PRESS RELEASE: @Elliven_Musiq Gears Up To Release “Destiny”

Posted on by swadedavillain

“Destiny” is the name of the latest song to be released by International Recording Artiste/Producer Elliven featuring veteran Artiste Jah Thomas on the Retrofresh Riddim. The song showcases authentic and retro styled Deejaying of the 70’s/80’s coupled with a unique and fresh sound of the present. The Riddim was produced by Elliven for his Record Label, Nap Musiq Productions. The official release date for “Destiny” is December 15, 2015 and will be distributed by distributing giants, 21st Hapilos.

Though unofficially released, the song has been getting positive reviews for those who have had the chance to listen to it so far. “I have very high expectations for this song, especially because of the uniqueness that it offers. Jah Thomas is a DJ that was more popular in the 70’s/80’s and I reached out to him because I wanted that retro feel. Trust me, you will all love this song especially authentic reggae lovers.”

An accompanying video for the song is projected to be shot in early February. As a part of the “Destiny” campaign, a promotional video, directed by Susan Smith of Powerhouse Filmz was released in November to keep the fans anticipating.

Upcoming Projects

Fans of Elliven/Nap Musiq can look forward to greater things to come from him and his Record Label for 2016. He added, “I will be releasing many new riddims, plus new songs like “New Day,” “His Majesty,” and “Trodding Souljah.”

“2015 was a wonderful year for me and I know 2016 will be a very busy one, with upcoming show dates to be announced, which include Jamaica Carnival and US/European Tour dates.”

PRESS RELEASE: @SmoodFace Is Ready To Take Over The Industry!

Posted on by swadedavillain

As far as Producers go, Smoodface is definitely a name to be reckoned with. The Producer extraordinaire has been working tirelessly to establish a credible name for himself in the music industry. Originally from Jamaica, Smoodface migrated to the UK with one intention in mind, and that was to gain more exposure and opportunities through his music. He’s now teamed up with Glendevon Records, who saw his dream and decided to work together, to making this dream into a reality.

Smoodface bridges the gap between Reggae music and Pop music, creating something distinct and equally refreshing. With over 10 years experience in the business, he has delivered a string of hit charting music. His biggest success to date is getting his work playlist on one of the biggest Radio station in the UK, BBC 1XTRA. The songs that made their playlist include “Winter Swag” by Stylo G featuring himself and “Swag Tun Up” by Gappy Ranks featuring Russian, which was a great accomplishment for the producer.

Although he’s known widely as a Producer, Smoodface is also a noted Singer and Songwriter. His latest song “Make She Scream” has been doing tremendously well, especially on the International market and is gaining traction in the Caribbean as well. “So far I am very pleased with the responses that I have been getting, trust me it has been wonderful.”

The video for the single “Make She Scream” is doing very well and can been seen on local television channels such as Hype TV. For the rest of the year, Smoodface will be busy in the studio cooking up a storm to supply the demand for good quality production and music.

PRESS RELEASE: Frankie Paul For @ReggaeSting 2015

Posted on by swadedavillain

A performance by iconic reggae singer Frankie Paul has not been witnessed in Jamaica for quite sometime. Sting 2015 is presenting the very rare opportunity to see the legendary singer.

The Jamworld audience can look forward to oldies party anthems such as: Cassanova, Worries In The Dance, I Know The Score and Sarah, among others.

The ’80s singer welcomed the current Sting theme, ‘From Then Till Now’, revealing, “it’s time for a change. Tired of the same thing. We are the original artistes. Feels wonderful to be on it this year as legends”.

The Jamaican Stevie Wonder as he is affectionately called, said Sting’s “lyrical content and style have changed. Too much war is in the music now and that is not good. Music is life, music is love, music is peace, music is from the Almighty and we are losing that”.

He gives his stamp of approval to, Romain Virgo, Chris Martin, Aidonia, Vershon and Devin Di Dakta. He advises the next generation saying: “They need to slow down. We want conscious music to sing and dance to, music that my grandchildren and great grandchildren can dance to. Take it slow and make it peaceful”.

Frankie Paul is happy to have contributed to the industry. “I got the chance to teach people. I taught persons how to behave. I taught persons about love and adoration and even how to make babies,” he said.

He admits it has been a very long time since he last hit the stage in Jamaica. These days he gets to enjoy a life of leisure, watching movies, listening to the news, playing instruments, going to the studio and travelling. Next year, he releases a brand new album, In The Arena.

For Sting updates follow, @reggaesting on Twiiter, Instagram, Facebook and the hashtag #sting2015.
