OLDIES SUNDAY: Alborosie Ft. @EtanaStrongOne – Blessing (2008)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new month! Welcome to June, a.k.a. the Wedding month for many. Big up those who are tying the knot this month, but what’s on your Wedding Playlist? Luckily for today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, we have a suggestion. Check out Reggae Artists Alborosie and Etana’s “Blessing“.

Co-Produced with Clifton “Specialist” Dillion and released through Forward Recordings in 2008 and VP Records in 2009, Alborosie and Etana delivered what would become a part of many Wedding soundtracks in, “Blessing”. The duo share the joy of being together, joining in hearts and love, and emphasize that their union was a divine creation. The combination of their unique vocals over the powerful production make for a great listen, and shortly after its release, it became a hit. “Blessing” was featured on Etana’s debut album, “The Strong One” in 2009, and in 2014 on the “Alborosie & Friends” album. While we don’t have chart information on the track, it became a top charting song for many listeners worldwide.

Since the release of “Blessing”, Alborosie went on to have a fruitful career in Reggae. The Italy-born Artist scored more hits and released more albums, cementing his place in the culture. Etana went on to become a Reggae powerhouse, becoming the first Female Artist in nearly 20 years to be nominated for a GRAMMY. She has amassed a number of hits, but “Blessing” remains one of her biggest collaborations.

Thank you Alborosie And Etana For This Classic!

Romain Virgo Shines With New Single, “Two Faced”

Posted on by swadedavillain

This life we live has brought many types of people our way, all with varying personalities. Some are genuine, others are deceptive, and we don’t always know who is who. Recording Artist Romain Virgo has experienced many types of people as well, and speaks about some of them on “Two Faced“.

Produced by Slyda Di Wizard for Romeich Entertainment on the “Red Fyah Riddim“, Romain Virgo liberates himself from the wrong type of people in, “Two Faced”. Virgo shares his displeasure in deceptive people, and ensures that he stays far from them and their dirty ways. When he was at his lowest and needed genuine people around, the ones who he thought were solid, turned out to be fake, no matter what face they choose to wear for everyone else. As always, Romain Virgo gives the listeners an outstanding delivery, and continues to show dominance in his nearly 20 year career. The Singer is still reeling off of the success of his 2024 album, “The Gentle Man“, and over the weekend displayed nothing but greatness at the annual “Best Of The Best” Event in Miami. Be careful of the snakes and fakes.

Khago Won’t Tolerate Further Disrespect On “2Times”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Many of us have experienced this, dealing with people who didn’t wish the best for us. They come in many forms, and the goal is to let you down in the worst way. Dancehall Artist Khago has had his share of those type of people, and he tries to avoid them further in the video for the single, “2Times“.

Directed by IView Solutions, Khago isn’t here for the disrespect in, “2Times”. The video finds him in a relationship with a beautiful Woman, who deceives him behind his back by entertaining another Man. The Deejay admits he still has love for her, but he’s not going down that road again. Produced by Long Chain Global/Junavill Records, “2Times” is just one of the few singles that Khago has been releasing in the past few months. The Deejay has been gaining a lot of attention on Social Media thanks to his commentary on Dancehall and trending topics, and recently his various live Studio sessions with former top Artists, and emerging acts. He hasn’t put aside his gifts, and may well deliver a few new hits for the rest of the year, and beyond.

We Salute The Late Max Romeo With Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On April 11, the world lost another legend. The news of Reggae Icon Max Romeo’s passing was definitely a shock to many, and tributes were quickly made public. Since the 1960s, Romeo defined an era where he delivered songs that stood out from the pack, with lyrics that have inspired generations of Artists, and caused bans and censorships. He became a dominant force, and he never backed down from whatever or whoever stood in the way. He is a legend, will be missed by many, and his legacy will be carried on by his children, and those who have joined his movement. We pay tribute to him with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Max Romeo“.

Featuring a few tracks, we showcase not only some of Max Romeo’s works, but Artists in Hip Hop, Pop, EDM, and Reggae who have sampled his music on the “Sampling Max Romeo” Playlist. Many of us know Jay Z’s “Lucifer” that sampled “Chase The Devil“, but we’re using this time to highlight even more. Hopefully there will be more who will sample his work in the future, just make sure the business is handled well with his family. Salute to the late Max Romeo. Max Romeo 4Eva!

.@BurnaBoy Gives Us Reggae Vibes With “Sweet Love”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Love is universal, but how it’s shown differs by the individual. Luckily for some, they have gifted ways in which they can display that love to someone. There are others who rely on music. Burna Boy utilizes the power of Reggae Music to convey his message of love in, “Sweet Love“.

Produced by Major Seven, Burna Boy takes it back to the Islands for a song that will have the young and old rocking to called, “Sweet Love”. For those unfamiliar, Reggae has always been one of Burna’s inspirations, and this time around he seeks love, and wants to give love. The retro-styled production makes it an instant hit, and gives us an idea of what’s to come in the future for the African Giant. The single is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Troy Roscoe, and not only do we get an in-house performance by Burna and his band, but we watch scenes of families, and loved ones coming together in the name of love. From a family dinner and get together, to an intimate moment with a couple who has seen years together, the real love is more than what people are having unnecessary conversations about on Social Media. No $200 dates or who sits in the front seat topics here, just people having real connections, with a soundtrack provided by one of Nigeria’s top acts.
