.@AkinaEman Shares Her “Slumber Tapes”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Songbird Akina Eman returns to the scene with something special for her listeners. When it’s time for her to be creative, everything else is a non-factor, and she’s locked in until her work is done. She made some releases earlier this year, but now she has something packaged for you to enjoy. This gift, is called “Slumber Tapes“.

“Slumber Tapes” is Akina Eman’s latest EP, and she provides 5 tracks for the listener to get lost in. She still holds you hostage with her soothing vocals, and they take control of the lyrics she delivers throughout about love. Some will experience this project like embracing the warmth of someone who they’re deeply in love with, others will treat it like a pillow talk session that never ends. Production on “Slumber Tapes” is mainly handled by Kone, expect for one track by Kalex of Island Wav. No features here, just Akina live and direct for you. While outside is getting colder and darker, let this new EP provide some cozy comfort through it all.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Love Joys – All I Can Say (1981)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new month, and we’re glad to be here providing music for you to enjoy on “Oldies Sunday“. Since its inception, we’ve highlighted classic singles, guilty pleasures, underrated hits, and allowed our audience to get familiar with music they’ve never heard before. This Sunday is no different as today we feature UK-based Reggae duo Love Joys, and their single, “All I Can Say“.

Produced by Lloyd Barnes a.k.a. Bullwackie for the Wackie’s label and released in 1981, Love Joys were all about making the world a better place in “All I Can Say”. The cousin duo of Sonia Abel and Claudette Brown encouraged listeners to live a better life, call out those who do wrong, and hope and pray that things get better for us all. Over some solid production, the pair deliver conscious messages along with some melodies. “All I Can Say” was featured on their 1981 album, “Reggae Vibes“, and their official 1982 debut album “Lovers Rock (Reggae Style)“. The song became a hit for the duo, and became known in Jamaica, and various parts of the world. It was sampled in 2024 by Texas Rapper BigXThaPlug for his track “Havin Freestye“, which featured Ro$ama and Yung Hood, and produced by Tony Coles. “All I Can Say” was also featured on hit Video Game “Saints Row” through the in-game radio station.

Since the release of “All I Can Say”, not much was heard from Love Joys. The duo was recognized as one of the first all-Female Roots Reggae groups, but they disbanded in the 1980s. In the 2000s, Sonia Abel (now Sonia “Marla” Allen) would create the duo Natti Love Joys with her Husband Anthony “Jatti” Allen. “All I Can Say” is still remembered by fans, and “Saints Row” gamers.

.@DiGenius1 Brings Dancehall Classics To Streaming With “The Recovered Files” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

The 2000s in Dancehall Music was an era that can never be duplicated. There were local and International crossovers, the ascension of Deejays who went on to become legends, and lots of good vibes and energy. It was in the mid 2000s that the world warmed up to a young Producer by the name of Stephen McGregor. The son of the legendary Freddie McGregor was determined to carve his own path in music, and the determination won. When he got his start, there was no stopping him, and he made hits with everyone. From Mavado, to Vybz Kartel, to Laden, to Agent Sasco, to Nicky B, to his brother Chino McGregor, the world got familiar to the sounds of “Di Genius“. There’s a lot of history in that Big Ship Studio. The years that followed saw a shift in the music Industry as MP3s and CDs soon gave way to Digital Music Streaming, and a number of those Di Genius hits never crossed over. In 2024, after lots of work, Stephen has made it a reality with the release of “The Recovered Files” album.

Featuring 20 classic tracks, Di Genius restored some of our favourites from the 2000s on “The Recovered Files” compilation album. We get music from a Vybz Kartel who was in heading into a new level of prime, a young Aidonia who was venomous on a Riddim, Chino who found his pocket and cruised over his brother’s productions, the rise of the “Gully Gad” Mavado, a young firecracker that was Blak Ryno, and more. Fans will fall in love with the “Darker Shadow Riddim“, recite some Gaza Commandments, reflect on their allegiances to Gaza, Gully, and J.O.P., and enjoy the work of Di Genius over and over on their favourite streaming platform. We believe “The Recovered Files” will be the start of a series of restorations and releases in the coming months, and with Di Genius at the helm, we know it will be a celebration every time. What’s your favourite Riddim from Di Genius?

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.
