Bella Blair Returns With “Tired Of You” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

There’s a time to be a creative, and there’s a time to deal with life. For a number of years, Bella Blair entertained the world with her comedy skits, and her music. She dominated her lane on Social Media, and aimed to stand out with her music as she blended genres, while still being true to her roots. Over the past few years, she slowed down a bit to focus on family. Her creativity however, never stopped, and she would share bits of it to the outside world. Recently, she announced that the creativity bug is eager to be outside again, and earlier she released her latest single, “Tired Of You“.

Produced by Kevon “Webbo” Webster, Bella Blair gets back into her Pop/R&B Music vibe with the release of, “Tired Of You”. When it comes to a situation that doesn’t mean you well, the aim is to get out. Bella shares her frustration and deception that she experienced, and she made every move to break out of it. She doesn’t sound sad here, but rather she’s relieved, and will maintain her distance, making herself happier in the long run. Bella never followed the norm when it came to her music, and we can expect this one to not only make its way onto radio rotation, but make appearances Internationally. Mama took a break, but she’s back outside.

Produced by Byron Lee and featuring Dancehall legend Admiral Bailey and released through Dynamic Sounds in 1995, Oscar B along with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires delivered a track that really the people dancing the “Soca Tatie”. The “Tatie” dance was introduced in the Dancehall scene previously, but the Soca touch gave it a bigger presence. The vibes paired with some upbeat production and vocal contributions from Oscar B and Admiral Bailey became a hit instantly, becoming a part of a large catalogue of hits. “Soca Tatie” was featured on the band’s 1995 album of the same name.

Since the release of “Soca Tatie”, Oscar B continued working with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires until Lee’s passing in 2008, and after when the band was renamed “The Dragonaires”.
