Chronic Law & @BugleAn9ted Team Up On “Real Storm”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Chronic Law is still one of the hardest working Dancehall Artists when it comes to the output. While he keeps the streets busy with new music, he likes to step out with unlikely collaborations. Last month he collaborated with UK Rapper M24, and now he teams up with one of Reggae’s most prolific voices in, “Real Storm“.

Produced by Hungry Lion Records on the “Psalms Of David Riddim“, “Real Storm” finds Chronic Law teaming up with Reggae Artist Bugle. Together they make observations on the ways of man and the corruption that has gripped the world, and they hold the order while being cautious in their day to day lives. The accompanying Music Video was directed by Shane Creative, and it finds the “Law Boss” and the “An9ted” Artist showcasing a great collaboration. Both Artists have delivered powerful music, and them joining forces should make way for even more collaborations. Be wary on your journey, stand strong against the storms that will come.

Janeel Mills Covers An Amy Winehouse Classic In “Johnny”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Songbird Janeel Mills has been blessing the world with her voice, and gracing stages for a number of years. She has worked with some of your favourite Artists, and special moments are made instantly when she sings her first note. Recently, she tapped into one of her musical inspirations for a track called, “Johnny“.

Produced by Makiri Whyte, Janeel Mills channels the late Amy Winehouse in “Johnny”. Covering the 2007 hit single “Valerie“, Mills gives us a different perspective with her cover as she speaks of a Man she loves. “Valerie” was originally recorded by English Indie Rock Band The Zutons in 2006, but was covered the same year by Winehouse, and released in 2007 as a collaboration with Producer Mark Ronson. The song went on to go 3x Platinum. Mills not only does the cover justice, but give it a Reggae feel from its original Pop/Jazz sound. Accompanying the track is a Music Video directed by Ifidel Williams, and it finds Janeel reminiscing on the good times with her lover, in between solo performances of the track. Tune in to something that will bring some calm your way. R.I.P. Amy Winehouse.

It’s A “Crazy World”, And Richie Spice Is Trying To Save It

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over 20 years ago, we got a song called “Earth A Run Red” that shed a spotlight on all that’s going on in the world. The man behind the powerful song was Richie Spice. A lot has happened since that song’s release in 1998, and sadly the world hasn’t gotten better. Nonetheless, Spice is still fighting the good fight in this “Crazy World“.

Produced by Spot On Records/Element Music Group, Richie Spice steps to the podium on “Crazy World”. He shares his observations and his desire to help the people, and he seeks the power of Rasta to free the people. Richie Spice never shies from providing powerful music, and he calls on others to do their part. Accompanying the single is a Music Video that finds the Reggae Artist spreading his message through news broadcasts, and press conferences. The world needs to wake up, and Spice is doing his part to make it happen.

OLDIES SUNDAY: J.C. Lodge – Telephone Love (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Women’s History Month is coming to a close, and we appreciate all the Women who stepped up to produce great music and content. For today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, this tune was what you call a “banger”. The Artist is British-Jamaican Singer/Educator/Creative J.C. Lodge, and we check out her track, “Telephone Love“.

Produced by Augustus “Gussie” Clarke on the “Rumours Riddim” and released through Anchor Records/Music Works Records in 1988, J.C. Lodge’s “Telephone Love” takes us back to a time when the phones were corded, the dials were physical numbers or rotary, and long conversations could mean high phone bills. J.C. shared her admiration for a young man on the song, and she was eager to have those intimate conversations in person under the covers. You could be having a bad day, but that phone convo with that special someone was everything. “Telephone Love” was an instant hit for Lodge, not only was it a big tune in Jamaica, it was the first Dancehall/Reggae single to cross over into the R&B/Hip Hop markets in the U.S., charting high in the process, and gave Lodge an record deal with Tommy Boy Records. The single was also featured on her 1990 album, “Selfish Lover“, and the 1992 album, “Tropic of Love“. A version featuring Shabba Ranks was also released.

Since the release of “Telephone Love”, J.C. Lodge went on to release more music, created content focused on Children (her “Sing N Learn” series gained some popularity in Jamaica), and became a Schoolteacher and Fine Artist. She recently released a single in recognition of International Women’s Day, and looks to release even more music. “Telephone Love” remains one of her most popular singles.

Thank You J.C. Lodge For This Classic!

We Pay Tribute To The Late Rhiya Luna In Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

This post is dedicated to a Mother, a sister, a very unique talent, and a friend. She was born Shaneika Martin, but the music scene first knew her as “Shie“, then later on, Rhiya Luna. We lost this dear individual on March 2 after a long battle with Illness, and it has really left a dark cloud over many who received the news. She was a longtime friend and supporter of this platform, and she was destined to do great things. It’s never easy when you lose a loved one, and one can only keep their memory alive through previous interactions, and their works and hobbies. Today, we pay tribute to Rhiya Luna with a tribute Playlist titled, “Long Live Rhiya Luna“.

For over an hour, listeners can tune in to some of the tracks that Rhiya Luna shared with the world over the years. From Dancehall singles, to R&B and Pop-inspired tracks, to songs with positive messages, she was on her way to doing even more, but life had other plans. She got to share the stage with some great talent, and when there were doubts, she was backed by many who truly believed in her and wanted to see her win. She leaves behind a family who will honour her name, and listeners like us will ensure that the people heard her. Long live Rhiya Luna, sleep well my friend ❤️.
