OLDIES SUNDAY: Alaine – No Ordinary Love (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Welcome to the month of June on “Oldies Sunday“! In some cultures, the month is a popular one for Weddings, and today we will highlight a song that has been a part of many Wedding playlists. We go back in time to check out Alaine’s “No Ordinary Love“.

Produced by Don Corleon Records on the “Seasons Riddim” and released in 2005, Alaine sings about the type of love that grows and sticks with you in, “No Ordinary Love”. She sings about all the good that comes from the love she’s experiencing, from the cozy moments, to the lovemaking, to security that comes with being with that special someone. “No Ordinary Love” quickly became the breakout single for Alaine, making her an Artist to watch. The “Seasons Riddim” was a popular release, and the single was one of the top played singles off of the compilation. “No Ordinary Love” would be later featured on her 2007 debut album, “Sacrifice“, and has become a favourite over the years during Valentine’s Day celebrations, and on Wedding days.

Since the release of “No Ordinary Love”, Alaine went on to become one of Jamaica’s most-loved Vocalists. She previously earned fame as a child star, but after leaving life in the corporate world to pursue music, she never looked back. She would release more music over the years, held her own as a music judge on Digicel’s Rising Stars, and continues to take her music to stages in parts of the world. “No Ordinary Love” is one of her most popular singles.

Vybz Kartel Makes It About “God & Time” With 19th Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Not many Artists can reach the level of “legend” in Jamaican music, but Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel is one of those Artists who did. From achieving a cult-like following, to adding hits to his name for a couple decades, to becoming a name outside of music, not even Prison could hold him back. Now nearly two years since being free, he’s enjoying life, his family, his fans, and more success that has come his way. It wasn’t an easy journey, and like his new album, he left it to “God & Time“.

Featuring 14 tracks, Vybz Kartel is on another level with the release of his 19th album, “God & Time”. Kartel is still in top form here, showing an appreciation for where he is now, and what more he can achieve. His motivational tracks are present, but his signature girl tunes, and the music that highlights his status and rewarding lifestyle are included as well. TJ Records handles the production with a number of Composers, which include Zack Fostaty, Raphael Vivet, and Redboom Supamix. As for the features, Spice and Skillibeng show up, Vybz goes International with WizKid and Farruko, and he reunites with Shenseea and Mavado. Vybz Kartel is in a good space nowadays, and while he’s being a character thanks to his viral TikTok and Instagram content, it took God and time to get him here. Another level unlocked.

Skippa Presses The “Fast Button” On New Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Skippa continues to elevate his career. While there may be detractors and conflicts, he’s still getting to the money, and keeping the Studios busy. He recently concluded his UK Tour, and he’s staying up to date with the music releases. Earlier, he released, “Fast Button“.

Produced by Chargie Records/Caado Beatz/Rich Together, Skippa keeps the focus on the riches in, “Fast Button”. Whether getting through stage shows or off the phone, the Deejay has Rolexes to wear, Sports Cars to drive off the lot, and more things to acquire. It takes a lot to be a part of the fast life, and to maintain it as well, and while people will talk, Skippa blocks them out with the sound of the money machine. If you caught the Deejay in the UK, we hope you enjoyed his appearances.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Chevelle Franklyn – Here I Am (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The month of May being “Child Month” is coming to a close. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we highlight a time when young folks take on arguments they have no business being in. It comes in the form of a song in this case. Today, we go back into time to check out a young Chevelle Franklyn, and her track “Here I Am“.

Produced by Rohan Harrison and Arnold Edwards and released through the Rhage Records in 1989, we find a Teenage Chevelle Franklyn (then known as Chevelle) taking on the role of a Woman who is in love with a married Man in, “Here I Am”. Released at age 16, the song showcased a young star in the making with a powerful voice, and who had promise of a successful music career. “Here I Am” was beyond Chevelle’s years in subject matter, but it catapulted her into stardom quickly. The song topped the JBC Radio One Top 30 charts, the RJR Top 40 music charts, and put the Singer on a winning streak as she scooped up a number of awards, made her a household name, and opened doors which included collaborations with Shabba Ranks, Spragga Benz, Beenie Man, and later scoring an International Record Deal with Island Jamaica.

Since the release of “Here I Am”, Chevelle Franklyn made strides in music. In the late 1990s, she stepped away to focus on her faith. She would return to the scene shortly after as a Gospel Singer, enjoying success in that lane. Despite the changes in her life, many still remember that little girl who made her debut on the scene signing about big people tings. “Here I Am” continues to be well-loved by many.

THANK YOU CHEVELLE FRANKLYN FOR THIS HIT!

.@FreddieGibbs Samples Mad Cobra For “Axxtion” Track

Posted on by swadedavillain

When a Woman wants good loving, she has to get it from the right Man. US Rapper Freddie Gibbs is a Man of many things, but when it comes to the Women, he’s putting a special emphasis on them. He premiered his latest EP, “RBT” earlier, and while he continues to showcase his signature flow and lyrics, he had to do something for the ladies. He makes it extra special on the track, “Axxtion“.

Produced by Thurst and VA and samples Mad Cobra’s 1992 classic “Flex“, Freddie Gibbs knows it’s time to have fun with the ladies in, “Axxtion”. Rapping between the vocal samples and Instrumental, Gibbs makes something that will have the ladies intrigued. This isn’t his first time tapping into Jamaican music as he sampled Yami Bolo and Super Beagle, and even collaborated with Agent Sasco and Popcaan. “Flex” was produced by Clifton “Specialist” Dillon and Sly Dunbar, and has been sampled plenty of times over the years with the likes of Rihanna, Fifth Harmony, Janelle Monae, Justin Bieber, and Fabolous on that list. We hope they do the right thing and credit Mad Cobra, Specialist, and the late Sly Dunbar. Speaking of Mad Cobra, we received news that he met in a Motor vehicle accident in Florida. He is in stable condition, and we hope he recovers well.
