Posted on by swadedavillain

After bursting on the scene with her break through song featuring the proclaimed “King of the Dancehall” Beenie Man, Starface, one of Dancehall’s newest sensations has followed up with another street banger titled “Hold My Man”. “The reason why I recorded this single is because there are women who strive on other women partners and feel like the time they spent with your partner you would give up.” Starface explains. The song was produced by Canadian based record label Konsequence Musik. “Hold My Man” is the second song Starface has done for the label, her first being “Ride or Die”, which sparked a great feedback from the public.

Starface is a female artiste from Portmore, who is known for her savvy style and catchy lyrics. “Mi have weh fi hold my man/ Di best body in  the whole island/ Bum pon di song whole night long/” Starface deejays on the raunchy but catchy track. The single was released on iTunes August 27 and since its release, Starface has been receiving a good response from her fans via social media. Delighted with the reaction from her peers, Starface and her team has decided to shoot a video for the single and build a campaign around it. Catching up with the artiste, she reveals that she has a lot of new track in the pipeline and she is here to take over 2015 and beyond.

PRESS RELEASE: @DBurnzMusic & The FlashMob Ignited @CarifestaXII

Posted on by swadedavillain

Though oftentimes overlooked, there is no denying the fact that the arts are a unifying phenomenon. It is for this reason that the recently concluded Carifesta XII in Haiti was such a beloved event among Caribbean nations, the people, and the various artistes and performers from the participating territories.​ ​The 10 day festival ran from August 21st to August 30th.

Melbourne Douglas and his backing band more popularly known as ‘dBURNZ and the Flashmob’ were among several groups that represented Jamaica at the festival. Their performances began on August 23 at the Le Caye Beach Party where they were well received by an audience of approximately thirty thousand (30,000) patrons. Performances continued at several venues including Place Boyer and Champs de Mars Grand Market where the group closed the Jamaica Night Celebrations, performing after their musical colleagues Raging Fyah. Their final appearance saw them closing off Jamaica’s segment of the CARIFESTA closing ceremony at the Kiosque Occide Jeanty amphitheatre. With their original number, “Revolution” and rendition of Bob Marley’s “Could You be Loved”, they had thousands of people in a frenzy as they chanted “Say something, CARIFESTA!! Say something Aiyti Aiyti (Haiti Haiti)!!”

Appearing at Carifesta 2015 is just another indication of the growth of dBURNZ who began working with the members of The Flashmob in 2012. Through impressive performances over the past three years including performances at the previous Carifesta in Suriname with the UWI Pop Society, their prominence has grown tremendously as they continue to demonstrate their talent beyond Jamaica’s borders.

Other acts from Jamaica included Reggae band Raging Fyah, Amina Blackwood Meeks, Craft Vendors and dance troupes L’Acadco and the National Dance Theatre Company. The event – which is billed as a celebration of the region and its people – was thoroughly enjoyed by thousands of patrons.

The mother, entrepreneur and entertainer has highlighted that she has been booked for several major shows and has been dominating several stages but has still been underestimated. Additionally in the past she has been the face of several corporate brands in the capacity of Brand Ambassador. D’Angel added “I am a new Angel. I am more focused on my music and my family and I am working to break barriers and make my fans proud. I have always kept my head high amidst all adversities and I will continue to show my fans and family that no matter what is thrown your way no one can control your destiny but you and God”.

PRESS RELEASE: @TabetaCshae Takes A Trip Down Memory Lane

Posted on by swadedavillain

TabetaCshae

Singer Tabeta Cshae was touted as one of the best cameo performances at Reggae Sumfest two years ago. After a brief hiatus, has returned to the spotlight with a spanking new music video aptly titled, “Memory Lane.” The video is directed by Ricardo Williams of Sky High Films. Producers, Antay Muziq have made the single available via iTunes and all major music stores via Zojak worldwide, effective today.

The singer is jubilant about her fresh projects, yet focused. She’s determined to achieve her life long aspiration, to leave her own impression on the music industry, as her icons Mariah Carey and Sizzla Kalonji have already done.

Tabeta believes, “A lot of people are familiar with the voice but not the face. They know the song, “Spartan Angels” done with Tommy Lee. My voice has been apart of projects for Sly and Robbie, Barrington Levy, Handel Tucker, the beautiful Etana and many more.”

Her new management team headed by Marlon Baugh of City Rock Entertainment has already began rolling out plans to achieve more prominence for the vocalist’s image. One of the many steps includes Fi Wi Media’s, “Artiste Jamaica – Island Tour 2015”. This is a month long tour covering all major towns throughout Jamaica where Tabeta performances live. She will then move on to a US promo tour that begins on September 19th.

I will be in the states next month to promote a hot new track,” Tonight” for YE Productions. The video is on it’s way with a projected release date of late October. There are lots more in the pipeline, production-wise; it’s a good look for me at this point. The aim is taking it to the next level”, Tabeta declared.
