.@JermaineEdwards, @TrinixMusic, & Rushawn’s “Beautiful Day” Featured In New @Apple Campaign

Posted on by swadedavillain

Tech giant Apple has always been one of the leading companies when it comes to new devices. From the iPhones, to Macbooks, to Airpods, the company has contributed to the way people consume content, and made tasks easier. Earlier today, they launched new devices as a part of their “Wonderlust” September event. While the public will have new tech to spend money on, Apple launched a new campaign for their Apple Watch line featuring a familiar sound. It was none other than Gospel Artist Jermaine Edwards, viral sensation Rushawn Ewears, and Production duo Trinix’s “Beautiful Day (Remix)“.

“Beautiful Day” was originally recorded and released by Jermaine Edwards in 2014, but was given new life when a 2017 video of a young Rushawn Ewears reciting the song made a series of appearances on Social Media in late 2022/early 2023, and numerous remixes were made which included a version done by Trinix. To date, Trinix’s version of “Beautiful Day” has surpassed 45 Million views on Youtube, and the popularity of the viral videos and remixes helped to secure a Sony Music UK deal for Edwards, and opportunities for Ewears. Apple’s new campaign highlights the many times the Apple Watch has helped people who have had health issues, sharing a few stories throughout, and them celebrating birthdays in their respective homes. The “Beautiful Day” remix was used for the soundtrack, and will definitely boost the profiles of everyone involved.

.@SartoutRecords Continues To Strive, And Build A Legacy

Posted on by swadedavillain

Western Jamaica-based Sartout Records is holding on strong, and making big moves even amidst challenging times. The label was originally started in the early 2010s by twin brothers Darren and Dane Sortie, and together they developed a sound that stood out on the scene, and built a respectable catalogue with Artists who went on to make indelible marks in Jamaican music. From building Riddims in their room to scoring the “Top Prize”, the twin producers took on the Industry with a strong determination to win. The duo took a chance on an upcoming Artist named Alkaline, and it paid off as he went on to become a Dancehall anomaly, and they have shared a strong working and personal friendship over the years. Sartout Records is currently down to one member, Darren, as Dane passed away in 2021 due to complications from Covid 19, but the label continues to thrive.

“The journey continues with Sartout Records despite losing Dane, and there’s a lot more in store as the label has been having some great years,” shared Darren Sortie in quick chat recently. “I’m just working on more things to further honour my brother and father (who passed away along with Dane due to Covid complications), and I’m excited to share them to the world. This year already got a taste of the Sartout sound on Alkaline’s “Boss”, “Motivation”, “Nah Laugh”, “Open A Brain”, and “Cya Tame”, and they have been doing well with the fans supporting them on Youtube, and on the major streaming platforms. Alkaline was an Artist we believed in from the start, so it’s a blessing that we’re still working together in 2023.”
