.@Aidonia4thGenna & @GovanaGenna Get The Ladies Moving On “Earthquake”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

For quite some time, fans have been anticipating a collaborative project from Dancehall Artists Aidonia and Govana. Despite releasing a few singles, no album has shown up in the past couple years. While life has had some turns for the Artists, it looks like things are looking to pick up for them. Getting back to business, they release the visual for “Earthquake“!

Directed by Shane Creative and Ruption, Aidonia and Govana are here for the ladies on the Chimney Records-produced “Earthquake”. While they previously displayed how potent their lyricism can be, they use this time to get the ladies moving. For all the ladies who missed shaking it to a Didi and Govi song, “Earthquake” is for you to have fun to. We hope Aidonia and Govana’s project sees the light of day this year, but if not, we expect to hear a lot more from them. Ladies, it’s your time to show off!

Now with a few hits to his name, Yaksta is ready to take his career to the next level. He set the scene with a few singles over the past few months, and now he finally released his debut album, “22“.

Featuring 20 tracks, the “Bush Lawd” takes his talents to a bigger platform with “22”. The new album finds Yaksta in a good place, and he showcases some of his diversity in his lyrics and flow.

Posted on by swadedavillain

On February 8, the music world lost one of the most influential persons in Pop Music, the late Burt Bacharach. With his songwriting, production, and various compositions whether solo or done with collaborators, Bacharach has given us some of the greatest songs and sounds, helped to elevate the careers of some of the best Artists including Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, and Dusty Springfield, and scored Films such as “Casino Royale” (a James Bond Parody), “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid“, “Arthur“, and “A Boy Called Po“. His work has influenced many, and in our latest Playlist, we cover some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered his songs.

In the “Jamaica Sings Burt Bacharach!” Playlist, we’ve featured 18 tracks that have given hit songs from the late Burt Bacharach a Jamaican touch. From Dennis Brown, to Wayne Wonder, to Diana King, to Dobby Dobson, get yourself familiar or reacquainted with some great music that came to life by Bacharach’s genius. Jamaicans covering some of your favourite International songs always went hand in hand, and we hope to cover a few more like this in the future. Sleep well Burt Bacharach.

Yaawdi Releases Visual For “Pray”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Yaawdi is on a mission to bring nothing but great music to the world. Originally from Martinique, he has been making his name in Jamaica and various parts of the world thanks to his affiliations with Sizzla Kalonji and Judgment Yard. Staying true to his mission, he released the visual for the track, “Pray“.

For those unfamiliar with Yaawdi’s delivery, he performs “Pray” mostly in French. Despite the language barrier for some, Yaawdi gives the people a positive message, and we should stay true to our beliefs in order to make the right choices moving forward. The video was mostly shot in Martinique, and we get a glimpse of the Island that Yaawdi calls home. Life is filled with many challenges, but with strong faith and prayer, it gets easier. If you haven’t been familiar with Yaawdi, check him out today.
