Plain Jay & Justice The Artiste Touch The Soul With “To Be Loved” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new week, and it has to start with love. Bahamian-Canadian Recording Artist Plain Jay is here to promote love, especially the romantic kind. He’s kicking off your week with the single, “To Be Loved“.

Produced by Johnny Hills and featuring Justice The Artiste, that romantic love stays undefeated in, “To Be Loved”. The mix of Reggae and R&B focuses on that love between two hearts, and when it is mutual and genuine, it means the world. When she needs to be cared for, when she wants to be wanted, when she wants to be loved and much more, the requirements need to be met. Jay and Justice deliver something that touches the soul here, and we can expect to hear this more in the coming weeks. If you can’t start the new week with anything else, start it with love. Give it a try.

.@IAmSharonMarley Rises With Debut Album, “Firebird”

Posted on by swadedavillain

“Womens History Month” highlighted the many Women who have taken the first step to their greatness, and like History, it continues to happen. Sharon Marley has been a part of History carrying on the Marley name with her family, but wants to make significant contributions outside of that. Music has always been in her blood, and age is just a number when it comes to being creative. She did the Reggae Band, she went Platinum (she was one of the first Jamaican Women to do so), she has GRAMMY awards, but now she wants to continue her solo pursuits with her debut album, “Firebird“.

Featuring 11 tracks, Sharon Marley makes her “Firebird” debut a shining moment. Released through her Gong Gyal Entertainment label, Marley presents a collection of some of her best work, showcasing decades of dedication, and tapping into new generations of sound while honouring those before her. She created her own fire here, and the tracklist consists of songs about love in various forms, self-reflection, liberation, and motivation. Production on “Firebird” taps into Jazz, Reggae, and R&B sounds, and includes the likes of Leroy Romans, her son Ingemar Prendergast, and Nicko Rebel while her sister Cedella, her son Biggz General, the legendary Big Youth, NVT3L, and Rica Newell join in through guest appearances. Sharon Marley rose with a fire to make an impact, and her debut looks to be one that sets the tone for a stronger legacy.

JahBradez Sends A Call To Rise With “Together” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

In a time where wars are brewing and corruption runs rampant, someone needs to take a stand, and the people need to revolt for the right things. Reggae Recording Artist JahBradez has used his platform to speak out against the injustice his people faced, and with his music has rallied the people together for a greater cause. He continues his mission with the release of the new single, “Together”.

Produced by Black River Sonics, the independently-released “Together” finds JahBradez sending the world a call to rise, with the intention of going out for what is right and just. The new single promotes unity, resilience, strength, and a message that when we unite, we can overcome the negative forces that aim to keep us locked in. This one is for the community, this one is for the rebels, this one is for the people who want better, and are determined to make it happen. Guided by strong Roots Reggae production, Jahbradez looks to bring his powerful sound to every part of the globe, and starting the right conversations. 

JahBradez is the co-founder of the Reggae Band Pentateuch, and has been on the scene for a number of years delivering Reggae Music with a message, and has showcased high quality production in Jamaica, and various parts of the world. He previously released the singles “It Ain’t Easy” and “Like We Nuh Seet”, and has more music to deliver, including a new project. Keep the fire going for JahBradez, and let’s stand up for what is right.

Augustus Pablo’s “King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown” Featured In “How To Make A Killing” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

How has it been movie lovers? What’s the new screening that you’re obsessed with? Recently, Movie Studio A24 released their latest Film, “How To Make A Killing“. Directed by John Patton Ford, the Film stars Glen Powell as a Man who was disowned by his wealthy family at birth, and plots ways to get what is deserved to him, even if it means taking out some family members in the process. The Film features a mix of new and old music of various genres, but a familiar sound from Jamaica could be heard in a scene.

During a scene in the Film, “How To Make A Killing”, the familiar sound of a Melodica played by Musician/Producer Augustus Pablo could be heard along with some Reggae/Dub production. What was heard was Augustus Pablo’s “King Tubby Meets Uptown Rockers” from 1974. The Dub version of Jacob Miller’s “Baby I Love You So” which was produced by Pablo, was a collaboration between Pablo and King Tubby who was the Mixing Engineer. The track was released a number of times including through the Mango Label, as a B-Side to Jacob Miller’s single, and later through Island Records. It was also featured on the 1976 album of the same name. The track was previously featured in Grand Theft Auto 4, and is Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Top 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time“.

“How To Make A Killing” is out now.
