T&T Groovy Monarch releases another hit! PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 17 July 2008
With Shurwayne Winchester, there's just never a dull moment as his tracks keep coming hot off the press. This Tuesday, the Groovy Monarch of T&T releases yet another hit. Coming out of the Worrell Brothers production company, based in Barbados, Winchester will offer up, Rough Wine, to the Crop Over masses. Described as one of those energy filled, sweet songs, Minim, a member of the Worrell Brothers camp assures that this new release will do exceptionally well.

Two weeks ago production of the track got underway and handing it over to Shurwayne for vocal execution was never a question for the Barbados posse as, according to Minim, Shurwayne's voice was the only one that came to mind.

This second release follows an amazing collaboration between Shurwayne and Maxi Priest, which was aired recently. Seemingly the trend for the local soca visionary, fans of the artiste can certainly look out for new music in the peak of just about every carnival in the region and internationally. Additionally, green card members attached to www.shurwaynewinchester.com will have first dibs at all the new music and SW paraphernalia as he continues on his journey to making soca music, heard, loved and embraced around the world.

It’s just about five years since the sensational male vocal group Voicemail came on the scene with catchy dance tunes like “Get Crazy”, “Weh Di Time”, “Wacky Dip”, and “Dance Do What You Feel Like”. Since then, all of Jamaica and those of us keeping up with the music back home knew they were on to something.

Their debut album “Hey” made it big nationally and internationally and was really a big hit in Japan. Now set to release their sophomore album “Let’s Go” on April 18, the group is bringing it better than before. The album, the group says, is a more mature one than their debut. “Let’s Go” is an 18 track CD with songs such “Love” and “Clap Off” which are definitely making waves.

Voicemail recently signed a clothing endorsement deal with Prohibit Line of clothing in Japan. It is quite fitting that the group, who is known not only for their voices, but for their trendsetting duds, be the representative of choice for the Japanese.

But this is not the first endorsement deal for the trio; they have been putting their faces and voices behind bmobile when they joined the company of reggae superstars, Bounty Killer, Beenie Man who have also signed endorsement deals with the mobile provider.

Watch out for the chart topping trendsetters as they release “Let’s Go”.

Lutan Fyah says there is no need to apologize!!

Last week at the REGGAE IN THE VALLEY Concert, in St Elizabeth, Jamaica, Lutan said, “big up to Bounty Killa because he made nuff yout’ come inna di business”. This upset the Rastafarian artistes on the bill, such as Luciano, Anthony B and Capleton, who and they are seeking an apology from him. The entertainers left the venue in anger, while Lutan refused to apologize. Fyah explained that he never meant to upset the Rasta community because he is a Rasta also, it was meant for the entertainers in the music business. Fyah said some Rasta artistes said he disrespected them.

Lutan thinks the Rastas that he angered should level with him and sort the situation out, since he meant no disrespect and was speaking the truth. When Capleton was questioned regarding the statement, he said there should be no negative business with Rastas, so he expects it to be sorted out soon. Come on; don’t tell me not even our cultural icons can get along?
