Tune In To @SarkAmbassador’s “Channels” EP

Posted on by swadedavillain

For a number of years, Trinidad’s Sarkastik Ambassador has been utilizing his creativity for a variety of things. He has dabbled in music, he lent his style in design projects, and he scoped out something unique in his visual and audio productions. This time around, he wants to take his music to new levels, and he does so with the new “Channels” EP.

Featuring 5 tracks, Sarkastik Ambassador reflects on love in the past, the highs and lows that he experienced in them, which ultimately brings him to the best love he has experienced, and he takes his listeners through the many feelings associated with them in a not so typical way. Sark showcases his way of the putting the words together to hold your attention, tapping into production that feels like the right fit throughout. Seviin Media, Dechode Mode, and Track7Music handle the production on the new EP while Freetown Collective gets recruited for one track.

“I wanted ‘Channels’ to be a reflection of my journey, not just as an artist, but as a person navigating through various phases of life and love,” says Sarkastik Ambassador. “Each track is a chapter of that story, leading to the most fulfilling relationship I’ve ever had. I hope listeners can find pieces of their own stories within these songs. I also tried to explore different genre fusions, with each song starting in the realm of R&B.”

Sarkastik Ambassador makes a big move in his career, and you’re all invited to listen.

.@FousheeLive Samples Prince Buster’s “Ghost Dance” For Her “war” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

New Jersey-based Recording Artist Fousheé recently announced her upcoming sophomore album, “Pointy Heights“. Dedicated to the St. Catherine community of Pointy Heights and her Jamaican background, Fousheé looks to deliver some of her best music yet while tapping in some sounds from the Caribbean. The sound is evident in her newest single, “war“.

Fousheé handles the production on her new single, “war”, as she speaks on the need for peace and harmony as she has had times where there were conflicts in her life. She makes note that there is power in the tongue, and she is having the kind of peace where she’ll even pray for her opps. Her vocals emphasize the peace that many of us need, but the production taps into a sound that may perk some ears. “war” features a sample of the late Ska Pioneer Prince Buster’s 1967 track, “Ghost Dance“. The self-produced track features Buster having a conversation with a friend who is no longer among the living through the writing of a letter, and sending well wishes to others who have passed away. The track also features backing vocals from a young Lee “Scratch” Perry (ah, duppies...), and was featured on the 1967 album, “Judge Dread“.

Fousheé looks to bring a new vibe to the world when she releases her “Pointy Heights” album on September 13, through RCA Records.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Matumbi – Empire Road (1978)

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are songs that have made an impact in the culture that may have fallen by the wayside over the years, but because of “Oldies Sunday“, they get a chance to reconnect with familiar ears, and connect with the new generation. Today, our selection comes from British Reggae Band Matumbi with the track, “Empire Road“.

Matumbi’s “Empire Road” was produced by the Band, and released it through the Harvest label in 1978. The track was a theme song from the short-lived BBC series of the same name, which was written by Guyanese-British Writer Michael Abbensetts, and starred Guyanese-British Actor Norman Beaton (Desmond’s), Trinidadian-British Actress Corrine Skinner-Carter (Eastenders), and St. Lucian-British Actor Joseph Marcell (The Fresh Prince Of Belair).

The series was set in a street in Birmingham, England called “Empire Road” that hosted a racially diverse mix of African-Caribbean, East Indian, and South Asian residents, highlighting the day to day incidents that occur there through the life of a Residential Property Landlord. The series made history as the first British Television series to be written, directed, and acted predominantly by Black Artists. The song highlights the clash of cultures from food to way of life in the community, but making a call for better living there. While the song was originally made for the TV series, it gained a lot of popularity to the point where it had to be released as an official single. The track was featured on the Band’s 1978 debut album “Seven Seals“.

Since the release of “Empire Road”, Matumbi went on to become one of the top British Reggae Bands in the 1970s and early ’80s. They released a number of singles and albums until their split in 1982, with some members having solo careers, and others joining The Cimarons and The Squad. “Empire Road” still has a place in the hearts of many, and holds a significant place in British Black History.

Thank You Matumbi For This Classic!
