Posted on by swadedavillain

War is currently in the air, but there are those who are more focused on things that are important, like their health whether physically, or mentally. Recording Artist Mortimer has experienced plenty in his life, but still standing after all that showcases the strength he possesses. Let him tell you what’s going on in “Not A Day Goes By“.

In a video directed by Pete Beng and conceptualized by Mortimer, “Not A Day Goes By” is the exhibition of a Man who is fighting battles internally, and seeks help from a higher power to overcome it all. From depression, to self-doubt, to heartbreak, to thoughts and attempts of suicide, Mortimer sings for not only many of us who going through these things, but to keep himself above ground in the best way he can. Winta James provides a mellow production to accompany the lyrics, and Protoje’s Camp Habitat is the location for Mortimer’s visual, and safe space. Mental Health is still a growing issue in Jamaica, with many individuals still seeking safe spaces and solutions, we hope there comes a day where we can all be free from these battles.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Tony Tuff – I’ll Have To Get You (1980/1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, the Jamaican music scene, and the music world lost another star. The late Singer Tony Tuff transitioned on April 20, and many fans are still mourning the loss. His career started as a member of The African Brothers in the 1960s before going solo in the 1970s, with a number of hits to his name. Today on Oldies Sunday, we pay tribute to him by highlighting his hit single, “I’ll Have To Get You“.

Produced by Alvin Ranglin and released through GG’s Records in 1980, Tony Tuff had his sights set on a beautiful Woman in “I’ll Have To Get You”. He takes the listener through this story from the day he first laid eyes on her, to finding every way to not only have her full attention, but actually making her his. He shows a keen determination in getting her, and he lists all the qualities that make him attracted to her. The low tempo production on “I’ll Have To Get You” encourages many couples to boogie down in the later part of the dance, and the single quickly became a hit.

The popularity of “I’ll Have To Get You” enabled it to get a second life in 1990 when it was re-recorded and released as “I’ve Got To Get You“. Produced by Donovan Germain and Dave Kelly on the “A Love I Can Feel Riddim” and released through Penthouse Records, Tony Tuff’s hit earned him a new audience, and it secured its own place a 90s hit as the “A Love I Can Feel Riddim” gained popularity. It was allowed Tony to record various Dubplates for the song in the following years

Since the release of “I’ll Have To Get You”, Tony Tuff enjoyed a solo career that found him releasing more music and albums, touring parts of the world until his passing at age 69. The old and new versions of “I’ll Have To Get You” remain some of his most recognized singles.

Thank You Tony Tuff For This Classic! Sleep Well.

UK Hip Hop duo Young T & Bugsey are ready for the next stage of their careers where they conquer more territories, and connect with new listeners.

Posted on by swadedavillain

We’ve often said on here that Caribbean music hits different. Jamaican music is the vibe, and we know its effects when it touches people around the world. The Island is home to the legendary Bob Marley, and his music has inspired so much. One of the persons to be affected by his music is Miami-based Recording Artist/Musician Cris Cab. He first emerged on the scene in 2011, and scored an International hit in 2013 with “Liar, Liar“. He decided to go on a hiatus for some time, but recently returned to the scene with a special release. He presents his cover of Bob Marley’s classic, “Is This Love“.

With a Music Video directed by Andrew and Daniel Terry, Cris Cab takes it to the seashore and the Studio for his “Is This Love” cover. Armed with his Guitar, Cab delivers in the best way he knows to do the iconic song justice. “Is This Love” was originally performed by Bob Marley & The Wailers and released in 1978. The track was featured on the “Kaya” album, and later the “Legend” compilation album. It was certified Gold and Platinum in a number of countries, and was also covered by the likes of Rihanna, Carly Simon, Adam Lambert, and Corrine Bailey Rae, who won a GRAMMY for it in 2012. It was also sampled by Outkast, James Blunt, Toosii, and Prince among others. Cris Cab returns to music in fine style.

Natalie Bergman’s Cover Of The Slickers’ “Johnny Too Bad” Featured In @RoadHouseMovie

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Music and Pop Culture will always go hand in hand. From TV Shows, to Film, to a way of life, Jamaica’s influence is strong. Recently, the Amazon Prime Video platform released “Road House“. A remake of the the 1989 cult classic that starred the late Patrick Swayze, the 2024 Film stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, and it finds the character Dalton (Gyllenhaal), an ex-UFC Fighter, who gets a job as a Bouncer in a Florida Keys Road House, and the trouble that finds him there. The Film features a soundtrack that is filled with a number of Bands who play Rock and Pop, but a familiar song, covered by Singer Natalie Bergman of Wild Belle, could be heard in a scene.

During an early part of “Road House”, Natalie Bergman and Wild Belle covered Jamaican Rocksteady/Reggae group The Slickers’ “Johnny Too Bad“. Produced by Byron Lee and released through the Panther Label in 1970, “Johnny Too Bad” was about a Gunman who was known to committing various crimes. The song highlights his crimes, but was given a warning that when it’s his time for his activities and life to end, there will be no escaping them. The single quickly gained popularity after its release, and was included in the soundtrack for the 1972 Jamaican classic Film, “The Harder They Come“, which starred Jimmy Cliff. The song was covered a number of times before Bergman’s, and included versions by UB40, Sublime, Dennis Brown, and Bunny Wailer. “Road House” is out now on Amazon Prime Video.
