Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican-born/Florida-based Producer/Musician/Recording Artist Kris-Karz has been on the scene for a number of years, and when he’s not producing for the likes of Kapital Stone, Royal Blu, Blvk H3ro, Dylan Golden, and Lola Jaan, he’s putting together his own music to speak about love, relationships, and life overall. He has gained recognition in Jamaica, throughout parts of the United States, and other parts of the world, but recently his profile expanded to new territories thanks to his recent placement with popular American Magazine, Architectural Digest.

Architectural Digest expanded their platform to host a number of video-based content on Youtube in recent years, where they feature property, Interior Design, and landscaping from celebrities, and other big names. For their latest entry in their “Open Door” series, they highlighted property from Miami Heat superstar, Jimmy Butler. The 14 minute clip showcased the NBA star’s Southern California Mansion with designs from popular Interior Decorator Tiffany Brooks, and featured music from Kris-Karz’s “Portraits” project. “Portraits” was a project that was announced in 2021 but not fully released, and included the singles “LUST”, “LOVE”, and “ENERGY”. The Instrumental for the tracks “LOVE” and “ENERGY” were featured in the closing of the video, along with other production from Karz that were played in various parts.

“This is truly a blessing for me,” shared Kris-Karz. “I have been making music for well over 15 years, and this placement is a huge accomplishment for me. Sometimes you don’t know who will connect with your music, and to know that the Architectural Digest team loved it enough to include it in their content, i’m truly grateful for the opportunity. For those who ever had doubts about their talent, keep pushing because your moment and more are just around the corner. Believe in yourself.”

Kris-Karz, born Kris-Anthony Smith in Manchester, Jamaica, is the founder of Kngly Studios, and its main Producer and Recording Artist. He is also the mind behind the Youtube Acoustic series, “Kngly Live”, which provided a platform for Recording Artists and Musicians from South Florida and surrounding areas to showcase their talent. He has produced for a number of local and overseas-based Artists, and has performed at a number of events in Miami, Atlanta, and northern parts of America. As a Recording Artist, he has released singles such as, “LUST”, “Heartbreak”, “Text Me”, “GUSH”, and more recently “Safe With Me”. He is currently finalizing a number of releases to close off 2024, and kick off 2025. 

The new “Open Door” episode featuring Jimmy Butler is now available for viewing on Architectural Digest’s Youtube channel. Kris-Karz’s latest singles “GUSH” and “Safe With Me” are out now on all digital music streaming platforms.

Ghost Takes On The Pop Music Charts With ‘Be Your Friend’ Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Ghost is a Jamaican Music legend. With decades of hits, no one can deny that when he takes centerstage, it’s his moment to shine, and dominate. While has commanded music from some of your favourites with his own covers, he has created quite a number of original songs over the years that found favour with listeners. Aiming to further showcase his versatility, he steps out with the upcoming new single, “Be Your Friend”.

Produced by his MS Music label, Ghost gets into Pop vibes with the release of, “Be Your Friend”. Presenting smooth vocals and his ability to command his form over the production, the Singer finds himself approaching a lady, having a conversation in hopes that they can have a fruitful connection. The track was written by Ghost and P. Wright, and it looks into bringing back the times when dating was all about presenting your best self and getting to know the person you approached. Compared to the ideals of the new generation with Apps and Social Media, Ghost shares what he believes is the right approach through song, and encourages listeners to use their words the right way. Sometimes the best relationships started out as great friendships, and love is a beautiful thing when done right.

Ghost is currently working on his new album, “Underrated”, and the project will symbolize the decades-long tenure of a Man who put his all into the music, a Man who has sometimes been left out of the important music conversations, but his talent allowed him to connect with many around the world, building a strong supporting community in the process. Many try to paint him as a cover Artist, and while many of his hits are indeed cover songs, his albums possess some amazing original songs that have become fans favourites, and scored big points with the audience during his live performances. “Underrated” is expected to see an early 2025 release. He is also gearing up for his headlining event come November 24 at the Di Lot in Kingston.

Ghost’s “Be Your Friend” will be released on October 25 through MS Music. Pre-save the single here.

OLDIES SUNDAY: The Cimarons – Paul Bogle (1976)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Monday October 14 will commence “Heritage Week” in Jamaica. The week leads up to the celebration of our National Heroes on October 21st, and the Island has a number of events lined up. We try to highlight the celebration of our heroes every year on “Oldies Sunday“, and today is no different. Today’s selection comes from The Cimarons with their track, “Paul Bogle“.

The self produced “Paul Bogle” track was released in 1976 through the Cimarak label, and it finds The Cimarons highlighting the contributions of the late National Hero, Paul Bogle. Bogle was a Deacon and Activist from the Parish of St. Thomas, and was instrumental in the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion. The song encourages everyone to say Bogle’s name loudly, and salute him for the great things he has done in prompting the freedom of Black people in Jamaica. His sacrifice was widely regarded, and he was posthumously awarded the title of National Hero by the Government of Jamaica in 1969 along with George William Gordon, who was involved in the Morant Bay Rebellion, Marcus Garvey, Alexander Bustamante, and Norman Washington Manley. He was immortalized through numerous publications, songs, events, and art, and was the face of the Jamaican 10 cent coin, the $2 bill, and since 2023, is one of the faces of the $50 bill. This past October 11 was recognized as “Paul Bogle Day” in Jamaica. The track became a favourite for many listeners thanks to its dose of knowledge, and was featured on The Cimarons’ 1976 album, “On The Rock“. It was re-recorded and released in early 2024.

Salute Our Heroes! Thank You Cimarons For This Great Song!
