Your World is the name of the new single by Grammy-winning gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds. It was recorded on the road as he embarked on the 37-city Kingdom Tour alongside Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin.
Your World will be featured on McReynold‘s upcoming album, which, based on this single, should be really great. The song’s official lyric video was also released and can be viewed on Jonathan‘s YouTube channel.
This Sunday, August 7th, Denise Daley MP, Constituency Development Fund and Mayor Norman Scott will present the Eastern St. Catherine 60th Independence Fest At Spanish Town Prison Oval. They are encouraging everyone to wear white with a touch of black, green and gold to the all-day, family event.
Activities for the day include a football competition (from 1 to 4pm), a talent contest and a live stage-show. Jodian Pantry – who gave a heartfelt performance at last week’s burial for Kemesha Wright and her kids – will be among the performers. This event is absolutely free to the public.
The No Logo Festival was created in 2013 as an independent live music event that’s committed only to its patrons. Since the first staging, it has consistently gotten better every year and 2022 is going to be massive!
This August 12th, 13th and 14th, Burning Spear, Morgan Heritage, Takana Zion, The Twinkle Brothers, Lass, Tairo, KT Gorique and a host of others will use three stages to perform approximately 45 sets at the Forges de Fraisans (France).
Malawian dancehall-gospel artist Nanto Peetah is gearing up to release his first full-length studio album this year. The project – dubbed Ministry – will feature African artists Mady P (Don Gogo), Princi Musiq, Ababa Surgent and Jah Flavour; as well as Jamaican lyricist Karamanti.
Prayer Babes, the title of the just released single done with Karamanti, is already getting a lot of attention because so far it is the only international collaboration on the LP. Furthermore, a lot is being said about just how hard Karamanti delivered on the track.
On the afro-beat fused rhythm, the woman, often referred to as the most underrated female lyricist in Jamaican dancehall, asks:
Weh yu know bout prayer babes
when yu go inna di spirit and yu prayer blaze
time stop yu transform to a higher place
only ting weh matter now a word play
so weh yu say?
Call di name a di God yu praise
say it loud & proud mek heaven shake
gratitude yu fi use na na delay
yu cyaa loose if yu choose Jah Jah any day
mi Deejay!
Prayer Babes is now available on all digital music platforms.
Madhouse Records does it again! The dancehall imprint has just shared a tuff new tune called Blood Claat, performed by two well respected veterans in the genre: Bounty Killer and Baby Cham.
At the time of this writing – August 5th – Blood Claat has only been out a few hours and it is already trending. Aside from the fact that the song is done by Cham and Killer, the main reason it has taken off so quickly is because of the things the men are chanting about.
On the record both deejays outline a list of issues that are of serious concern to Jamaicans; and knowing that they are not being adequately addressed, they ‘cuss a Blood Claat.’
