Circa Eleven Starts The Party Early With 3 New Releases

Posted on by swadedavillain

Production Duo Circa Eleven has been putting in the work over the years, and they’re not slowing down on the output. Last year they secured a number of collaborations, and even released a Christmas EP. This time around, they’re throwing parties, and they want to start early with 3 new releases from JayYGT, Gio Mar, Brush 1, and 1CDon.

 Circa Eleven released “Mamacita” with 1CDon, “Give It To Me” with JayYGT and Gio Mar, and “Waistline” with Brush 1 and Gio Mar, and listeners have been tuning in. Circa tapped into 3 genres this time around, Dancehall, Soca, and Dembow. On “Give It To Me”, JayYGT and Gio Mar deliver something spicy for the ladies, Brush 1 and Gio Mar aim to get the ladies dancing in the Fete on the energetic “Waistline”, and 1CDon goes bilingual with the lyrics for the ladies in “Mamacita”. In the end, Circa Eleven threw a party that was made for everybody. They continue to showcase their diversity, and we can expect even more stand out collaborations later this year. Whatever your flavour, just get the speakers ready, and press play!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Jimmy Cliff – We All Are One (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Reggae Month in Jamaica, and we continue to show respect to those who have contributed to the further development and success of Reggae on “Oldies Sunday“. Today’s entry highlights a Jamaican Rockstar who helped to set the standard. We look back at Jimmy Cliff, and his track, “We All Are One“.

Produced by Amir Bayyan, Jim Bonnefond, and Ronald Bell and released through Columbia/CBS in 1983, Jimmy Cliff promoted unity in “We All Are One”. Cliff reminds us that despite our race, age, culture, and nationality, we are all human with similar qualities and features at the end of the day, and we should treat each other better. Cliff delivers melodies over some solid production that taps into Reggae and Pop sounds, and “We All Are One” quickly became a hit for him. The single was featured on Cliff’s GRAMMY-nominated 1983 album, “The Power And The Glory“. Jimmy Cliff was one of the Artists who helped in bringing Reggae to International popularity in the early stages, and has inspired many around the world.

Since the release of “We All Are One”, Jimmy Cliff went on to release more music. He is a 2 time GRAMMY winner, was given the Order of Merit by the Government of Jamaica, was assigned as a Peace Ambassador for the United Nations, has been a part of many Humanitarian campaigns, and continues to contribute to the extension of Reggae music around the world. “We All Are One” remains one of his memorable hits.

Thank You Jimmy Cliff For This Classic!

.@McKadaMusic Tackles Catcalling On “Psst” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

In Jamaica, there is a catcalling culture that has come under fire a number of times. Some Women find to be a form of harassment, and in recent times they have found ways to set boundaries to hinder its widespread. Reggae Artist McKada has experienced being catcalled numerous times in her life, and with her new single, “Psst“, she looks to put a stop to it.

Released through her McKada Music imprint and co-produced with Raymar “GSharp” Rochester, McKada is not entertaining anyone who catcalls her in “Psst”. The song finds her calling out the Men who think it’s nice when a Woman’s catcalled, but when she doesn’t entertain them, she’s insulted. The song is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Garreth Daley, and it finds the Singer walking through a community and she is approached by a number of Men throughout. Many stories of harassment are shared regularly on Social Media where Women have been subjected to various forms of abuse when rejecting Men’s catcalling. Sadly, there have also been stories of Women succumbing to attacks on their lives when they have rejected a Man’s unethical approach. McKada is doing her part in halting the rise in domestic violence cases in Jamaica, and “Psst” looks to be one that helps to inspire movements in not only Jamaica, but the Caribbean and the rest of the world.
