For all the TV junkies, a new show has emerged, and we know you’ll tune in. Recently, Amazon premiered their new series, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” on their Prime Video platform. Inspired by the 2005 Film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the series stars Actor/Producer/Recording Artist Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino, and Actress/Writer Maya Erskine who play Assassins/Secret Agents for an organization under the cover of a married couple. The Spy Comedy/Action series has been anticipated for quite some time, its soundtrack features some great tracks. In a couple episodes of season 1, familiar music from Jamaica was featured.
In Episodes 2 and 3 of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, “Pearls” by the late Vocalist Alton Ellis, and “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” by Reggae Singer Cornel Campbell were played in a couple scenes respectively. “Pearls” was produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd for Studio One, and featured on Ellis’ 1969 “The Best Of Alton Ellis” compilation. “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” was produced by Bunny “Striker” Lee, and released through the Jackpot label in 1972. “Girl Of My Dreams” was sampled by La Fine Equipe, and by Naomi Cowan for her hit single, “Paradise Plum“. Both songs are certified classics, and made for great additions for the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” soundtrack, which also features other songs with love themes. If you haven’t been familiar with the new series, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
