OLDIES SUNDAY: Alborosie Ft. @EtanaStrongOne – Blessing (2008)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new month! Welcome to June, a.k.a. the Wedding month for many. Big up those who are tying the knot this month, but what’s on your Wedding Playlist? Luckily for today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, we have a suggestion. Check out Reggae Artists Alborosie and Etana’s “Blessing“.

Co-Produced with Clifton “Specialist” Dillion and released through Forward Recordings in 2008 and VP Records in 2009, Alborosie and Etana delivered what would become a part of many Wedding soundtracks in, “Blessing”. The duo share the joy of being together, joining in hearts and love, and emphasize that their union was a divine creation. The combination of their unique vocals over the powerful production make for a great listen, and shortly after its release, it became a hit. “Blessing” was featured on Etana’s debut album, “The Strong One” in 2009, and in 2014 on the “Alborosie & Friends” album. While we don’t have chart information on the track, it became a top charting song for many listeners worldwide.

Since the release of “Blessing”, Alborosie went on to have a fruitful career in Reggae. The Italy-born Artist scored more hits and released more albums, cementing his place in the culture. Etana went on to become a Reggae powerhouse, becoming the first Female Artist in nearly 20 years to be nominated for a GRAMMY. She has amassed a number of hits, but “Blessing” remains one of her biggest collaborations.

Thank you Alborosie And Etana For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Terro 3000 – In My Life (2008)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Recording Artist Terro 3000 (now known as “Road Elf”), and this one is a more serious selection. Going back to the year 2008, we tune in to “In My Life“! Produced and released by Ballaz Productions, the song finds Terro 3000 reflecting on the loss of a loved one, and how it has affected his life since. The very recognizable “I Want To Know What Love Is” single by English-American Band Foreigner was sampled on this track, and assisted Terro’s lyrics throughout.

“In My Life” became a hit for Terro 3000 as many could relate to losing a loved one, and the effects from such. He went on to release more music that became minor hits, and changed his stage name to Road Elf in the process. He has also been doing some Audio and Video Production over the years as well. If you’re still getting over the loss of a loved one, don’t be afraid to seek some comfort from close friends and family members. We all have to go through this at some point in life. Hang in there!

OLDIES SUNDAY: @ItsTheTifa – Bottom Of The Barrel (2008)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Tifa-dancehall

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from one of Dancehall’s leading ladies, Tifa. Titled “Bottom Of The Barrel” which was produced by Ward 21 and released in 2008, we hear Tifa portraying herself as being superior to many other females out there. She speaks about women who do not take care of themselves and get caught up in many careless situations and shouts out all the women who keep themselves on point at all times and stay out of distasteful situations. “Bottom Of The Barrel” was Tifa’s first top ten hit in 2008 and became a favourite for many listeners. Since then she has made her way to be hailed as one of Dancehall’s elite artists belting out hit after hit ranging from “Hot Gal” anthems, R&B singles to even songs where she showcased how lyrical she can be. She was also a part of the female trio, “TNT” with Ward 21 label mates Natalie Storm and Timberlee which produced a mixtape titled “TNT – Three The Hard Way” in the same year.

Today, Tifa is currently signed to North America based Island Kings Records, the face of “Sound Is Genius” where she has released a line of Headphones, a Digicel Jamaica Brand Ambassador and is still a sought out artist. With “Bottom Of The Barrel” added to the list of her most loved singles, she still has many more hits to add to it.

Thank You Tifa for this song!
