Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of the Christmas season, we’re highlighting a few Christmas songs for the month of December on Oldies Sunday! Last week we visited Haiti, this week we stopped by Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago to check out the legendary Singing Francine’s “Hurray Hurrah“!

Arranged by Pelham Goddard and released through M&H Productions in 1979, Singing Francine shares the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, and highlights his importance to all of us. Over beautiful production, Singing Francine gives us a lively song that will make everyone join in clapping and singing. The track was featured on her 1979 “From Christmas…To Carnival Vol. 1” album, and her 1981 “Christmas Is Love” album. One of the Queens of Calypso with the great Calypso Rose, Singing Francine has brought joy and a lot of entertainment to anyone within earshot of her voice for many decades. “Hurray Hurrah” is one of her many Christmas releases, and is still played in various parts of the Caribbean.

Logiq Asks For “Protection” In New Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a cold world, and some hearts are pretty cold out there, but we make it a daily thing to ask the almighty for guidance through the dark times. For Trinibad artist Logiq, he needs God to watch his back in the video for his latest track, “Protection“.

Directed by LE Production a.k.a. Lord Edit, Logiq connects with nature to escape the craziness of the city, and speaks with God as he needs to be protected from those who oppose him and want to see him fail in life. When he’s back in civilization however, we see an instance of someone being fake towards him while conversing with a young lady. The badmind is real, you just have to be vigilant. Let Jah guide your steps, and not let the enemy prosper over your life. A great selection from one of the latest Trinibad artists out!

His song ‘She’s Royal’ is just huge, people are still bumping it in 2020! I think people really appreciate the legacy of that song and the link up is really big for what ‘Black Woman’ means and what I want the legacy of ‘Black Woman’ to be.
