OLDIES SUNDAY: Conrad Crystal – True Love (1986)

Posted on June 21, 2026June 28, 2026 by swadedavillain

First off, shout out to all the real Fathers on “Father’s Day”!

A few days ago, we lost another Jamaican Icon. Conrad Crystal, a Singer who definitely had a few children in music along with his own, passed away. On today’s “Oldies Sunday“, we pay tribute to a Man who had a voice that commanded the stage. We go back in time to check out, “True Love“.

Produced by Michael Jeffers and released through the Thunder Bolt Label in 1986, Conrad Crystal sings about two hearts finding their way back to each other in, “True Love”. He reflects on the bond he has with his lady, the conflicts they may have had, and despite them parting ways before, they found their way back to each other. In the end, real love never dies. “True Love” quickly found popularity after its release, and was loved in the homes, and in the streets, becoming a massive hit for the Singer. The single was featured on his 1988 debut album of the same name, and continued to win over fans over the years through live performances, and performances on various Sound Systems. It even got new life in the 2000s when Sugar Roy collaborated with Conrad Crystal on a new version of the track.

Since the release of “True Love”, Conrad Crystal went on to release more music, but they never surpassed the success of “True Love”. Sadly, Crystal passed away on June 17 at the age of 61 after a battle with Cancer. “True Love” still gets plenty love today, and his contributions will not be forgotten.

Thank You Conrad Crystal For This Hit! Sleep Well.

.@RieOsei Steps Out From Behind The Mask In “Simon Says”

Posted on June 20, 2026June 27, 2026 by swadedavillain

When it comes to love and relationships, there is a lot of good, but also a lot of bad. Some people live their best lives in love, others lose themselves due to mistreatment and deception. For those lost, some find themselves and flourish, others are not so lucky. For Ghana/Chicago-based Recording Artist Rie Osei, her experience in a relationship put her in a place that she needed to get out of. She talks about it in, “Simon Says“.

Produced by Portia Brajkovic for OWIA, Rie Osei takes heartbreak, loss of self, and disappointments, and turns them into a moment of reflection, and a chance to break free for better in, “Simon Says”. The relationship she was in found her wearing a mask, and it played a major part of losing her identity and changed behaviour in the relationship. The mask may have provided a false sense of hope, control, and protection, and it hid the real person that she is, but the moment of reflection found her realizing what’s happening to her, making her more determined to break out, and find the person she truly is. The mask is highlighted in the single’s Abdul Arafat-crafted artwork, and it pays homage to her Ghanaian masquerade culture. “Simon Says” will resonate with many, and it looks to be a fixture in the coming days.
