Reggae crooner Chronixx has achieved a notable landmark with the RIAA Gold certification of “Eternal Light,” his collaboration with California-based R&B group Free Nationals. The song, released nearly five years ago in October 2019, has officially sold 500,000 units in the U.S., combining sales and streaming, marking Chronixx’s first Gold certification in the American market. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded the certification on September 18, 2024, a testament to the track’s enduring popularity and widespread appeal.
“Eternal Light” is a harmonious blend of Chronixx’s soulful vocals and Free Nationals’ signature instrumentation, creating a soothing soundscape that promotes positivity and love. Co-written by Chronixx and Free Nationals’ keyboardist Ron “T.Nava” Avant, the song’s infectious melody and uplifting lyrics resonated with fans worldwide. Free Nationals drummer Callum Connor praised Chronixx’s distinctive creative input, noting his unique ability to craft melody lines, unlike any other R&B writer they had worked with.
This latest achievement cements Chronixx’s status as a global reggae ambassador. Already celebrated for hits like “Who Knows” and “Skankin’ Sweet,” Chronixx continues to break new ground internationally. The success of “Eternal Light” not only highlights his versatility but also the growing global recognition of reggae as a genre that transcends borders. With Free Nationals’ album featuring multiple Gold singles and a Grammy nomination, this collaboration remains a shining example of the powerful fusion of reggae and R&B, further solidifying Chronixx’s legacy in the global music landscape.
