OLDIES SUNDAY: @MorganHeritage – Tell Me How Come (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Last Sunday (February 25), the music world suffered another loss as Peter “Peetah” Morgan, lead Vocalist of Morgan Heritage, passed away. While many are saddened by the news, there are some of us who have to celebrate him in the best way we can. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we celebrate Peetah’s legacy, and celebrate the group with the selection, “Tell Me How Come“.

Produced by Donovan Bennett for Don Corleon Records on the “Seasons Riddim“, Morgan Heritage’s “Tell Me How Come” was released in 2005 through VP Records. The track speaks about the many injustices that have been happening in Jamaica, and the people who are going through it are crying out for help. They highlight the persecution of Rastafarians, corruption from those in power, crime and violence in the country, the inequalities when it comes to uptown vs downtown, Artists being locked up, and they question the validity of the Motto, “Out Of Many One People” while so much wrong is happening. Peetah Morgan leads the charge on the track, and the group share strong messages that quickly connected with the listener. “Tell Me How Come” became a hit for the group, and was featured on the group’s 2005 album, “Full Circle“. A music video, which was directed by Jay Will, was made in support of the single.

Since the release of “Tell Me How Come”, Morgan Heritage went on to release more music, dealt with band members leaving for solo careers and other ventures, solidifying their status as one of Reggae biggest groups, copped a couple GRAMMY awards as well, and recently suffered the loss of Peetah Morgan, who was fighting a long battle with illness. Morgan Heritage was many hits to their name, but “Tell Me How Come” remains a favourite for many.

Thank You Morgan Heritage For This Classic.

Sleep Well Peetah Morgan.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Gentleman – Intoxication (2004)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s another Oldies Sunday! It may be rainy where you are, or it’s dry, but we have something that’s good for both. The past few entries focused on Artists who have been influenced by Jamaica and its music, but are natives of other lands. This Sunday is no different as we head over to Germany to check out Gentleman’s “Intoxication“.

Produced by Donovan Bennett a.k.a. Don Corleon on the “Drop Leaf Riddim“, “Intoxication” was released in 2004 through Don Corleon Records. The track finds Gentleman expressing the love he has for his lady as they have been shared so much together over the years, and he will always be there for her. Her love is definitely intoxicating as Gentleman beautifully delivers the lyrics with his signature melodic sound. The “Drop Leaf Riddim” was one of the popular Riddims of the early 2000s, and “Intoxication” was a top single in the compilation as it charted in Germany, Jamaica, and Austria. “Intoxication” was featured on Gentleman’s 2004 album “Confidence“, and the 2005 “Intoxication” EP.

Since the release of “Intoxication”, Gentleman continued to have a successful music career in Europe and parts of the Caribbean. He released more singles and albums, and continues to perform around the world. Gentleman always paid tribute to Jamaica and her music that heavily inspired him, and his music is still in heavy rotation. “Intoxication” continues to be a favourite among listeners.

thank you Gentleman for this classic!

Ishawna x Ed Sheeran "Brace It" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #UK #IShawna #EdSheeran #Music #13thStreetPromotions #BraceIt #Caribbean

.@Ishawna & @EdSheeran Get To “Brace It” On Official Collaboration!

Posted on by swadedavillain

This one has been in talks for quite some time. Ever since Dancehall Artist Ishawna hijacked Recording Artist Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” for her “Equal Rights” single in 2017, we were on the lookout for a co-sign and possible collaboration between the two. It took a while, but Ed Sheeran acknowledged Ishawna’s track during a Radio Interview, and shared that he reached out to the Dancehall Artist. After all that time, we finally get a collaboration, and it’s called, “Brace It“!

Produced by Skatta Burrell, Ishawna, and Don Corleon/Don Corleonie, “Brace It” mixes Pop and Dancehall from two different Artists from two very different worlds. It’s like the Jamaican girl bringing her white boyfriend to the Island to get familiar with the music, but in song form. Ed Sheeran is encouraged by Ishawna to “wine pon mi good up“, and the two have fun on the track. Pretty interesting to hear Ed speak a lil Patois (“I nah go diss yuh never”), but overall we expect this track to make its rounds.

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Wedding SZN! For the month of June, Oldies Sunday will feature some love songs that can be a great addition to your Wedding Playlists, and could be the official song to dance to. Today we go way back with Alaine Laughton with her single, “Heavenly“! Produced by Donovan Bennett a.k.a. “Don Corleonie“ on the “Heavenly Riddim“, this was released in 2006 through Don Corleon Records, and finds Alaine making a dedication to the love of her life. With lyrics about how strong their love is, completing each other, what loving each other is like, and “finding Heaven on Earth“, Alaine gave us a beautifully performed song that’s perfect for the couples. The single was also featured on her amazing 2007 debut album, “Sacrifice“, and remains one of her more popular tracks.

Since the song’s release, Alaine went on to release more hits, performing across the world, and guiding talent on “Digicel Rising Stars” as a Judge.
