For those of you who have
seen Jamaican singing sensation Nadine Sutherland perform in South
Florida recently, you know she’s still got it. In fact, the
artiste has just wrapped shooting on the music video for her newest hit single
“Big TingZ”
from her upcoming album Call My Name on Eight76 Records. The upbeat single was
released to radio earlier this month, and has quickly become a staple at reggae
radio in South Florida and is picking up steam all over the Caribbean.
Shot on location at the beautiful Negril Escape
resort in Negril, Jamaica the video is
directed by Michelle Barnes (Red Rat “Crying For My People” and Macka Diamond (“Bun Him”)
of Mad Multimedia Productions and
choreographed by local dancers Erica
Allen, Anika Thomas, and Nakoy Asher.
Every member of the cast and crew was local, from the stylists to the
set auditors. Eight76 Records exec
Myshjua Archibald flew down to oversee the shoot and was thrilled with the
results. “The talent in Jamaica always
blows me away. There is so much
brilliance there, both aesthetically and creatively, and I get excited just
watching these young people express themselves.
Very professional as well.” The video showcases several facets of Nadine and will premiere in early March. Sutherland
will also perform the song at several of
the official events planned for the 2007 World Cup Cricket series taking place
March 5 through April 28.
After several years out of
the musical spotlight, Nadine’s profile has stepped up in a major way since
hooking up with Eight76 Records a little more than a year ago. The association has already produced two hit
singles, “Keep Me Safe” and “Cyan Tek It” (featuring Chrisinti) and both label and artist promise that the best is yet to come.
“Big Tingz” is a significant choice for the first single. Written by Nadine and producer Kenroy “YahBreeze” Archibald the song was the first
track recorded specifically for the new album.
“I work with a lot of different producers, and YahBreeze is definitely
once of my favorites,” says Nadine. “I always write, and the vibe and connection
was there instantly with us. I
immediately wanted to do more songs. We
worked together the whole way.” Nadine is also credited as a
co-producer on the album. Distributor, CED Entertainment Distribution CEO Steve
Lane said, We are excited and proud to be working with Eight76 Records and Nadine
Sutherland on Call My Name”, said CEO Steve Lane. “This
album is great, and the label continues
to impress me with their hard work and integrity as well as talent. “Yes, Big Tingz indeed are
on the horizon for Nadine Sutherland and
Eight76 Records.”
Album will be available in
stores April 3, 2007.
