J’Calm Collabs With Nigy Boy On “Emotions” For Upcoming Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist J’Calm has been building on his brand in the past few years. From International recognition, to collaborations with some of the biggest names in Jamaican music, he’s ensuring his tenure is a long one. With a new album on the way, he’s keeping the people occupied with new music. Recently, he released the single, “Emotions“.

Produced by Tony “CD” Kelly and featuring Nigy Boy, J’Calm taps into R&B/Dancehall vibes in, “Emotions”. The track finds the Artists tapping into their vulnerabilities, and oozing confidence as well throughout, making for a release that will reel in the ladies from around the world. The track samples the “Answer Riddim“, a classic Dancehall Riddim that drew inspiration from Sir Coxsone Dodd’s original production that has had many versions from the likes of Blacker Dread, Steely and Clevie, and “Fatis” Burrell. Fun fact: Tony Kelly also had a version of the “Answer Riddim” that featured Charlie Chaplin. J’Calm’s upcoming album titled, “Emotions”, promises to make an impact, with hopes of enhancing the International Dancehall scene, and place him at the forefront.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Beenie Man is a King of Dancehall. Love him or hate him, he is the greatest Dancehall Entertainer, and he has plenty moments at stage shows, and attendees to vouch for that. With over 40 years in music, it’s still crazy that a former child star not named Michael Jackson has made his name transcend generations. In 2021, Beenie shared that he would release a new album. After a few delays, he has finally liberated “Simma“.

“Simma” features 20 tracks, and it finds Beenie Man still holding his own in Dancehall Music. Never one to stay boxed in, he tries out a few different styles for this album. Whether your taste is the traditional Dancehall/Reggae, or even the new wave of NY and UK Drill, Beenie has something for everyone. Production on “Simma” include the likes of Suku, Dutty Rock Productions, Walshy Fire, The FaNaTiX, Frankie Music, Tony Kelly, and Teddy Riley. Beenie shares the album with a number of friends including Giggs, Popcaan, PatoranKing, Busy Signal, Ms. Banks, Sean Paul, StoneBwoy, Mÿa, and more. Beenie Man promises that you will be thoroughly entertained by his new album, and you have to respect a man who has given most of his life to this music. Respect the King.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this year, US Recording Artist/Actress Janelle Monaé announced that she will be releasing her latest album, “The Age Of Pleasure“. Along with that came the single “Lipstick Lover“. While the racy visual showed another side of her, it contained the familiar sound of Dancehall Artist Mad Cobra’s 1992 hit, “Flex“. With the new album just released, a few more familiar sounds joined in.

On Janelle Monaé’s “The Age Of Pleasure” album, Jamaican Recording Artists Derrick Harriott, Barrington Levy, Sister Nancy, and Queen Patra all join Mad Cobra on a few tracks. On the 2nd track “Champagne S***“, Levy’s 1984 hit “Murderer” was sampled. The classic track also appears on the follow up track, “Black Sugar Beach“. “Murderer” was produced by Hyman Wright and Pat Chin, and released through the Grade One label. Sister Nancy’s 1982 hit “Bam Bam” was sampled on the track “Water Slide“. Patra’s “Whining Skill” from her 1993 debut album “Queen Of The Pack” was also sampled on the track. “Bam Bam” secures the title of the most sampled Jamaican song, and we have a Playlist and a few words about it here. Sister Nancy is also a featured Artist, appearing on the track, “French 75“. “Whining” was produced by Tony “CD” Kelly and Clifton “Specialist” Dillon. The legendary Grace Jones also appears on the album as a featured Artist, delivering on “Oooh La La“. Coming to the closing of the album, Derrick Harriott’s 1967 classic, “The Loser” was sampled on the track, “Only Have Eyes 42“. The track was released through Crystal Records, and produced by Harriott. Many have speculated that Monaé would have Jamaican influences on her new album, and what was brought forward did not disappoint.
