OLDIES SUNDAY: @GloriaEstefan – Coming Out Of The Dark (1991)

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 head on over to Miami to check out Cuban-American Pop Artist Gloria Estefan’s “Coming Out Of The Dark“.

Produced by Emilio Estefan Jr., Jorge Casas, and Clay Ostwald, “Coming Out Of The Dark” was released through Epic Records in 1991. The track finds Gloria Estefan overcoming challenges, and emerging it a triumphant person. The song is the first release for Estefan since recovering from her near-tragic accident on March 20, 1990. The accident was a result of her Tour Bus colliding with an 18-Wheeler Truck. It left her with a broken back that had to go through delicate repair, and the event left many in deep shock as Estefan was at the height of the success of her Debut album, “Cuts Both Ways“. “Coming Out Of The Dark” was featured on her sophomore album, “Into The Light“, and secured #1 placements on the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts, #1 placements in Canada, and top 10 charting in various charts around the World. the track also won BMI and ASCAP Pop Music Awards in 1992. A Spanish version the track called, “Desde La Oscuridad” was released soon after, and was well received in Latin America.

Since the release of “Coming Out Of The Dark”, Gloria Estefan went on to secure more hits in her career. She also received stars on the Hollywood and Las Vegas Walk Of Fame respectively, awarded the Presidential Medal Of Freedom, was inducted in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and has inspired many Latin Artists, and people around the World. Gloria Estefan remains a champion, a survivor, and a powerful Woman.

Thank YOU GLORIA ESTEFAN For This CLASSIC!

.@SizzlaOfficial Teams Up With @ChefLoDeezy on “Consistent”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Music Icon Sizzla Kalonji continues to show the world that he’s not wasting the gifts that he was blessed with. With a work ethic that’s still impressive, best believe Sizzla’s working on new projects to release later this year. In the meantime we get singles, including this new collaboration called, “Consistent“.

Produced by SpaceAgeRasta for Artekal Music, “Consistent” is a collaboration between Sizzla and US-based Rapper/Culinary Chef Cheflodeezy. Together they deliver motivational lyrics, and blend their sounds and influences for an enjoyable track. While Cheflodeezy steps out with a different energy, Sizzla gives us that classic falsetto throughout. Accompanying the new collab, is a music video directed by Steven Bernard. They share their hardships, but are grateful for the many blessings that have been bestowed their way. What are you grateful for today?

.@Kris_Karz Gets Left On ‘Read’ On New Single, “Text Me.”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Remember “Free Nights“? For my Caribbean readers, the free SMS texts and minutes services offered by local Mobile Carriers were some of the best times when we first owned Cellphones. While those days have been replaced by Apps like Whatsapp, iMessage, Telegram, Facebook Messenger etc., we still go through some of the issues when communicating with someone. Anyway, we have new music from Producer/Recording Artist Kris-Karz, and it’s called, “Text Me.“.

On the track, Kris-Karz finds himself in a situation with a young lady where the communication has been going left a few times. While he shares a lot with her, she’s on the other line posting on Social Media, falling asleep to Grey’s Anatomy, and finding excuses to not get back to him. If he’s ugly just say that. These type of scenarios happen all the time, but it’s recommended that Communication improves on both sides, or just call it a day. Kris always finds himself in these games, and he’ll share a lot more when he finally releases his debut project sometime this year (*crosses fingers*).

Kris Karz - Reciprocation on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Miami #Florida #Music

.@Kris_Karz Starts The Year Off With “Reciprocation”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Kicking off the new year with music is Producer/Recording Artist Kris-Karz! While he made a return to music releases late last year, he’s ready to take his career to the next level. With a project seeing a possible release later this year, Kris is setting up for a great rollout. Still relatively new to the scene as a Recording Artist, he is leaving great impressions with every song. We hope it doesn’t change with the release of the track, “Reciprocation“.

Turning up the tempo on this one, Kris-Karz gives us some slick lyrics paired with some jammin’ production that Musicians Keshawn Allen and Coombs assisted with (inspired by late Rapper Mac Miller’s “Self Care” album and made at Producer J.L.L.’s house) that is sure to make him stand out this year. Kris isn’t your average Producer, so you’re not gonna expect nothing less as an Artist. With lyrics that find him going through the adventures of love and relationships (with some back seat action going on), listeners will relate to this one, and definitely show it a lot of love. We look forward to the visual for this one. If you’re not familiar with Kris-Karz yet, check out his content here.

Kris Karz - "ENERGY" Music Video for 13thStreetPromotions.com

.@Kris_Karz Brings “ENERGY” To Your Screen With New Visual

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this year, Producer/Recording Artist Kris Karz released the groovy single, “ENERGY” with Singer Timothy David. Featuring smooth vocals and witty lyrics paired with a dope production, it was Kris’ 3rd single that was leading up to a project that had a possible Summer 2021 release. With life being life and Covid’s still running the show, those plans were postponed. Now with a renewed focus, Kris Karz is back to give the world for content. Today, we get the visual for “ENERGY“!

Directed by Dylan Golden, Kris Karz brings his A-game to your screen! Throughout the “ENERGY” video we can see him making some smooth moves on a beautiful Afro lady (played by Dyna Edyne), giving us some 70s Soul vibes. When he’s not getting into some player vibes, he takes it to the stage by performing with his band that consists of Kris Karz on keys, and Kris Karz on Guitar. Timothy David shows up throughout the video as well to deliver the hook. Kris Karz continues to give us dope visuals to go with his singles, and we know he has a lot more in store. If you haven’t been getting familiar with him, you need to change that now!

Jamaica Miami Virginia Key Beach Park History Life Is A Circle Blog 13thStreetPromo 13thStreetPromotions Junior Gong Music Video Caribbean Black History

.@DamianMarley Shares The History Of Virginia Key Beach In “Life Is A Circle” Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music has always been something that entertains, but it also seeks to educate fans as well. Known for dropping lyrical selections but also delivering knowledge and conscious music, Damian “Junior Gong” Marley continues to do just that. Today, we check out the video for the single, “Life Is A Circle“.

Directed by B+ and shot in Miami, Florida, Junior Gong not only gives us a performance of his single, but schools us on the history of the Virginia Key Beach (the video’s true location) which was Miami’s first “Colored Only” Beach which welcomed Black people and other marginalized communities. We learned that the Beach was possible due to many protests, and over the years faced closures until it was considered an ecological treasure and re-opened for good in 2008. Always something of high quality when it comes to Junior Gong, a living legend.
