HOTTT New Lover’s Rock Cover ►►► Nickeishia Barnes – Give Me You!

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!

Strictly For the Lover's ►►► Stephen Souza – Missing You!

Greetings! 

Stephen Souza has a brand new song on the road, and true to Stephen’s style, it’s designed for the Lover’s! 

His new song “Missing You” is about a man who got into an argument with his miss, she left and now he’s missing her … bad!  Familiar theme brought to reality thanks to the literal cry in Stephen’s voice when he sings (not to worry, he and his miss are ‘A’ ok)! 

Musically, the song (can’t call this one a chune) is a synthesizer based melody with a bass line you will respect as it’s familiar, and allows the artist a good canvass to paint these lyrics:  “now yesterday we had a quarrel / I said some things I shouldn’t have said / now I lay across the bed where we once laid / now the only thing that greets me / is this cold and empty pillow / and I’m going girl out of my head ….”  Mercy! 

Combining elements of R&B and Reggae with a dash of Lover’s Rock, Stephen Souza had a brand new chune on his hands waiting for you to hear!

Welcome to Natasha's Music Box!

Greetings and welcome to Natasha's Music Box!

My name is Natasha Von Castle, and I write about music daily.  If you're in Reggae and Dancehall, you've heard of me.  If you're in Hip Hop and R&B, not so much.  All the same music is me!

I studied music formally and professionally, so I know a few tidbits.  When it comes to critiquing music, I write about what I like and say little about things I don't find appealing (Mama told me if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all).

I'm the Editor-in-Chief for www.L3Magazine.com and, in addition to writing about music, I'm a radio presenter on www.radioregent.com in Toronto (Monday's from 10am to 1pm EST), www.daflavaradio.com and 1430 AM in Atlanta (Tuesday's from 10am to 1pm EST), www.basslinemuzik.com in Tampa, www.Reggae4Us.com in the UK and Europe and www.NoyzRadio.com + 95.3 FM in Brooklyn, New York. 

I distribute Reggae and Dancehall (sometimes other genres) to over 5,000 radio, club and mixtape DJ's around the world on a daily basis, and have a number of clients which include artists, production companies and record labels.  Basically, I am very immersed in music and most times I know what I'm talking about!

I hope you drop by daily to get my views on what's new.  I'll include all genres as well as flyers / posters of artists performing as well as tour reports!  If you have a question, email me and I'll answer as quickly as I can.  If you're a DJ, you get priority!  You can contact me HERE!
