They say the present is a gift, so we must create lasting memories out of it. Reminding us of this is a best of both worlds collab between Machel Montano and Tarrus Riley!

PRESS RELEASE: @NadeshaStarface Celebrates The Release Of “Hold My Man”

Posted on January 19, 2016January 19, 2016 by swadedavillain

Overnight female sensation, Starface has come to prominence after a controversial performance at Sting 2015. Her onstage aura was compelling and bold with a tongue far from shy. This encouraged police officers to pull the plug on her at the annual event.

The newcomer is strongly influenced by the “Queen of the Dancehall”, Lady Saw, who has touted her as the next big thing. It is evident that Starface has traits similar to Saw as an up-comer. She may very well be next in line to accept the baton pass, as the queen journeys on to a new spiritual path, leaving the Dancehall race behind.

“Hold My Man” is the title of the new video which she celebrates the release of via her label, Konsequence Muzik. The video, which is filled with sexual appeal, was shot by Kerro and now available exclusively on StarfaceofficialVEVO. She has also released a single about her debut Sting experience titled, “Mash It Up” which is already in rotation.
