.@BobMarley’s “Three Little Birds” Featured In @ADT’s “No Worries” Campaign

Posted on by swadedavillain

The power of Reggae Music will not die, it will multiply. From the street corner to the TV screens, it is everywhere. Recently, American Electronic Security company ADT Inc. launched their latest “No Worries” campaign. Aimed at providing the best security for Residential and Business consumers, they seek to take the #1 spot in that field. In their new series of Commercials, a familiar Reggae classic was heard.

Onboard as the soundtrack for ADT’s new “No Worries” campaign is Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds“. Produced by Bob Marley And The Wailers and released in 1980, the track was featured on classic “Exodus” album, and still remains a favourite for many worldwide. It was previously covered by Maroon 5 for a Hyundai campaign, it was the theme for Dutch Football Club Ajax’s 2021/2022 third kit, used as inspiration for Bob’s daughter Cedella Marley’s “Every Little Thing” children’s book, and was covered by Bob’s grandson Skip Marley for the “School Of Rock” Music Education program. ADT wants customers to know that complete safety is their aim, and there should be no worries. Everything’s gonna be alright.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Althea & Donna – Gone To Negril (1977)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we take the time out to feature Women who have made great contributions to our music culture. While we celebrate the Women all year over here, we recognize some through our Oldies Sunday section. Today’s selection comes from the duo Althea & Donna with the track, “Gone To Negril“.

Produced by Tommy Cowan and released through Reggae Bloodlines in 1977, “Gone To Negril” finds Althea & Donna taking a trip to the Jamaican North Coast destination. An area that is home to various Tourist and local attractions, the duo share their eagerness to be there, and they chronicle their journey from getting ready, to passing through various places before reaching their final destination. While Althea & Donna found great success with “Uptown Top Ranking“, “Gone To Negril” was a minor hit for the duo, and was featured on the “Reggae Bloodlines 2” compilation album. The track was also featured in the 2017 compilation album, “Sounds & Pressure Vol. 7“.

Since the release of “Gone To Negril”, Althea & Donna continued to release a few more singles before making an exit from music. They secured a place in music, and we recognize them for “Women’s History Month”.

Thank YOu Althea & Donna!

.@SizzlaOfficial Teams Up With @ChefLoDeezy on “Consistent”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Music Icon Sizzla Kalonji continues to show the world that he’s not wasting the gifts that he was blessed with. With a work ethic that’s still impressive, best believe Sizzla’s working on new projects to release later this year. In the meantime we get singles, including this new collaboration called, “Consistent“.

Produced by SpaceAgeRasta for Artekal Music, “Consistent” is a collaboration between Sizzla and US-based Rapper/Culinary Chef Cheflodeezy. Together they deliver motivational lyrics, and blend their sounds and influences for an enjoyable track. While Cheflodeezy steps out with a different energy, Sizzla gives us that classic falsetto throughout. Accompanying the new collab, is a music video directed by Steven Bernard. They share their hardships, but are grateful for the many blessings that have been bestowed their way. What are you grateful for today?

Jamaica Salutes Legendary Songwriter Thom Bell In Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

As we close another Black History Month, we use this last day to honour a Jamaican who helped to shape the musical landscape. His name is Thom Bell, and he is the co-creator of the “Philadelphia Soul” that reigned the 1970s. A Songwriter, Producer, Composer, and Arranger, Thom Bell gave the world classics, and has influenced generations. Today, we salute him with our latest Playlist titled, “Jamaica Sings For Thom Bell“.

Featuring 14 tracks (more would’ve been added if they were available for streaming), we highlight some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered songs that were either written, produced, or arranged by Thom Bell. From John Holt, to Horace Andy, to Boris Gardiner, to Alton Ellis, to Etana, we hear covers of classics by The Delfonics, Deneice Williams, The Stylistics, and more. Listeners can learn something new, or reconnect with songs that affected them in ways when they first heard them in the new Playlist. Soul Music along with R&B sounds have a heavy influence in Jamaican music, so it’s only right that many of the American classics were covered by some of the Jamaican greats. The late Thom Bell gave the world something special, and his work will continue to entertain and inspire. Thank you for everything Thom Bell, rest well.

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s been a long time since he stepped onto the music scene as Yaksta Carvanie, but the years have been good to him. Now with a few hits to his name, Yaksta is ready to take his career to the next level. He set the scene with a few singles over the past few months, and now he finally released his debut album, “22“.

Featuring 20 tracks, the “Bush Lawd” takes his talents to a bigger platform with “22”. The new album finds Yaksta in a good place, and he showcases some of his diversity in his lyrics and flow. Whether he’s motivating the listener, or reaching out to the ladies, he does it effortlessly here. With production by the likes of Anju Blaxx, Skill Don Music, Marlon Easy, Afro Boi, and Wussmusikk, Yaksta finds his comfort zone, and listeners are pulled in for a great listening session. The guest features are few, but important as Demarco, Rygin King, Chronic Law, Monifa, and Usain Bolt are onboard to enhance the listening experience.

Yaksta has come a long way, and is determined to go for more. Will “22” stand out as one of this year’s best releases? Stay tuned.

Jamaicans Sing @BurtBacharach Hits In Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

On February 8, the music world lost one of the most influential persons in Pop Music, the late Burt Bacharach. With his songwriting, production, and various compositions whether solo or done with collaborators, Bacharach has given us some of the greatest songs and sounds, helped to elevate the careers of some of the best Artists including Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, and Dusty Springfield, and scored Films such as “Casino Royale” (a James Bond Parody), “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid“, “Arthur“, and “A Boy Called Po“. His work has influenced many, and in our latest Playlist, we cover some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered his songs.

In the “Jamaica Sings Burt Bacharach!” Playlist, we’ve featured 18 tracks that have given hit songs from the late Burt Bacharach a Jamaican touch. From Dennis Brown, to Wayne Wonder, to Diana King, to Dobby Dobson, get yourself familiar or reacquainted with some great music that came to life by Bacharach’s genius. Jamaicans covering some of your favourite International songs always went hand in hand, and we hope to cover a few more like this in the future. Sleep well Burt Bacharach.
