Younger Generation Beres! ►►►HOTTT New Rhythmic Soul! Al Third – Feeling in My Life!

Greetings!

Do you remember Beres Hammond in his younger days, in particular his Disco Soul song called “Good Love?!”  Well, if you remember that song produced by Collin ‘Bulby’ York and Lynford ‘Fatta’ Marshall for the album Dee Lite, and if you remember Beres’s voice then, you will truly appreciate Al Third and what his team, Young Veterans, are grooming this young artist to become!  Huge compliment! 

Launching his international presence with the Rhythmic Soul release “Feeling in My Heart,” Al Third serenades the ladies with a soul filled performance and lyrics of romance.  Both the performance and the appearance are on point making him a prime candidate for cross over attention! 

Produced by Young Veterans, the musical composition of the song will remind you of part Disco, and part Soul, hence the new category of Rhythmic Soul.  You will be pleasantly surprised!  Mixed format DJ’s who move between Reggae / Soul / House / R&B / Disco, you definitely don’t want to sleep on this chune.

Pre-Valentine and Valentine Special ►►► MasSicker aka King Mas – Crazy Love!

Right now on the East Coast, we are being pounded by Nemo; a snowstorm dumping multiple feet of snow.  That’s what’s happening outside!  Inside it’s a different story! 

MasSicker aka King Mas has released his cover of the chune “Crazy Love” which in one word is flawless.  Singing with every ounce of passion and feeling, Mas delivers one of his best vocals to the point that his version rivals the original performed by Van Morrison in 1970, Aaron Neville’s version in 1996 and Michael Buble’s in 2009.  MasSicker’s version is that great! 

Changing the arrangement of the chune, the artist uses an easy juggle bounce musical composition with a sweet yet subtle bass line that punches in a roots drop, then punches out.  Madd!  The backing vocals are the best I’ve heard from a younger generation artist, and the perfect compliment to Mas’s phenomenal vocals.  One more thing for you music aficionados is that you’ll appreciate Mas’s use of drum roll we’re used to hearing in roots Reggae, but instead of the whole roll, he gives us a taste.  Yum!

HOTTT New Reggae! Lutan Fyah – Gospel Winer!

So the drama in the church continues this week with Sister Dina’s daughter who took off with the Deacon and is dating the Pastor!  Ha!  Don’t take me too seriously, but take Lutan Fyah’s “Gospel Winer” seriously as that’s where I’m getting all the details!  

Teaming with Kirk ‘Kirkledove’ Bennett, Lutan Fyah gives us a sonic version of a Jerry Springer show  as he leaks all the details about Sister Dina’s daughter who does everything including peep to see how much people are putting in the offering pan.  Lord! 

Musically, Kirkledove’s brilliance shines as the chune is percussion heavy with the drums, and high hat which mimicks a tambourine on the offbeat.  Melodically, the banjo provokes the bass into mellow action making room for Lutan’s vocals to deliver the juicy and gossip-y details!  Woi!

Pree the lyrics:  “she dress up and gone ah bible class / she leff out wid ar skirt too short / she siddung careless then focus pon har / she get inna spirit when the Deacon ah talk / all dih church bredda love how she gwaan….”

◄◄◄ Throwback Thursday! He’s Broader Than Broadway and We’ve Caught Him!

The year was 1979, and the album Broader than Broadway was just released.  Barrington Levy, aka the singer with the canary voice had the world locked and listening to his every note. 

It’s hard to believe, but Barrington began his recording career at the age of 14 when he teamed with his cousin in 1976 to form the band the Mighty Multitude.  That experience yielded the song “My Black Girl” and armed the singer with enough confidence to know, music is where he is destined to be. 

Fast forward to 1979, and we have the album Broader than Broadway.  Track 12 is one of the many chunes that holds our attention.  “You Have Caught Me” is simplistic in riddim delivery, making it the perfect canvass for Barrington to paint the most beautiful portrait … a song of love! 

The canary voice sings “you have caught me baby / you have caught me / and I’m falling in Love with You / so there ain’t nothing else / for you to do / but to love me like I love you…”  Kaboom! 

This classic chune still gets fans of all age groups even to this day.  Hard to believe it’s 32 years old and gets a huge forward every time it’s played. 

Some of the people who helped bring Levy’s voice to prominence include Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes, and his work with Roots Radics band.  Add to that the fans whom he was performing for in the Dancehalls from such a young age.  Early hits, that bring back special memories for fans are “Murderer,” “Broader Than Broadway” and “Collie Weed.”

HOTTT New Reggae! MasSicker aka King Mas – Fade Away

Riddim – check.  Lyrics – check.  Artist – check.  We begin 2013 with the music and message of MasSicker aka King Mas who doesn’t disappoint with his chune “Fade Away!”  Performed on an updated version of the 1976 Studio One classic, Unchained Riddim, MasSicker lays the foundation for what 2013 holds for all of us:  #1 and we don’t play #2!  

Using his microphone responsibly, King Mas singjays:  “number one we don’t play number two / all dem ah try dem can stop dih Warriors from go through / dis dih natty rebel and yuh ah go get slew / many are called but the chosen are few (repeat) / because jah know we keep stepping up higher / blazin up dih fyah / fih dih yute ah revolute ah spark it like ah live wire / Babylon time ah expire.…” 

These lyrics are for the people who have been stepped on, stepped over and wronged.  These lyrics are for the people who will rise in 2013!  Kaboom!

About MasSicker aka King Mas: 

Vocal Signature:  I Tell Yuh!  On the heels of his successful single “One Wish” released in July, 2011 King MAS recently completed his first official studio album under his own Viral Sounds Entertainment music label. The album draws upon support from the legendary Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace, the talents of the quickly rising Dubtonic Kru, productions from international producer “Dready,” a collaboration with the upcoming R&B/Reggae crooner Jemere Morgan and support from many others. The culmination of 6 years in the industry, this will be the first showcase of all that the king can do and will mark the beginning of what looks to be a long, prosperous, and illustrious career built from the ground up. Look for this fiery, dynamic, and yet, smooth young king to continue to “MasSicker” Babylon with words, power, and sound.

HOTTT New Dancehall Freestyle from Sting 2012! Busy Signal – Mystery History!

Sting 2012 was stung by Busy Signal in front of a home audience and international audience who was baited by every syllable put together to form every lyric.  In a word, Busy was outstanding! 

Dressed in a suit of white, the Dancehall DJ took to the stage just after 4:00am, his first song being “Nah Go Ah Jail,” from there, we went off, and the audience went off too.  Busy could not be stopped. 

Delivering what all critics agree to be the performance of the night, Busy styled those who needed to be styled and he did it with lyrics we haven’t heard before.  He did it with a true Freestyle and guess what the artist and Management asked me to share with you today (even though I’m supposed to be on Christmas holidays!)?!  Yes, the Freestyle. 

Here’s a quick pree of a few syllables and please note, the chune begins with the sound of a plane flying:  informer call mih name / jah know dih bwoy dem sell me out / B-U-S-Y ah so dih bwoy spell me out / deh pon ah flight from Amsterdam / dih bwoy corral me out / inna dih immigration line me hear dih bwoy dem yell me out / say mih nah go ah jail again still dih bwoy dem jail me out / so mih link wid KD Knight fih see if he can bail me out ….” 

The brilliance of the words is that Busy told all his fans last night exactly what happened direct.  No host asking questions, no words to read, just Busy holding a reasoning directly with his fans.  Musical Murdah!  Read Busy's exclusive interview at www.L3Magazine.com!
