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!

.@MichaelBrun Scores A “Touchdown” With @JBalvin, Tasan, Bounty Killa, & Beenie Man

Posted on by swadedavillain

Haitian DJ/Producer Michaël Brun has been doing very well these past few years, and he continues to do so this year. During the Covid era, he reached out to Colombian star J Balvin, Dancehall giants Bounty Killa and Beenie Man, and Singer/Songwriter Tasan (Daughter of Gospel Dancehall legend Papa San) for the track, “Touchdown“. In 2024, the track was made public through a promotional video for the NFL, and the people have been asking for its official release. Earlier, Brun premiered the official Music Video.

Directed by Jenzar and shot in multiple locations, “Touchdown” is a fun track from Michaël Brun, Bounty Killa, J Balvin, Tasan, and Beenie Man. With a focus on connecting cultures through music, the video for “Touchdown” highlights a mix of fashion, fun, dance, good vibes, and the Island lifestyle. The Artists brought together their a-game, and we feel the energy throughout the clip. We look forward to even more collaborations featuring these Artists (and we hope Creative Titans makes it happen). It’s not a basket, it’s a touchdown!

Bella Blair Has No Time For Love, She Has Dealt With “Too Many Boys”

Posted on by swadedavillain

February is almost here, and that means many will be looking forward to Valentine’s Day celebrations on the 14th. One person you won’t expect a Valentine from is Bella Blair. She has no time for all of that, and she’s getting ahead of everyone with the new single, “Too Many Boys“.

Produced by Kevon “Webbo” Webster, Bella Blair is over it with love, and she’s just doing her own thing and not caring on “Too Many Boys”. She has been down the road of love, and has been hurt there, so for those who think they can win her over, forget about it. She knows all the tricks and words to say, but she’ll reject you every time. You can have a lil fun, but there won’t be anything permanent, and she prefers it that way. Bella continues to show the world that she can still deliver on a song, and she looks to make a strong return to music this year. Expect even more releases later this year, just keep her out of the VDay convos.

Shabba was not only a huge earner for Dancehall Music in the 90s and successfully crossed over to the International market, but was the first Deejay to score GRAMMY awards.

Let this Playlist aid you in your quest to learn more about Shabba Ranks if you’re not familiar.

V’ghn Is Mesmerized By The “Bacchanal Lady”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Grenadian bad boy V’ghn has been blazing trails for a number of years, and he’s only getting better. With a renewed focus for the new year, he’s preparing to give the people hit after hit. It’s his season to shine, and he gets things going with the new single, “Bacchanal Lady“.

Teaming up with Producer Tano, V’ghn has his eyes on a dangerously sexy Woman in “Bacchanal Lady”. She has the looks, she oozes sexiness, and she’s scandalous, but if you treat her right, she’ll be all yours. V’ghn pelts out melodies and lyrics over some solid production as he thinks about the waistline of this desirable Woman. The track has the right ingredients for a hit, and we can expect this one to make some noise all 2025. The accompanying Visualizer finds the Singer mesmerized by her throughout, and this is just the beginning of some fun times to come. This goes out to all the sexy ladies!
