OLDIES SUNDAY: Alaine – No Ordinary Love (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Welcome to the month of June on “Oldies Sunday“! In some cultures, the month is a popular one for Weddings, and today we will highlight a song that has been a part of many Wedding playlists. We go back in time to check out Alaine’s “No Ordinary Love“.

Produced by Don Corleon Records on the “Seasons Riddim” and released in 2005, Alaine sings about the type of love that grows and sticks with you in, “No Ordinary Love”. She sings about all the good that comes from the love she’s experiencing, from the cozy moments, to the lovemaking, to security that comes with being with that special someone. “No Ordinary Love” quickly became the breakout single for Alaine, making her an Artist to watch. The “Seasons Riddim” was a popular release, and the single was one of the top played singles off of the compilation. “No Ordinary Love” would be later featured on her 2007 debut album, “Sacrifice“, and has become a favourite over the years during Valentine’s Day celebrations, and on Wedding days.

Since the release of “No Ordinary Love”, Alaine went on to become one of Jamaica’s most-loved Vocalists. She previously earned fame as a child star, but after leaving life in the corporate world to pursue music, she never looked back. She would release more music over the years, held her own as a music judge on Digicel’s Rising Stars, and continues to take her music to stages in parts of the world. “No Ordinary Love” is one of her most popular singles.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @MorganHeritage – Tell Me How Come (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Last Sunday (February 25), the music world suffered another loss as Peter “Peetah” Morgan, lead Vocalist of Morgan Heritage, passed away. While many are saddened by the news, there are some of us who have to celebrate him in the best way we can. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we celebrate Peetah’s legacy, and celebrate the group with the selection, “Tell Me How Come“.

Produced by Donovan Bennett for Don Corleon Records on the “Seasons Riddim“, Morgan Heritage’s “Tell Me How Come” was released in 2005 through VP Records. The track speaks about the many injustices that have been happening in Jamaica, and the people who are going through it are crying out for help. They highlight the persecution of Rastafarians, corruption from those in power, crime and violence in the country, the inequalities when it comes to uptown vs downtown, Artists being locked up, and they question the validity of the Motto, “Out Of Many One People” while so much wrong is happening. Peetah Morgan leads the charge on the track, and the group share strong messages that quickly connected with the listener. “Tell Me How Come” became a hit for the group, and was featured on the group’s 2005 album, “Full Circle“. A music video, which was directed by Jay Will, was made in support of the single.

Since the release of “Tell Me How Come”, Morgan Heritage went on to release more music, dealt with band members leaving for solo careers and other ventures, solidifying their status as one of Reggae biggest groups, copped a couple GRAMMY awards as well, and recently suffered the loss of Peetah Morgan, who was fighting a long battle with illness. Morgan Heritage was many hits to their name, but “Tell Me How Come” remains a favourite for many.

Thank You Morgan Heritage For This Classic.

Sleep Well Peetah Morgan.
