who
also produced the record with additional engineering and mixing by Chris Brennan(
The Aggrolites, The Expanders). The album is a sonic journey into a vortex of easy-
going roots reggae and feel-good vibrations.

**“Sound Sensations Vol. 1” is Ortiz’s solo debut after becoming a legendary figurehead
within the West Coast reggae-rock scene**. Ortiz was a founding member of Long Beach
Dub Allstars alongside former original Sublime members Eric Wilson and Bud, as well
as Ras 1, Ras MG and Miguel from Skunk Records. The group picked up the torch and
helped usher in the next generation of rock-reggae. Last year, Long Beach Dub Allstars
returned with a new self-titled album that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae
Album Chart.
