OLDIES SUNDAY: Sasha & Turbulence – We Got The Love (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

June is coming to a close, but we had one more song for those who have a Wedding Playlist in mind. Love is all “Oldies Sunday” brings, and we can say with confidence that Jamaican Artists make some great love songs. Today, we go back in time to check out Sasha and Turbulence’s “We Got The Love“.

Produced by Mikey Bennett on the “My Friends Riddim” and released in 2005 through VP Records, Sasha and Turbulence not only promoted that authentic love, but celebrated their own love story in, “We Got The Love” (also known as “We Have Got Love“). Both Artists were an item at the time, and have released a number of singles together. “We Got The Love” helped to propel their respective brands, and it became a hit. The single would go on to be included in Sasha’s debut album “Sexy Body Sasha“, but the album was later shelved.

Since the release of “We Got The Love”, Sasha and Turbulence would go on to build their respective careers. Their relationship would fall apart soon after the single’s release, but they remained friends up to this day, even appearing together in music videos. While Turbulence would have a steady growth in Reggae, Sasha would go on to become a Gospel Artist using the name “Sista Sasha“. “We Got The Love” remains a favourite for many, and may be a part of some Wedding Playlists soon.

Thank You Sasha & Turbulence For This Hit!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Hopeton Lindo – Slaughter (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

When you hear the whistle, you know you’re gonna hear a big tune! Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Recording Artist Hopeton Lindo. Stepping in like a General, we check out “Slaughter“! Produced by Mikey Bennett, the single was released through Two Friends Records in 1991. On the track, Hopeton kicks it off with his famous whistling before delivering some bad bwoy lyrics to those who think they’ll get the upper hand when they confront him. A song that’s fitting for any Sound Clash, Hopeton Lindo was ready to send all opponents to the cemetary when they step into his area for battle. “Slaughter” was a popular track for Hopeton, and was featured on his critically acclaimed debut album, “The Word” in 1992.

Since “Slaughter”, Hopeton Lindo went on to make more music, and did some production as well. He was responsible for penning the classic JC Lodge “Telephone Love“, and Deborahe Glasgow’s “Champion Lover” with Co-Writer Home-T. Once again, when you hear the whistle, you’re gonna hear a big tune! Kuff him!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Abijah – Revelation (2001)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Sunday folks! Today we’re keeping the same 2000’s energy on “Oldies Sunday“! Today’s selection comes from Reggae Artist, Abijah with the single, “Revelation“! Produced by Mikey Bennett and released through Matluk Music in 2001, the song finds Abijah showcasing spiritual and prophetic lyrics as he spoke about pending wars and injustice that ravishes the world, and calling on the Lord. A near miss of death and a dream were the inspiration for this song as Abijah was within inches of a stray bullet during a shootout while living in Vineyard Town, St. Andrew.

After the release of “Revelation”, the song quickly became a hit and placed Abijah as an Artist to watch. The song spent 30 weeks on the Jamaican Music Charts, and found him performing in various locations around the world. “Revelation” was also featured on his 2003 “Abijah” album, and various Reggae Compilations shortly after. In the time that followed since the single’s release, Abijah went on to release more music, and perform with the likes of Tevin Campbell, King Yellowman, Nadine Sutherland, and Beenie Man with whom he remixed “Revelation” with. “Relevation” went on to be Abijah’s most recognizable track that he still performs to this day.
