.@CrisCab Returns With @BobMarley’s “Is This Love” Cover


We’ve often said on here that Caribbean music hits different. Jamaican music is the vibe, and we know its effects when it touches people around the world. The Island is home to the legendary Bob Marley, and his music has inspired so much. One of the persons to be affected by his music is Miami-based Recording Artist/Musician Cris Cab. He first emerged on the scene in 2011, and scored an International hit in 2013 with “Liar, Liar“. He decided to go on a hiatus for some time, but recently returned to the scene with a special release. He presents his cover of Bob Marley’s classic, “Is This Love“.

With a Music Video directed by Andrew and Daniel Terry, Cris Cab takes it to the seashore and the Studio for his “Is This Love” cover. Armed with his Guitar, Cab delivers in the best way he knows to do the iconic song justice. “Is This Love” was originally performed by Bob Marley & The Wailers and released in 1978. The track was featured on the “Kaya” album, and later the “Legend” compilation album. It was certified Gold and Platinum in a number of countries, and was also covered by the likes of Rihanna, Carly Simon, Adam Lambert, and Corrine Bailey Rae, who won a GRAMMY for it in 2012. It was also sampled by Outkast, James Blunt, Toosii, and Prince among others. Cris Cab returns to music in fine style.

Janeel Mills Covers An Amy Winehouse Classic In “Johnny”


Jamaican Songbird Janeel Mills has been blessing the world with her voice, and gracing stages for a number of years. She has worked with some of your favourite Artists, and special moments are made instantly when she sings her first note. Recently, she tapped into one of her musical inspirations for a track called, “Johnny“.

Produced by Makiri Whyte, Janeel Mills channels the late Amy Winehouse in “Johnny”. Covering the 2007 hit single “Valerie“, Mills gives us a different perspective with her cover as she speaks of a Man she loves. “Valerie” was originally recorded by English Indie Rock Band The Zutons in 2006, but was covered the same year by Winehouse, and released in 2007 as a collaboration with Producer Mark Ronson. The song went on to go 3x Platinum. Mills not only does the cover justice, but give it a Reggae feel from its original Pop/Jazz sound. Accompanying the track is a Music Video directed by Ifidel Williams, and it finds Janeel reminiscing on the good times with her lover, in between solo performances of the track. Tune in to something that will bring some calm your way. R.I.P. Amy Winehouse.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Alton Ellis – Willow Tree (1967)


After dropping Raine Seville’s “Willow Tree” yesterday, I felt it was only right to play one of the original songs. Today I feature a song by the late Alton Ellis a.k.a. the GodFather of Rocksteady. Titled “Willow Tree” and produced by Coxsone Records in 1967, this was a cover of Chuck Jackson’s “My Willow Tree” which was done in 1962 but never made it to the music charts. This song is about finding new song all while sparing the “Willow Tree” from sharing the pain of past failed relationships.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Garnet Silk – Mama (1992)


In celebration of Mothers’ Day I feature another song as a tribute to mothers, this time it’s done by the late Garnet Silk. Titled “Mama” and produced by Courtney Cole in 1992, this was a cover version of Clarence Carter’s hit “Patches” which was done in 1970. “Patches” was also a cover of Chairmen of the Board’s hit which was also done in 1970. In the song Garnet sings about his mom being there for him all his life and even though his father died when he was very young his mom played both parental roles. He also sang about working hard to take care of his mom in return.
