.@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.

.@DamianMarley Covers The @GeorgeHarrison Classic, “My Sweet Lord”


When it comes to the “Marley” name, it has transcended generations. Damian “Junior Gong” Marley has faithfully carried on the legacy of his father Bob Marley, and created his own legacy that will be carried on by his offspring. For his latest release, he has tapped into another name that has contributed to another name that transcended generations. Marley steps out with “My Sweet Lord“.

The self-produced “My Sweet Lord” is Damian Marley’s Reggae cover of the 1970 classic that was performed by the late George Harrison. Harrison was a former member of the Iconic Rock band, The Beatles, and “My Sweet Lord” was his debut release as a solo Artist. It was also the first #1 song to be released by a ex-Beatle. Marley shared his love of the track recently, and was unaware that his father had crossed paths with the Rock band during their heyday. Marley didn’t do anything extra with the track, just lent his voice, bringing together fans of Junior Gong, Bob Marley, George Harrison, and The Beatles together. Hallelujah!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Karen Smith – Wide Awake In A Dream (1986)


This Oldies Sunday selection is for the lovers, and it comes from the “Songbird from Jamaica“, Karen Smith! Today we go back to the year 1986 with “Wide Awake In A Dream“. Produced by Clifton “Jackie” Jackson, this was a cover of a single that has been sung by the likes of Barry Biggs, The Blues Busters, Jerry Jackson, Lyn Collins, Vickie Anderson, and Ken Boothe. Once she stepped into recording mode, Smith added her own flair to the track as she expresses how she feels about the love of her life. A video was also shot for this single, and it was directed by Alfonso Walker (I remember seeing this video a lot growing up on local TV).
