NEW MUSIC: @LadySawDHQueen – Heaven


LSAfter promising her fans that she’ll show another side of her in upcoming music, Lady Saw finally released the first of many Gospel songs. Titled “Heaven” and recorded at Drop Di Bass Jamaica studio, Lady Saw goes by her government name this time around and handles the production duties under her Diva Records label. In the song expresses how she desires to be in Heaven with her Lord and Savior and the joy she’d receive once she’s there. She also desires to let go of all her material riches because she knows she’ll have all that and more in Heaven. Not a bad effort from Marion Hall here, in some parts of her singing she sounds a little like Carlene Davis. This is not the first time she’s doing Gospel and she has even hinted that there’s an album in the works. What do you think of her change? No more Lady Saw? Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

PRESS RELEASE: @MeNameKAT (Kat C.H.R.) Goes For Gold


KAT CHR

Jamaican singer-songwriter, Kat C.H.R has come of age with her latest project – GOLD -written by Kat and co-produced with Andrew ‘Preggs’ Thompson who has toured the world with international recording artist Sean Paul, and whose drumming and production expertise has made him a household name throughout Jamaica’s alternative music scene.

After wrapping a music production partnership with New York based music mogul and former CEO of Roc A Fella Records, Damon Dash for his DD172 Media Collective, Kat returned to Jamaica to reconnect on her original stomping grounds and record the songs featured on GOLD.

“It’s like a coming of age project for me. My music has always been true to my life. These songs represent me to the fullest. I keep my thoughts golden, I keep my heart golden and inevitably, my art isgolden. People used to see me at shows and say oh I had no idea you were going to sound like that but they are always intrigued by my contradiction. There is a light inside me that wants to shine, GOLD is that light. It’s my labour of love,” says Kat.

The EP features four tracks – GOLD, MANGOOVER MY HEAD and TURN AROUND – each delivering her paradoxical yet authentic musical style that has gained her fans all around the world. These songs showcase not only her versatility as an artist but also why she’s known as a lyrical heavyweight.

According to Kat“this project represents growth for me as an artist, with each song I’m evoking that distinct connection between my hardcore, tomboy image, and my sensitive lyrics and smooth melodies… It all finally makes sense.”

Now armed with a wealth of experience, new management and an arsenal of new music she has signed a distribution deal for GOLD with international recording artist, Diana King’s US based record label ThinkLikeAgirL Music Inc.

“Kat C.H.R represents exactly what ThinkLikeAgirLMusic is about! Artists who have no boundaries, no limits and no fear to create across genres while being true to themselves. ThinkLikeAgirL is all about being unorthodox,” says King.

GOLD is now available on iTunes  https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/gold-ep/id796477614
