OLDIES SUNDAY: Dennis Brown – Inseparable (1987)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Wedding SZN! For the month of June, Oldies Sunday will feature some love songs that can be a great addition to your Wedding Playlists, and could be the official song to dance to. Today we close off the month by looking back at the late Dennis Brown’s 1987 track, “Inseparable“! Produced by Willie Lindo, this was through the UK J&W Records. The song features Dennis Brown professing his love for his significant other, celebrating how much his search for love is no more, how much she means to him, and just how they click together. A song that’s perfect for the Wedding reception, it’s one of Dennis Brown’s most popular love songs. The track was featured on his 1987 album of the same name.

Dennis Brown started out as a child star, and thanks to the many hits over the years, he became the “Crown Prince of Reggae“! July 1 will mark 20 years since he left this earth as a result of a heart attack and a collapsed lung, but he continues to live and inspire many through the music.

If you’re into southern Hip Hop, you’d know that Rapper Big K.R.I.T. is releasing a new project soon. With the titled being “K.R.I.T. Iz Here“, expect nothing but dopeness from the “King Remembered In Time“. Recently he released “Addiction” featuring Recording Artist Saweetie, and legendary Rapper Lil Wayne, but the track features production from Rico Love, and legendary Dancehall (and many more genres) Producer Donovan Bennett a.k.a. Don Corleonie!

Don Corleonie’s name has been tied to hits from the likes of Sean Paul, Alaine, Sizzla, Protoje, and Vybz Kartel, and he has been working with International acts like Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, and Rico Love over the years. Based in California, he has been giving many of your favourites a dose of his signature sound that causes charting success.

.@ChronixxMusic & @OriginalKoffee Tackle @EdSheeran & @JustinBieber’s “I Don’t Care”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

It nah go nice unless Jamaicans are on it! Recently, Recording Artist Ed Sheeran has been blessing listeners with new music, namely his upcoming “No. 6 Collaborations Project“. One of the tracks that is doing its rounds is his collab with Justin Bieber titled, “I Don’t Care“. Today, Chronixx and Koffee combine their powers to deliver us a remix! While they give us that Dancehall Reggae vibes, Chronixx and Koffee basically own the song as Ed and Justin are left to just give us the chorus. Expect this one to make a lot of noise this summer. If she loves you like Keyshia loves Guwop, then it’s real. While Ed Sheeran and Justin Biber dabbled in a lil Reggae and Dancehall in their careers, we’d love some proper Dancehall/Reggae collaborations in the future, and level the playing field. One complaint I have is, if you’re going to have Jamaicans on a pop track, at least make the Youtube link playable in Jamaica (This is BS).

OLDIES SUNDAY: Browne Bunch/Brownie Bunch – Blue Skies (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Wedding SZN! For the month of June, Oldies Sunday will feature some love songs that can be a great addition to your Wedding Playlists, and could be the official song to dance to. Today we look back at the 5 Brother group Browne Bunch (a.k.a. Brownie) and their single, “Blue Skies“! With them all handling production and released through the Island Treasure label in 1991, the brothers Danny, Glen, Cleveland, Dalton, and Noel delivered a dedication to that special someone, and letting them know that they are their life’s purpose. To have someone who knows every side of you, and to help you become a better person is truly a blessing, don’t take it for granted.

Starting out as a teen sibling music group in the 70’s like The Jackson 5 and The Sylvers, they had a short stint before disbanding later in the decade. Their paths in music after, though broad, always lead them back together. They’ve made attempts to regroup in 1983 and 2015, but scheduling conflicts have put a damper on things. Danny Browne went on to become a legendary Producer, founder of the Bloodfire Posse group and Mainstreet Records, and recently had his work sampled by the likes of Nicki Minaj (more on that here). Glen Browne has worked with Jimmy Cliff, Ziggy Marley, and Tarrus Riley and has become a legendary Bass Player. Cleveland Browne went on to become a legend himself as the other half of the production duo, “Steely & Clevie“, with an outstanding track record in Jamaican music. Noel Browne took his talents as a Keyboard Player to the UK, and has worked with many inlcuding the late Dennis Brown, Glen Washington, and Papa San. Dalton Browne has been the go to Guitarist for many, and has worked with Freddie McGregor as his Musical Director, and even worked with Akon on his album, “Konvicted”.
