J’Calm Pursues Love In Visual For “Tempted” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

With all that has been happening in the week, we’ll take it down a notch a lil with this new release. An Artist who has been putting in the work for a while, Recording Artist/Producer J’Calm is steadily gaining a footing in the music scene. He recently stepped out with the Summer single, “Tempted“, and is now following it up with the official Music Video.

Shot in Kingston, Jamaica, we see a story unfold in “Tempted” where J’Calm pursues a love interest. The video finds him reaching out to her at the famous Artwalk in Downtown Kingston, and after a few conversations, they meet up at a house party where they got to know each other better. Simple but clean visual, and listeners can enjoy “Tempted” in more ways than one. The 5K Records/Sony Music Ent. UK release has been gaining traction over the past few days thanks to TikTok, it even caught the attention of former US President Barack Obama who added it to his official Summer Playlist (The Playlist also featured Toots And The Maytals, who have been regulars on there). J’Calm may become a bigger name in the coming months, so be on the lookout for more releases. She pretty like a night in Memphis.

.@Baaba_JJ Gives Us The “Okay Baby, Let’s Do This” EP

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ghanaian Musician/Recording Artist Baaba J has been blessing the world with her melodies and sounds for a number of years. What first started as dream during her younger years have now turned into a full fledged career, scoring a following globally, and providing her various opportunities. It has been a while since she released her debut project, “Lumumba St.“, and she now steps out with her sophomore effort, the “Okay Baby, Let’s Do This” EP.

Featuring 7 tracks, Baaba J gives the world a reintroduction on “Okay Baby, Let’s Do This”. The project is filled with words of motivation, positivity, and it taps into the Ghanaian culture as you can hear Twi spoken throughout. The Afro-Fusion production on OBLDT was made possible by MERK, 4Play, NiiQuaye, Loudaa, and GuiltyBeatz, and they help to amplify Baaba’s words and melodies throughout. With two EPs in, we can expect her debut album to be one of those monumental moments that will really have the world’s attention. Until then, tap into the sounds of Baaba J. Who knows, maybe we’ll hear her collaborate with one of our Jamaica Artists in the future.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Louisa Mark – Caught You In A Lie (1975)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we take the time out to feature Women who have made great contributions to our music culture. While we celebrate the Women all year over here, we recognize some through our Oldies Sunday section. For today’s selection, we stop in London to check out the late Louisa “Markswoman” Mark and her track, “Caught You In A Lie“.

Produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd, “Caught You In A Lie” was released through Safari Records, and the Gussie label in 1975. The track was a cover of US Singer Robert Parker’s 1967 single, “I Caught You In A Lie“, and Louisa Mark owned it with beautiful vocals and delivery as she spoke about catching a cheating lover, and discovering what he was up to. The song was performed by a 15 year old Mark, who was a big winner at various talent shows, and was a result of  her first recording session which was given to her by Dodd. The song became an instant hit and was well loved by listeners in Europe and other parts of the world, and was considered the first Lovers Rock single.

Since the release of “Caught You In A Lie”, Louisa Mark followed up with a couple more hits, and released her only album “Breakout” in 1981 (“Caught You In A Lie” would be later added in a remastered version of the album). She enjoyed a career in the 80s that saw the release of some singles, but life happened, and she didn’t put out anymore music until 2004. Sadly she passed away in 2009, but she left her mark (no pun intended) on music with kicking off the official Lovers Rock movement.

Thank You Louisa Mark For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Red Rat – Shelly Ann (1996)

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to your reputation, many will go all out to protect it. When rumors are spread about you, it can be a very dangerous thing. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection dabbles a little of both of those situations. Today, we highlight a classic from Dancehall Artist Red Rat called, “Shelly Ann“.

Produced by Danny Browne on the “Scandal Riddim“, and released through the Main Street label in 1996. On the track, Red Rat shares with the world the story of a young Woman named Shelly Ann who has built a reputation for herself. Whether true or false, the rumors about her being very promiscuous, gives sexual favors for just about anything, and not having any ambition outside of having many men were spread far and wide. Despite all that’s going on, her Mother is unaware of her Daughter’s activities, and it would get ugly if she was to find out.

“Shelly Ann” though controversial, was a hit for Red Rat, and helped to pave the way for a successful music career. “Shelly Ann” was featured on his 1997 debut album, “Oh No…It’s Red Rat“, and is still one of the Artist’s most recognized singles. Since the release of “Shelly Ann”, Red Rat scored a few more hits, and is still active in the Dancehall circles. Be wary of the rumors spread about you. Oh no! Poor Shelly Ann.

thank you Red Rat for this classic!

*Thanks to Genelle Golding for requesting a Red Rat single for this series!
