Beres Hammond & Queen Ifrica – What A Night (Remaster)

Beres Hammond and Queen Ifrica’s What A Night is one of those reggae love songs that has stayed in circulation because it has real singers on it, and this 2026 remaster brings it back into focus with the kind of polish that suits a tune already known for its warmth. The song first appeared in the late-2000s Penthouse era, when the label was still shaping a steady run of roots, lovers rock, and conscious releases that moved easily between radio play and sound system use, and this one sits comfortably in that space.

Beres Hammond is in his familiar easy glide here, singing with that relaxed, tender phrasing that made him a mainstay across decades, while Queen Ifrica answers with a voice that carries both softness and strength, giving the track a duet feel rather than a simple feature credit. The writing and arrangement keep the mood intimate, with the vocal chemistry doing most of the work over a clean, melodic Penthouse production, and the song’s emotional pull comes from the way the two voices hold the line between devotion and reflection without overplaying it. It is the kind of track that depends on tone as much as message, which is part of why it has lasted.

What A Night was originally issued through Penthouse Records in 2009, with Donovan Germain credited on the production side, and it has since appeared on Penthouse compilation releases tied to both Beres Hammond and Queen Ifrica. The remaster keeps the same basic song identity intact, and for listeners coming to it now, the detail that matters most is still the pairing of Beres Hammond and Queen Ifrica on a 3: 46 cut built around the original Penthouse sound.
