Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall is powerful. Since its beginnings in the late 70s/early 80s, the genre took on the world with new sounds and vibes, and giving a platform to generations of Artists. One of those Artists was Sister Nancy. As the first Female Dancehall Artist, she took her opportunity to open doors for other Women to showcase their skills, and inspire future generations. One of the Artist Nancy inspired was Bajan Recording Artist Amanda Reifer. While she’s not a Deejay, the music of Sister Nancy brought out some creativity for the Singer. Namely her track, “Bam Bam“.

Inspired by Sister Nancy’s 1982 classic single “Bam Bam“, Amanda Reifer showed off her skills on a sampling of the track for her track of the same name. Joined by her band, we get a performance, showing that she took her inspiration and ran with it. Reifer has been on the scene for a number of years, releasing music through Atlantic Records. “Bam Bam” is the 2nd live performance she has conducted over the past few days, and we may get more over time until new music hits the streams. This Woman don’t trouble no one.

Roze Don Hops On A Classic Sound For “BAM BAM”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It wouldn’t have been Summer if Dancehall Artist Roze Don didn’t make a contribution. The Deejay has managed to stay consistent with the music, and fans anticipate every release. This time around, he’s getting the ladies ready to bubble in, “Bam Bam“.

Produced by Bugzy2Flashy for 2 Flashy Records/Dark Disciple Records, Roze Don wants all the ladies to get on bad in, “Bam Bam”. The track taps into a familiar sound, which is the classic “Bam Bam” by the legendary “Riddim Twins” Sly & Robbie. “Bam Bam” gave us hits like “Murder She Wrote” by Chaka Demus & Pliers, “Dem A Bleach” by Nardo Ranks, and was sampled by many over the years (Check out our “Sampling Sly & Robbie” Playlist). Roze Don does the Riddim justice by providing a song that will have the ladies dropping the shyness, and showing off how that booty bounces on the dance floor. The track is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Banka for Bankroller Visuals, and features an appearance by Video Vixen Zho. Summer caan done just yet, tune in to some new Roze Don.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this year, US Recording Artist/Actress Janelle Monaé announced that she will be releasing her latest album, “The Age Of Pleasure“. Along with that came the single “Lipstick Lover“. While the racy visual showed another side of her, it contained the familiar sound of Dancehall Artist Mad Cobra’s 1992 hit, “Flex“. With the new album just released, a few more familiar sounds joined in.

On Janelle Monaé’s “The Age Of Pleasure” album, Jamaican Recording Artists Derrick Harriott, Barrington Levy, Sister Nancy, and Queen Patra all join Mad Cobra on a few tracks. On the 2nd track “Champagne S***“, Levy’s 1984 hit “Murderer” was sampled. The classic track also appears on the follow up track, “Black Sugar Beach“. “Murderer” was produced by Hyman Wright and Pat Chin, and released through the Grade One label. Sister Nancy’s 1982 hit “Bam Bam” was sampled on the track “Water Slide“. Patra’s “Whining Skill” from her 1993 debut album “Queen Of The Pack” was also sampled on the track. “Bam Bam” secures the title of the most sampled Jamaican song, and we have a Playlist and a few words about it here. Sister Nancy is also a featured Artist, appearing on the track, “French 75“. “Whining” was produced by Tony “CD” Kelly and Clifton “Specialist” Dillon. The legendary Grace Jones also appears on the album as a featured Artist, delivering on “Oooh La La“. Coming to the closing of the album, Derrick Harriott’s 1967 classic, “The Loser” was sampled on the track, “Only Have Eyes 42“. The track was released through Crystal Records, and produced by Harriott. Many have speculated that Monaé would have Jamaican influences on her new album, and what was brought forward did not disappoint.
