Imagination "Just An Illusion" (1982) on 13thStreetPromotions.com #UK #Jamaica #Windrush #WindrushDay #WindrushGeneration #RandB #Funk #13thStreetPromotions #Music #Imagination #JustAnIllusion #OldiesSunday #oldies #OldSchool #Throwback #Caribbean #1982

OLDIES SUNDAY: Imagination – Just An Illusion (1982)

Posted on by swadedavillain

June 22 is recognized in the UK as “Windrush Day“. “Windrush” refers to the generation of African-Caribbean people who emigrated to the UK post World War II (WWII) to assist with recovery efforts, and much more. “Windrush” also refers to the HMT Windrush Empire Ship that transported these migrants. June 22 is a day that honours that generation, and was introduced in 2018 by British Social Commentator/Political Activist of Jamaican heritage, Patrick Vernon. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to highlight music from the children of the “Windrush Generation“. We go back to the 80s to check out UK band Imagination, and their single, “Just An Illusion“.

Produced by Tony Swain and Steven Jolley, a.k.a. Jolley & Swain, and released through R&B Records in 1982, “Just An Illusion” was a song about having a need to experience things and situations that were just dreams before. The Funk/R&B single featured harmonizing notes, solid production that instantly grabbed the listener, and a vibe that had everyone dancing. Comprised of Leee John, Errol Kennedy, and Ashley Ingram, these were children of the “Windrush Generation” whose parents emigrated from Jamaica (Kennedy was born there), and St. Lucia (Leee John). “Just An Illusion” became the biggest hit for Imagination, climbing to the #2 spot on the UK Singles chart, topping the charts in Spain, and becoming top ten hits in France, Ireland, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, and West Germany. The single also enjoyed Gold and Silver certifications, and was included in the soundtrack for the 1986 Film, “F/X“, along with their 1982 album, “In The Heat Of The Night“. “Just An Illusion” would later be sampled by P.M. Dawn, Mariah Carey, The Pharcyde, Destiny’s Child, and Cormega.

Since the release of “Just An Illusion”, Imagination would go on to enjoy some more success with the release of more music. The band would split in 1987 and include new members, but their popularity decreased, and they called it quits in 1992 after releasing their final album. Leee John would go into acting, Ashley Ingram would enjoy success as a Songwriter, and Errol Kennedy would perform under a new version of Imagination named ImagiNation feat. Errol Kennedy. The “Windrush Generation” introduced new cultures and sounds to Europe, and children of that generation like members of Imagination, would help to boost the musical economy.

Thank You Imagination For This Classic!

Vybz Kartel’s “Clarks” Featured In New Supreme X @Transformers Promo

Posted on by swadedavillain

Where are the Streetwear Scholars? The Brand Aficionados? Streetwear brand Supreme has announced their official collaboration with the classic “Transformers” franchise. The hit TV/Film franchise teams up with the New York-founded Streetwear brand to launch a new Optimus Prime figure featuring special makeup/branding. To kick things off, the collaborators released a promotional video to announce the new venture, but a familiar sound was featured throughout.

In the promotional video for Supreme and Transformers’ new collaboration made by PlasticAction that features a dancing Optimus Prime action figure, Vybz Kartel’s 2009 hit single, “Clarks” was used in the soundtrack. Produced by ZJ Chrome, Vybz Kartel’s “Clarks” was an ode to the popular British Footwear brand. The song also featured a then upcoming Artist named Popcaan, who recently joined the Portmore Empire/Gaza collective, and Gaza Slim who also a fresh recruit. “Clarks” would take the scene by storm, and further contributed to the already growing love for the line of shoes in Jamaica, and the rest of the Caribbean. With Vybz Kartel being featured in the promotional spot, it’s only right that Supreme reaches out for a collaboration (Supreme if you’re reading this, I want a care package of the Vybz Kartel collab please and thanks).

Supreme x Transformers launches on April 17 on Supreme’s webstore.
