In a sea
of dancehall and reggae artistes deejaying, it is refreshing when someone comes
forward and sings not just the usual samples, but brings tunes with a smooth,
passionate voice.
Da’Ville, dubbed
the new lover’s rock icon of his generation, will thrill with his upcoming
album, ‘On My Mind,’ set
to release by VP Records on March 27,
2007. The smooth sounds of
Lover’s Rock, Dancehall and R&B are carefully orchestrated on Da‘Ville’s upcoming album. The singer/songwriter
is holding the reins and steering his sound into a fresh direction.
Da’Ville has
planted the seed in his native country Jamaica with a string of #1 hits and is branching out into
international markets with these breakout smashes (also featured on his new
album). His lead single, “Can’t Get
Over You,” took Jamaica
by storm and immediately charted to #1 spot
this past summer. The smash was within the top ten reggae countdown in Jamaica, held #1 position in Aruba and #2
position in New York.
Then the title track of his new album, “On
My Mind,” held the #1 spot on Hype TV and RE TV in Jamaica for
almost two months before his newer singles, like “This Time I Promise” began to pop up and take precedence. Beyond Jamaica, “On
My Mind,” became the most requested song in Italy
and now is generating a buzz in the U.S, showing up on urban as well alternative
radio stations, like WLLD-FM Tampa,
KDLD-FM Los Angeles, WBLS-FM New York, KVGS-FM Las Vegas, WHQT-FM Miami,
WWCD-FM Columbus, OH, and
XTRA-FM San Diego.
Da’Ville blends
an old-school flavor reminiscent of the legends while adding a youthful and
vibrant spin on his upcoming album, ‘On
My Mind.’ Whether he is pleading for forgiveness on tunes like “This Time I
Promise,” expressing a women’s worth on the charming ballad “On My Mind,” or
having his heart held captive on the smash “Cant Get Over You,” Da’Ville masters
the art of love and persuasion. With sweet vocals, strong songwriting skills
and a production team consisting of Da’ville, as well as, O. Thomas and J.
Brown from Fashozy
Records, this lovely album plans to break untapped ground and open
new doors for this ‘Big Bad Singer,’ Da’Ville.

Riding as high as

worthy of the Spotlight.
