.@JobyJayMusic Shows Resilience On Powerful New Single, “Fighter”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music was always rebellious. It rebelled against society, called for more consciousness, and fought against oppression and practitioners of it. Bob Marley was one of the genre’s biggest Ambassadors who called for liberation of the people, encouraged them to be resilient against the powers of evil, and his work continues to inspire generations. Recording Artist Joby Jay is one of those Artists who cites Marley as one of her inspirations. She channels him on his birthday with the release of, “Fighter“.

Produced by Mark-Anthony Reid for MAR Music, Joby Jay shares an anthem of self-liberation, mental strength, resilience, and defiance against the oppressors in, “Fighter”. Joby has observed the way the world has been running and what people have been experiencing, and she gets vulnerable here showing her battle scars, her determination to overcome and heal, and her substantial growth through it all. The song serves as encouragement for listeners to stand for what’s right, and fight, wherever they may be in the world. In the darkest of times, we need the music to help us survive, help us thrive, and help us overcome all that aim to keep us in the dark. Let Joby Jay be the voice to bring back that light. Fans of the Singer can catch her performing at the “Lost In Time Festival” on February 28 at Hope Gardens, Kingston where she shares the stage with Protoje, Tanya Stephens, Lila Ike, and more. This one is for the rebels.

Posted on by swadedavillain

2026 is Ras-I’s year. The Recording Artist has been teasing for a good part of last year that an album was on the way. Many have been enjoying his musical output live and on the streams over the past couple years, and more people have been sharing that they want more. Come May, Ras-I will deliver his 3rd album, “Heart Of Love“. Until then, he gives you a dose of it via the new single, “These Are The Days“.

Produced by Koastal Kings/Ras-I Musique and featuring Kabaka Pyramid, “These Are The Days” is the collaboration many have been yearning for. While they have collaborated previously on “Do The Right” (Kabaka was the Producer), they take it to another level with trading verses about living life abundantly after putting in the work, combining faith and dedication to make their dreams a reality, and giving thanks for where they’re are now in life. Kicking off “Album SZN” in a big way, fans of Ras-I will get a preview of more to come in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. Natty Dread at the helm, tune in.

Reggae Music From Hawaii Featured In New “The Wrecking Crew” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music is universal, and continues to be so after adding more GRAMMY awards and other accolades to its mantle. Over the weekend, the new Film, “The Wrecking Crew” premiered on Amazon Prime Video. The Film stars Jason Mamoa and Dave Bautista, who are half brothers investigating the death of their Father in Hawaii. The Film features Actors who are from the Island of Hawaii and of Hawaiian descent, and shares parts of Hawaiian culture. Reggae got a feature in the Film, and we speak on it below.

During a scene in the new Film, “The Wrecking Crew”, “Brains” by Hawaiian/Samoan Recording Artist/Educator/Farmer Ka’ikena Scanlan was featured. The Pacific/Hawaiian Reggae single was released in 2019, produced by Pano, features Hawaiian Band These Guys, and was released through Spoon Meat Entertainment. The track speaks on the corruption that happens in the world, the manipulation of the people by evil doers and warmongers, and is a call for people to wake up, preserve the culture, and fight against systems that don’t mean the world well. Reggae music has mostly been about revolutions and consciousness, and Ka’ikena’s track is no different. “The Wrecking Crew” is out now on Amazon Prime Video.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ambelique – Penny Lover (1997)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Welcome to February. We kick off Reggae Month, celebrate the birthday of the late Dennis Brown, recognize Black History Month, and celebrate love. It’s “Oldies Sunday“, and before we start off, we salute the late Sly Dunbar known to many from the Production duo Sly & Robbie who passed away on January 26. Today’s selection is all about love and remembering the greats. We go back in time to check out “Penny Lover” by Ambelique.

Produced by Sly & Robbie and released through the Taxi label in 1997, it’s all about a deep desire for that special someone in Ambelique’s “Penny Lover”. The track is a Reggae cover of US Singer Lionel Richie’s 1984 hit single, and Ambelique does it justice with his unique vocals, pulling in the listener who is focused on love. Sly & Robbie’s top tier production adds well to the powerful track, and it became a hit for listeners. “Penny Lover” was featured on the 1997 album, “Sings The Classics“, and was included in a number of Sly & Robbie projects following including the GRAMMY Award-winning “Friends” album.

Since “Penny Lover”, Ambelique continued to release more music. He is still active, and in 2024 he released the album “Blind Spot“. Though “Penny Lover” is a cover, it’s still loved by many around the world.

Thank You Ambelique For This Classic!
