Ladies Light It Up For Mesh Marina’s “Joke Dem A Joke” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

There’s a new Band in town, and that means more vibes. This past August, people were introduced to Mesh Marina, a Reggae Fusion Band consisting of Singer Shennell, and Producers Mario Campbell o/c Mario C and ZhaneDem, and they’re ready to take on the scene in a major way. Recently, the Band made some noise for those who indulge in the greener side of things. Tune in to the Band’s debut single, “Joke Dem A Joke“.

Produced by Mario C and ZhaneDem and released through 3rd Dimension Music, Mesh Marina delivers “Joke Dem A Joke” for the Women who enjoy a puffing good time. To all the Ganja blazers, nothing is wrong with a Woman enjoying the herbs, all she needs is the best strains, a lighter, and space to take flight. Lead Vocalist Shennell (who is the Sister of Dancehall Artist Wayne J) shares her love for the Weed, and there should be no opposition when she’s rolling up. This one is for the good times, the high times, and there should be no segregation when it comes to partaking in a smoke session. “Joke Dem A Joke” has been enjoying some positive feedback since its release, and the demand for more music is growing (please note: Shennell shared there are almost 50 songs recorded, stay tuned). Ladies, what are you smoking on today?

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!

Emerging Recording Artiste Kxng Izem has been consistently building his brand, and delivering a unique Reggae Fusion sound to listeners worldwide for a number of years. With a collection of singles and projects to his name, he looks to build his ever-growing catalogue in 2021, and beyond. His work hasn’t gone unnoticed however, and he recently gained some well needed recognition for it.

2021 saw the advent of the first staging of the “Dubby’s”, an online award event series held by Dubwise Jamaica, the premiere event that was an early advocate of the “Reggae Revival” movement. Co-founded by Jason Panton, the “Dubby’s” was birthed out of a need to recognize local artistes for their contributions to the Jamaican music culture. Held on February 27, Kxng Izem emerged a winner in the “New Coup Breakout Artiste Of 2020” category. Fellow nominees in the category included Leno Banton, Blvk H3ro, Runkus, Joby Jay, Wayne J, and Royal Blu. 2020 found Kxng Izem releasing the singles like “Cool and Easy”, “Brighter Days”, “Stone Love”, and “Sunday Morning”, and looks to follow up with the release of his latest EP, “Wildfire”.

Produced by VanClive of Street Fame Records, she took a break from the Dancehall vibes as she lets us know that she needs love, and can offer the best kind in return. It is a different sound coming from her, and there’s no telling what’s next from her and she likes to be unpredictable. Something for the lovers out there, and an addition to the “Love” playlists for this holiday season, and next year. How deep is your love for me? Check out the track below!
