OLDIES SUNDAY: Jimmy Cliff – We All Are One (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Reggae Month in Jamaica, and we continue to show respect to those who have contributed to the further development and success of Reggae on “Oldies Sunday“. Today’s entry highlights a Jamaican Rockstar who helped to set the standard. We look back at Jimmy Cliff, and his track, “We All Are One“.

Produced by Amir Bayyan, Jim Bonnefond, and Ronald Bell and released through Columbia/CBS in 1983, Jimmy Cliff promoted unity in “We All Are One”. Cliff reminds us that despite our race, age, culture, and nationality, we are all human with similar qualities and features at the end of the day, and we should treat each other better. Cliff delivers melodies over some solid production that taps into Reggae and Pop sounds, and “We All Are One” quickly became a hit for him. The single was featured on Cliff’s GRAMMY-nominated 1983 album, “The Power And The Glory“. Jimmy Cliff was one of the Artists who helped in bringing Reggae to International popularity in the early stages, and has inspired many around the world.

Since the release of “We All Are One”, Jimmy Cliff went on to release more music. He is a 2 time GRAMMY winner, was given the Order of Merit by the Government of Jamaica, was assigned as a Peace Ambassador for the United Nations, has been a part of many Humanitarian campaigns, and continues to contribute to the extension of Reggae music around the world. “We All Are One” remains one of his memorable hits.

Thank You Jimmy Cliff For This Classic!

.@McKadaMusic Tackles Catcalling On “Psst” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

In Jamaica, there is a catcalling culture that has come under fire a number of times. Some Women find to be a form of harassment, and in recent times they have found ways to set boundaries to hinder its widespread. Reggae Artist McKada has experienced being catcalled numerous times in her life, and with her new single, “Psst“, she looks to put a stop to it.

Released through her McKada Music imprint and co-produced with Raymar “GSharp” Rochester, McKada is not entertaining anyone who catcalls her in “Psst”. The song finds her calling out the Men who think it’s nice when a Woman’s catcalled, but when she doesn’t entertain them, she’s insulted. The song is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Garreth Daley, and it finds the Singer walking through a community and she is approached by a number of Men throughout. Many stories of harassment are shared regularly on Social Media where Women have been subjected to various forms of abuse when rejecting Men’s catcalling. Sadly, there have also been stories of Women succumbing to attacks on their lives when they have rejected a Man’s unethical approach. McKada is doing her part in halting the rise in domestic violence cases in Jamaica, and “Psst” looks to be one that helps to inspire movements in not only Jamaica, but the Caribbean and the rest of the world.

Eddy G Bomba Takes On A Pirate Role In “Champion Dragga”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Eddy G Bomba is not looking to steal hearts this Valentine season, he’s all about the dollars. Having a 2024 that brought him fame and some controversy, he kicked off the new year with a few developments, and is determined to make this year an even better one for his career. He takes the hunt for the money to another level in the visual for, “Champion Dragga“.

Directed by Bankroller Visuals/Inferno Films, Eddy G Bomba’s mission to get money finds him taking on the role of a Pirate in the video for “Champion Dragga”. Call him Captain Eddy G Sparrow, he sails the seas with his crew in search of money, and is having fun through it all. The life of a “Dragga” is a fast-paced one filled with high risks and big rewards, something reminiscent of the Pirates and Buccaneers of yesteryear. Expect Eddy G Bomba be more consistent with more music releases later this year, and expect him to take on the world as well (promoters make the move).
