.@Aidonia4thGenna & @GovanaGenna Get The Ladies Moving On “Earthquake”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

For quite some time, fans have been anticipating a collaborative project from Dancehall Artists Aidonia and Govana. Despite releasing a few singles, no album has shown up in the past couple years. While life has had some turns for the Artists, it looks like things are looking to pick up for them. Getting back to business, they release the visual for “Earthquake“!

Directed by Shane Creative and Ruption, Aidonia and Govana are here for the ladies on the Chimney Records-produced “Earthquake”. While they previously displayed how potent their lyricism can be, they use this time to get the ladies moving. For all the ladies who missed shaking it to a Didi and Govi song, “Earthquake” is for you to have fun to. We hope Aidonia and Govana’s project sees the light of day this year, but if not, we expect to hear a lot more from them. Ladies, it’s your time to show off!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Yaawdi is on a mission to bring nothing but great music to the world. Originally from Martinique, he has been making his name in Jamaica and various parts of the world thanks to his affiliations with Sizzla Kalonji and Judgment Yard. Staying true to his mission, he released the visual for the track, “Pray“.

For those unfamiliar with Yaawdi’s delivery, he performs “Pray” mostly in French. Despite the language barrier for some, Yaawdi gives the people a positive message, and we should stay true to our beliefs in order to make the right choices moving forward. The video was mostly shot in Martinique, and we get a glimpse of the Island that Yaawdi calls home. Life is filled with many challenges, but with strong faith and prayer, it gets easier. If you haven’t been familiar with Yaawdi, check him out today.

Eddie Zuko Promotes Love With Alton Ellis-Sampled, “Still”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music has taken quite the journey since its inception. With the mouths of many singing their favourite songs from some of the most creative forces behind them, the genre has shown its staying power over and over, and has influenced so much. In the US, Reggae has had a hand in the establishment of many bands. From Sublime, to Rebelution, to SOJA, to Big Mountain, the music took on a different life outside of Jamaica, bringing in a new audience. For California Artist Eddie Zuko, he taps into a Rocksteady classic for his single called, “Still“.

Produced by J.LBS and Paul Redona, Eddie Zuko’s “Still” samples the late Alton Ellis classic, “I’m Still In Love“. “I’m Still In Love” was produced by Sir Coxsone Dodd, and released through Studio One in 1967. Eddie Suko borrowed part of the chorus, and some of the production behind the original for “Still”, which finds the Artist professing his continuous love for the special person in his life. Many relationships have gone by the wayside or have faced roadblocks, but the love for one another is still embedded in each partner’s core. There will be doubts, there will be fights, but as they say, “Love conquers all“.

Eddie Zuko’s “Still” has been enjoying some viral love in the past few weeks namely on TikTok, with many requesting for the song to be officially available. Accompanying the single, is a music video directed by Brok Wood, and it finds Eddie performing the track with Musicians Paul & Csmo. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, why not dedicate this one to someone special?

OLDIES SUNDAY: @MaxiPriest – Close To You (1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

February is celebrated as Reggae Month. It also recognizes Black History Month in many parts of the world. The month is also one for love as Valentine’s Day is celebrated. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we celebrate a Black Man who created a love song in the name of Reggae. His name is Maxi Priest, and we check out “Close To You“.

Produced by Handel Tucker, Geoffrey Chung, and Sly Dunbar, Maxi Priest’s “Close To You” was released in 1990 through Charisma Records. The song finds Priest being completely smitten by a girl who may seem like trouble. Regardless, but he is eager to be close to her, catering to her every need. The Reggae Fusion track featured smooth vocals by Priest backed by a production that was sure to captivate your entire being. “Close To You” was an instant hit for Maxi Priest, it scored a #1 slot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and top 10 placements in the UK, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and various countries in Europe. The single also went Gold in Sweden and Australia. “Close To You” was featured on Priest’s 5th studio album, the Gold-selling “Bonafide“. With the catchy hook, it quickly became a mainstay for R&B mixtape lovers, especially for couples during the Valentine’s season. “Close To You” was covered by the likes of Origene, B3, Pachanga, Jay Delano, and The Uptown Band. The song was sampled by the likes of Jay Sean, Eric B & Rakim, and Tony Sunshine.

Since the release of “Close To You”, Maxi Priest went on to have a successful career in the 1990s. He is still an active Artist, having secured GRAMMY nominations over the years, and is still celebrated worldwide as one of the most successful Reggae Fusion Artists Internationally. “Close To You” will be remembered as one of his most recognized singles, and one to keep in rotation for Valentine’s Day.

THANK YOU MAXI PRIEST FOR THIS CLASSIC!
