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 just experienced another amazing release,
and this time it comes from Saunjay
‘Triple Ace’ Kerr also known as J’Island
Records.The name of the riddim is The Letter Riddim and I know it’s
one you are going to LOVE!
Beginning with the riddim, it’s mellow, easy groove;
sweet.Saunjay uses the bass line as a
bed, and tops the bed with harps and synthesizers.For accents, he uses drums which compliment the
overall production.
Vocally, Cali P
tells us why we love “Reggae Music”
so much by singing:“Ease off the pressure
mek we feel likkle betta / Reggae music have the vibes / ease off the pressure
mek we feel likkle betta / spread the joy and hold a vibes / Reggae music / is
playing / what a wonderful feeling ….”
Combine the riddim and Cali P’s lyrics and we have a hit
riddim for radio, iTunes and mixtapes!Supporting the lead single from Cali P (from
Guadeloupe / Switzerland), is Nikki Burt
