The name Nickeishia
Barnes may sound familiar to you because of her success with Digicel Rising
Stars, and her name may sound familiar because of the fantastic EP she released
in January called ‘Wounded in Love’
on the J’Island Records label.Today, Nickieshia Barnes is going to sound
familiar because of the cover she’s recorded of Tamia’s song “Give Me U.”
Produced by Sheldon
‘Calibud’ Stewart (son of the legend Bobby Digital), the song hears Nickeishia
in a style that is Lover’s Rock and at the same time allows her R&B voice to
shine bright.The part of the song where
she sings “sexy words / don’t mean a lot to me / cause I’ve heard / just about
everything / that a man could ever say / to me to make me stay / before / now I
need more / so don’t bring me roses / bring me the truth...” will impress even
the toughest critics!Ka-Boom!
The preview link is available on SoundCloud.Big up DJ Steve from the Karma Reggae Show for breaking this chune to his
radio audience in the UK!
Reggae music has one more reason to be excited, and that one
more reason is a singer by the name of Miriam
Simone!
Performing with passion, Miriam has caught the attention of
a number of people, including the legendary ear of the Digital B recording studio on Ron’s Road in Kingston, Jamaica.There, where history has been recorded by
legends such as Buju Banton, Morgan Heritage and Shabba Ranks, Miriam Simone
laid the vocals for the chune “Dem Ah
Chat” which is one of many that will catch your attention!
Adapting the familiar lyrics from Bob Marley and The Wailers
chune “Hypocrites,” Miriam brings the message to 2013 by singing: “Dem ah chat,
chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat pon mih business / mih business, mih
business / ah / nobody haffi know / dangerous people / I know them all / they
smile in my face / but don’t like me at all / but I don’t mind them / I just
stay far / they are hypocrites but they can’t faze me / I still show them my
Love….”Ka-Boom!
Musically, you will be excited by the richness
of the bass line which is the ultimate back up to Miriam and supports her every
word.The greatness of the music comes

a chune you must add to your selection.
