OLDIES SUNDAY: Shades – She’s Gonna Marry Me (1969)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The month of June is a popular month for Weddings around the world, so why give you all something to add to the playlist? For Oldies Sunday, we go back in time to check out a track by a singing trio named Shades called, “She’s Gonna Marry Me“!

Produced by Winston Riley, Shades’ “She’s Gonna Marry Me” was released through Riley’s Techniques label in 1969. On the track, lyrics about looking forward to marriage are shared, and what the experience will be like when it comes to marrying the love of your life. Shades was a short-lived group composed of former The Techniques Vocalist Bruce Ruffin, former The Paragons member Tyrone Evans, and a 3rd singer who remained anonymous. Given that Bruce Ruffin was a member of The Techniques, some outlets printed copies of Shades’ single with credit given to The Techniques. Nonetheless, “She’s Gonna Marry Me” was a hit for Shades, and was even covered by Reggae singer Junior Delgado in 1979. Since the release of “She’s Gonna Marry Me”, Bruce Ruffin went on to work with numerous Artists and Producers, and even took on a career in Law after the disbandment of Shades, while Tyrone Evans emigrated to the United States, and continued to work with numerous Artists and Producers, and even re-joined The Paragons before passing away in 2000.

It’s a new month, and it’s a month that’s popular with Weddings so expect love songs! For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we go back in time to check out Anthony Malvo and Tiger’s (Happy Birthday to the boss!) single, “Come Back To Me“.

Reid) classic, “Two Ocassions“. Anthony Malvo sings away a cut of the original track while Tiger gives us his signature deejaying as it’s all about love here. A music video was released for “Come Back To Me”, and it featured Dancehall personality Pinky, and her sister who would become a future Dancehall Queen named Carlene. This one is for the couples out there, we hope you’re keeping the love alive during the pandemic. Play this one at a high volume!

To say that Dancehall Artist Demarco has been on the grind is an understatement. When he’s not recording and releasing singles, he’s dropping music videos, and even getting busy producing. With a new album on the way, he’s just gonna be as busy as ever. He takes on another role in the music video for his new single, “Mover“.

Directed by Demarco and featuring Konshens, the two play Football (Soccer) Coaches to all-female teams as they vie for a win. Though the match may not be on a grand scale like an UEFA Cup match, we do get to enjoy some lovely ladies tackling, scoring, and of course bubbling to the Ineffable Records produced track. Catch Demarco and Konshens going through the emotions as they each need the win. Who will the match? You’d have to tune in to find out. Demarco’s upcoming “Melody” album will be released in October 2021.

Posted on by swadedavillain

He may be currently incarcerated, but Tommy Lee Sparta’s music continues to see the light. He possesses a strong work ethic, and his fans benefit greatly as a result. While International collaborations are nothing new to him, he recently teamed up with Toronto based Rapper Killy on the track, “Love Prison“.

Produced by Khalil Tatem (Killy), Killy and Tommy Lee Sparta get into war mode as they have all their guns loaded here. With their combination of Dancehall, Hip Hop, and their respective melodies, we wouldn’t mind if they gave us more tracks together, even an EP. “Love Prison” is featured on Killy’s new “KILLSTREAK 2” project. Killy taps into his Caribbean background (his dad’s Bajan), but let’s see if he’ll reach out to some more dope Artists from the Caribbean for future releases. We hope Tommy Lee Sparta is given another chance at freedom.

One thing about Comedian Kyng Tavii, he will impersonate an artist. When that happens, expect a remix/mashup of sorts. This time around, he returns as Alkaline being reimagined as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson in his latest video.

Making a mashup of Alkaline’s “Cree” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller“, Kyng Tavii gives us a video we didn’t know we needed. See Michael “Alkaline” Jackson hit the street with a gun in his hand just being trigger happy while reciting the lyrics to “Cree”. This video did not disappoint, and we know you’ll have it on the replay for a while. Remember Foodkaline?
