Jahmiel Finds Himself In “Nirvana” On 3rd Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jahmiel is one of the greats, and it’s very evident in his work. For close to two decades, he has been dropping captivating music, and whether he’s singing about reality, love, or sharing stories from the streets, he found the audience for them. He continues to connect with more people around the world, and he’s not slowing down on the work ethic. This time around, he takes us to “Nirvana” with his new album.

Featuring 12 tracks, Jahmiel expands on his artistry on his 3rd studio album, “Nirvana”. He still delivers music with relatable themes and lyrics, but he taps into various sounds here. From Dancehall, to Reggae, to Amapiano, to Pop, he didn’t slouch in the studio. Production on “Nirvana” is mostly handled by Quantanium Records/Patriotz Muzik, but RockIt Muzik makes an appearance on one track. No guest features here, but if there’s a possibility of a remix of some of the album’s tracks featuring some of our favourite Artists, we’re here for it. The Man who started out as a “Little Lion” is now a giant in Jamaican music, and his new album is another chapter of a great story. Join him in Nirvana.

Before the month is over, we want to show respect to an Architect in Jamaican Music. a Man who created a wave in the early years of Ska Music, and made his name prominent in other genres, that soon made him an inspiration, and Icon. His name is Byron Lee, and if there was a “National Heroes Of Jamaican Music” category, he would’ve been on the list. The late Musician/Producer/Entrepreneur took the music to new territories, and has received numerous accolades for his accomplishments. His Dynamics Sounds Studio was one of the best in the Caribbean, he produced classics in multiple genres, and he gave us “Jamaica Carnival“, popularizing Soca Music in Jamaica, making it accessible for everyone. His band, The Dragonaires, became the standard for many bands in the Caribbean, and have been in movies, on the Radio, and at an event near you. Byron Lee has done so much for Jamaican Music, but today we’re highlighting some of the music that sampled the work of Mr. Lee in our latest Playlist.

While the list is not long, we invite you to tune in to some of the hits that Byron Lee produced over the years, and some of the tracks that used his sound to make their own hits. From Ska, to Dancehall, to Hip Hop, Lee’s DNA could be found in some of your faves. Those who are not familiar, can use this Playlist as a start into discovering more from the late Icon. Long live Byron Lee!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Windel Haye – Haunted House (1979)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Every year we hear people say, “Jamaicans don’t celebrate Halloween“, yet there are Jamaicans going to costume parties and Halloween-themed events. Make up your minds. Anyway, with October 31 basically around the corner, it’s time we featured a ghostly selection on “Oldies Sunday“. Today, we feature Windel (also known as Windew) Haye, and his single, “Haunted House“.

Produced by Sir Coxsone Dodd and released through Studio One in 1979, Windel Haye stands tall on “Haunted House”. He shares that he’s ready to conquer the beast, and any evil force that wishes to step into his space. Whether day or night, he’s armed, and he’s anticipating a battle. “Haunted House” was inspired by Barnabas Collins, a TV Vampire from the 1960s series, “Dark Shadows” that gained some popularity in Jamaica. Haye’s tune is aimed at the bloodsucking character, as he details how he will eradicate him. The song gained some popularity shortly after its release, and contended with tracks like “Barnabas Collins” by Lone Ranger, which was cited to be an inspiration. It was also released in the early days of Dancehall Music, showcasing the “Toasting” style that would quickly become the wave.

Since the release of “Haunted House”, not much was heard of Windel Haye. “Haunted House” was one of two tracks released by him in 1979, but in 1980, he released “Roots & Herb Style” under the name, “Field Marshall Haye“. “Haunted House” is still mentioned by many. Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it, and those who don’t celebrate it.

Thank You Windel Haye For This Tune!
