Posted on by swadedavillain

Digital music streaming giant Audiomack continues to set trends when it comes to highlighting quality music, and showcasing talented creators from around the world. The Audiomack world is filled with original content that has found favor with old and new users of the platform, and they continue to make their mark as the go-to streaming platform to build fanbases, and release unique content. They look to expand their dominance with the launch of their new Playlist series, “Made In Caribbean”.

“Made In Caribbean” is a quarterly new series that seeks to exhibit the ever-evolving style of the Caribbean Artist, the music genres that emerge from the Caribbean, and the DJs who are responsible for breaking these Artists and sounds. Derived from the success of Audiomack’s specially-curated Playlists, “Made In Caribbean” is the brainchild of Tanya Lawson, Director of Audiomack’s Strategic Marketing for the Caribbean and Gospel Music division, and is focused on putting the best on display. With 25 Islands to choose from, Audiomack will select a top DJ from each Island, who will then curate a Playlist that features homegrown talent. 

“Made In Caribbean” promises to bring an extra boost to the local music industry, encouraging more Artists to go back to their roots when creating and representing the global stage. Top selectors from the Caribbean including Jamaica’s Boom Boom, DJ Spade from Turks & Caicos, Trinidad’s DJ Echo, Rusty G from Bermuda, and TroopahLive From the Virgin Islands, Guyana’s PriinceMuzik, DJ Quest from Antigua, and Haiti’s Michael Brun have been recruited, and are gearing up to launch their respective Playlists featuring their handpicked Artists.

The new “Made In Caribbean” Playlist series makes its debut today on Audiomack.com with the first 8 Playlists, with 5 more premiering in the followup quarters. Follow @AudiomackCaribbean on Instagram, and @AudiomackCarib on Twitter to stay up to date with new updates and developments.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @GloriaEstefan – Coming Out Of The Dark (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we take the time out to feature Women who have made great contributions to our music culture. While we celebrate the Women all year over here, we recognize some through our Oldies Sunday section. For today’s selection, we head on over to Miami to check out Cuban-American Pop Artist Gloria Estefan’s “Coming Out Of The Dark“.

Produced by Emilio Estefan Jr., Jorge Casas, and Clay Ostwald, “Coming Out Of The Dark” was released through Epic Records in 1991. The track finds Gloria Estefan overcoming challenges, and emerging it a triumphant person. The song is the first release for Estefan since recovering from her near-tragic accident on March 20, 1990. The accident was a result of her Tour Bus colliding with an 18-Wheeler Truck. It left her with a broken back that had to go through delicate repair, and the event left many in deep shock as Estefan was at the height of the success of her Debut album, “Cuts Both Ways“. “Coming Out Of The Dark” was featured on her sophomore album, “Into The Light“, and secured #1 placements on the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts, #1 placements in Canada, and top 10 charting in various charts around the World. the track also won BMI and ASCAP Pop Music Awards in 1992. A Spanish version the track called, “Desde La Oscuridad” was released soon after, and was well received in Latin America.

Since the release of “Coming Out Of The Dark”, Gloria Estefan went on to secure more hits in her career. She also received stars on the Hollywood and Las Vegas Walk Of Fame respectively, awarded the Presidential Medal Of Freedom, was inducted in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and has inspired many Latin Artists, and people around the World. Gloria Estefan remains a champion, a survivor, and a powerful Woman.

Thank YOU GLORIA ESTEFAN For This CLASSIC!

GyalKapone Stays Locked & Loaded On “Syko”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist/Creative GyalKapone returns with new music! Still new to the field, she’s still developing and working her way to becoming a name to know. She has been recording, and is ready to take on the world! She recently released her new single, “Syko“.

Produced by Jingo Hol On Deh, GyalKapone goes into “John Wick” mode her as she’s out for blood. Locked and loaded, she has a few rounds for those who dare to step in her way with an intention to bring harm. Backed by good production and a melodic delivery, GyalKapone makes her “Syko” lyrics hit hard, so wear a vest and brace for the impact. She first came on the scene with “Never“, then followed up with “Mission” and “Mission (Remix)“, and even launched the “Enz Off Podcast“. While it’s too early to ask for a project, we believe GyalKapone’s breakout moment is just around the corner. If you haven’t been familiar with her yet, today is the day that changes.

Tina Drops “HoodCelebrityy” Name, Releases “I’m Back (Remix)” With Bounty Killa!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall/Hip Hop Artist Hoodcelebrityy has been on a mission to make some changes in her life. One of the changes she made recently, was dropping the “Hoodcelebrityy” name, and now going by “Tina“. Her music has taken on some change as well, but it still hits hard whenever it drops. She recently released the single, “I’m Back“, and now she gives us the remix with a Dancehall legend.

Collaborating with the “Warlord” Bounty Killa, Tina gets things shaking on “I’m Back (Remix)“. Trading lyrics with a legend, Tina sounds like she’s going to make a bigger impact this year. Produced by Troyton Rami/Black Shadow Music, the Artists tap into the classic “Buzz Riddim” which featured the timeless Sean Paul hit, “Gimme Di Light“. Bounty has been busy releasing singles over the past few months, and his collab with Tina may bring an extra dose of energy, and open up more doors for International collaborations. Tina is said to be working on a new album, so expect to hear a lot more from her in the coming weeks.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Enur X Natasja Saad – Calabria 2007 (2007)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we take the time out to feature Women who have made great contributions to our music culture. While we celebrate the Women all year over here, we recognize some through our Oldies Sunday section. For today’s selection, we head on over to Denmark for Reggae/Dancehall/Hip Hop Artist Natasja Saad’s “Calabria 2007“.

Done in collaboration with Danish Producers Enur, Natasja’s “Calabria 2007” was released through Ministry Of Sound in March 2007. The track finds Natasja sharing her thoughts on a Man who is said to be “the talk of the town”. He possesses certain characteristics that have captured her attention, and they make things happen together. The track was originally released in 2003 as a House Music Instrumental, and was remixed with Dancehall sounds, and Natasja’s deejaying skills. The track was an instant success upon release, and went #1 on US Billboard Dance charts. The track was featured in a 2007 Target back to school campaign, and was remixed by Rapper MIMS, Dominican Artist Punto Rojo, Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel, and a number of DJs and Producers.

While “Calabria 2007” was a success, Natasja Saad was not able to enjoy it in the long term as she tragically lost her life in June 2007 in Jamaica. Many still mourn her loss, and wonder what her life would’ve been like as things started to look up for her. Posthumous releases followed her death, with the final one being in 2018. Natasja made a valuable mark in the Danish and Jamaican music scenes, and “Calabria 2007” is still played around the world.

Thank You Natasja Saad, Sleep Well!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Althea & Donna – Gone To Negril (1977)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we take the time out to feature Women who have made great contributions to our music culture. While we celebrate the Women all year over here, we recognize some through our Oldies Sunday section. Today’s selection comes from the duo Althea & Donna with the track, “Gone To Negril“.

Produced by Tommy Cowan and released through Reggae Bloodlines in 1977, “Gone To Negril” finds Althea & Donna taking a trip to the Jamaican North Coast destination. An area that is home to various Tourist and local attractions, the duo share their eagerness to be there, and they chronicle their journey from getting ready, to passing through various places before reaching their final destination. While Althea & Donna found great success with “Uptown Top Ranking“, “Gone To Negril” was a minor hit for the duo, and was featured on the “Reggae Bloodlines 2” compilation album. The track was also featured in the 2017 compilation album, “Sounds & Pressure Vol. 7“.

Since the release of “Gone To Negril”, Althea & Donna continued to release a few more singles before making an exit from music. They secured a place in music, and we recognize them for “Women’s History Month”.

Thank YOu Althea & Donna!
