As we are facing the closing hours of this Valentine Weekend, there’s nothing like the oldies to add a finishing touch. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Mark Myrie a.k.a. Buju Banton and it’s dedicated to all the lovers. Titled “Love Sponge” and produced by Buju for Gargamel Productions in 1997, we hear Buju making a dedication to his lover. He goes on to detail how much she means to him, when they’re together they enjoy each other’s company, they make great things happen, and when they’re apart he gets miserable. With Buju’s infectious delivery, choice lyrics and a great production, this song went on to become one of Buju’s biggest hits and a song that’s made for couples when it’s time for a slow dance.

In support of the Jamaica BobSled Team, a video and song was released recently. Titled “The Bobsled Song” and done by Sidney Mills, Jon Notar, and Groove Guild, we hear chants of “It’s Bobsled Time” and details of the Bob Sled run all while being treated to a 80s 8-Bit video game styled video. Great video here as many of us would remember playing 8-Bit video games on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is also noted that this should be played everytime the Jamaica BobSled team performs a run as the song syncs with it. Go Jamaica for Sochi 2014!

Today is a day for lovers and while many share a genuine love for each other, many have to lie to get some. Shae Mill debuts her new single today to tell us how it is. Titled “Sweet Love (Even If A Lie)“, and produced by Tri-Def Music Group, Shae sings on how she wouldn’t mind some love and affection from a certain someone, even if there isn’t a long term relationship in the works between them. Great effort from Shae Mill and I’m sure many can relate to it, though we may call it something else and many don’t have a significant other.
