Jamaica’s nothing short of creativity. From music, to fashion, to art, to dance, you could say we’re born this way to make something out of nothing. While the pandemic came and caused a fracture in the entertainment sector, many Creatives either had to fall back and take the punches, or create through the storm. Recording Artist G Law chose to do the later as he now presents his debut album, “Konneck“.

With “Konneck” consisting of 18 tracks, G Law has shown over some time that he hang with some of the best lyricists in business, and his album is an exhibition of that. Released through ZSA Music, the album boasts production from Shakespeare, Ceddii Sosa, Grim Rim Records, ISLA, and Alex Myrie. While G Law showcases some great songwriting and tapping into different audiences and subject matter, guest features from Shakespeare, ALXZSA, and Sevens provide great assistance select tracks. G Law saw the opening to make something happen, and he took that chance with the quickness, and this album promises to be a collector’s item.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Shades – She’s Gonna Marry Me (1969)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The month of June is a popular month for Weddings around the world, so why give you all something to add to the playlist? For Oldies Sunday, we go back in time to check out a track by a singing trio named Shades called, “She’s Gonna Marry Me“!

Produced by Winston Riley, Shades’ “She’s Gonna Marry Me” was released through Riley’s Techniques label in 1969. On the track, lyrics about looking forward to marriage are shared, and what the experience will be like when it comes to marrying the love of your life. Shades was a short-lived group composed of former The Techniques Vocalist Bruce Ruffin, former The Paragons member Tyrone Evans, and a 3rd singer who remained anonymous. Given that Bruce Ruffin was a member of The Techniques, some outlets printed copies of Shades’ single with credit given to The Techniques. Nonetheless, “She’s Gonna Marry Me” was a hit for Shades, and was even covered by Reggae singer Junior Delgado in 1979. Since the release of “She’s Gonna Marry Me”, Bruce Ruffin went on to work with numerous Artists and Producers, and even took on a career in Law after the disbandment of Shades, while Tyrone Evans emigrated to the United States, and continued to work with numerous Artists and Producers, and even re-joined The Paragons before passing away in 2000.
