OLDIES SUNDAY: Shades – She’s Gonna Marry Me (1969)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The month of June is a popular month for Weddings around the world, so why give you all something to add to the playlist? For Oldies Sunday, we go back in time to check out a track by a singing trio named Shades called, “She’s Gonna Marry Me“!

Produced by Winston Riley, Shades’ “She’s Gonna Marry Me” was released through Riley’s Techniques label in 1969. On the track, lyrics about looking forward to marriage are shared, and what the experience will be like when it comes to marrying the love of your life. Shades was a short-lived group composed of former The Techniques Vocalist Bruce Ruffin, former The Paragons member Tyrone Evans, and a 3rd singer who remained anonymous. Given that Bruce Ruffin was a member of The Techniques, some outlets printed copies of Shades’ single with credit given to The Techniques. Nonetheless, “She’s Gonna Marry Me” was a hit for Shades, and was even covered by Reggae singer Junior Delgado in 1979. Since the release of “She’s Gonna Marry Me”, Bruce Ruffin went on to work with numerous Artists and Producers, and even took on a career in Law after the disbandment of Shades, while Tyrone Evans emigrated to the United States, and continued to work with numerous Artists and Producers, and even re-joined The Paragons before passing away in 2000.

To say that Dancehall Artist Demarco has been on the grind is an understatement. When he’s not recording and releasing singles, he’s dropping music videos, and even getting busy producing. With a new album on the way, he’s just gonna be as busy as ever. He takes on another role in the music video for his new single, “Mover“.

Directed by Demarco and featuring Konshens, the two play Football (Soccer) Coaches to all-female teams as they vie for a win. Though the match may not be on a grand scale like an UEFA Cup match, we do get to enjoy some lovely ladies tackling, scoring, and of course bubbling to the Ineffable Records produced track. Catch Demarco and Konshens going through the emotions as they each need the win. Who will the match? You’d have to tune in to find out. Demarco’s upcoming “Melody” album will be released in October 2021.

Posted on by swadedavillain

International Poppy is at it again! Fresh off the release of his highly anticipated “Fixtape“, Popcaan continues to cross seas and plant the Jamaican and Unruly flags in various territories. Finding himself in the pop scene this time around, he connects with Singer Jorja Smith on, “Come Over“.

Produced by Dre Skull, Pasque, MadisonLST, and Cadenza, we get a Dancehall flavoured/sampled track that finds Jorja wanting to “fix tings” with her love interest, while Poppy smoothly steps in the fire off some slick lyrics. Accompanying the single, is a Future Power Station animated visual which was directed by Amber Grace Johnson. A not too fast, not too slow release here, definitely something to slow wine with that special person with. With the pandemic causing a lot of distance between many, may the Zoom and Facetime calls find this song a worthy part of the soundtrack.
