Sly & Robbie Presents: Anthony Red Rose – Déjà Vu!

For mature fans, the name Anthony Red Rose brings back sweet memories from years past, and for newer fans, the name will take some getting used to.  Whether you’re mature, or new, the chune, “Déjà Vu” will hit the spot if Lover’s Rock is your thing!

Performed on the refurbished Soon Forward / Mean Girl riddim, this 2016 version builds on the original produced by the riddim twins and Lowell Charles Filmore in 1979.  The star of that version was Gregory Isaacs with the hit and hot chune “Soon Forward;” the 2016 version stars Anthony Red Rose.

The singer sings:  “I’ve been down this road / before – before / I’ve seen this place / before – before / now I met this girl somewhere before / and she smiled at me / just like that  before / everything seems familiar for sure / as if I’ve seen all these faces before / sun rises in the morning / through my window / I’ve seen it before….”

Believe me when I tell you, this chune will be running your playlist and the airwaves (only if Lover’s Rock is your thing) because it is just wicked like that!  Musically, you’ll appreciate the creative way Sly & Robbie include creative references to Dancehall to the point that all you have to do is press play!

Yes massive – run this chune and watch the massive rock and come een!

Randy Valentine

Randy Valentine arose to international attention with the release of his Mixtape Bring Back the Love, and has held the worlds’ attention through subsequent releases “Wake the Town” and “Carry On.”  He’s one of the most traveled performing artists from the UK, and has an interesting take on why his new voice is so well balanced with ‘old’ music.  When asked about the Rasta faith, Randy gives an interesting answer as to why that is none of his business except his own.

The Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra(PAO)  is an incredible union of musicians and lovers of Afrobeat.  Their ability to transcend barriers and unite people through music is something everyone has to experience.  Senior Writer Song River takes us in to the PAO world, and boy to we love what we see and hear.  After reading this interview, you will want to travel to Phoenix just to hear this orchestra!

Joah Baston got a hold of Cocoa Tea after an electrifying performance in Montreal, and got first hand proof that this Lion still roars!  Cocoa Tea’s energy is that of a younger person which is why he is one of the most appreciated elders in Reggae.

Bridal season is upon us so Fashion and Beauty Editor Kay Cunningham offers Bridal Survival Tips, as well, the featured model this month is Super Model Charlii Fletcher.  The woeld is introduced to Canadian Chantuese Sielle and a personal tribute to Prince is given from Canadian Reggae Songstress Ammoye.
