.@BurnaBoy Gets Back To Life With An “Update”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The “African Giant” has been a topic of discussion over the past few months in regards to his love life among other things, but he’s doing what he does best, and that is deliver the music. Burna Boy has amassed success that is beyond measure for some, but he has worked his way up for it. With a new album on the way, he has been releasing a number of singles since last year. This time around, he’s giving us an “Update“.

Directed by UAX Studio, Burna Boy shares his continued rise, and his focus on receiving good energy daily in “Update”. The video features a mix of him enjoying a life of luxury, while other scenes promote strength (as shown in the “Tug of War” scene), unity, and gaining success. The video also pays homage to the “Soul Train” era of the 1970s. “Update” was produced by P2J, and is the second single off of Burna’s upcoming album, “No Sign Of Weakness“. The track also sampled Soul II Soul’s 1989 hit single, “Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)“. It’s Burna Boy’s season, and you can look forward to even more from him later this year.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Jimmy Cliff – We All Are One (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Reggae Month in Jamaica, and we continue to show respect to those who have contributed to the further development and success of Reggae on “Oldies Sunday“. Today’s entry highlights a Jamaican Rockstar who helped to set the standard. We look back at Jimmy Cliff, and his track, “We All Are One“.

Produced by Amir Bayyan, Jim Bonnefond, and Ronald Bell and released through Columbia/CBS in 1983, Jimmy Cliff promoted unity in “We All Are One”. Cliff reminds us that despite our race, age, culture, and nationality, we are all human with similar qualities and features at the end of the day, and we should treat each other better. Cliff delivers melodies over some solid production that taps into Reggae and Pop sounds, and “We All Are One” quickly became a hit for him. The single was featured on Cliff’s GRAMMY-nominated 1983 album, “The Power And The Glory“. Jimmy Cliff was one of the Artists who helped in bringing Reggae to International popularity in the early stages, and has inspired many around the world.

Since the release of “We All Are One”, Jimmy Cliff went on to release more music. He is a 2 time GRAMMY winner, was given the Order of Merit by the Government of Jamaica, was assigned as a Peace Ambassador for the United Nations, has been a part of many Humanitarian campaigns, and continues to contribute to the extension of Reggae music around the world. “We All Are One” remains one of his memorable hits.

Thank You Jimmy Cliff For This Classic!
