Tommie Tei Shares New Reggae Song “Those Days” (@TommyTeeMusic)

Emerging recording artist Tommie Tei, who has been getting a lot of attention lately, has just released a new reggae song titled Those Days. The record, which was published on September 14th, is all about a time when life felt better: before we were bombarded with crime and violence, before the covid-19 pandemic and all the challenges that come along with it; a time when kids were innocent and people genuinely cared.

Those Days is a groovy, mid-tempo one drop reggae tune that has the power to capture the mind of the listener and transport them back to their better days. The actual beat, which was created by Dwayne Euter, is appropriately dubbed Golden Days Riddim. 

When pressed on what motivated him to make this record a reflective Tommie Tei said: “the way things are now compare to how it was before gave me the inspiration to write this song.” 

Though he hails from Jamaica, Tommie Tei spends a lot of time in the Cayman Islands and it is there, at Euter Recording Studio, that this song was created (both beat production and vocal recording).

J.C. Lodge Is Still Giving Us Irresistible Love Songs (@JCLodgeOfficial)

June Carol Lodge, who is publicly known as J.C. Lodge is still thrilling us with beautiful love songs. Lodge‘s breakout single was a mellow lovers-rock reggae tune called Someone Loves You Honey, which was released all the way back in 1982. Since then the British singer has been busy fulfilling her other passions: painting, acting etc. all while continuing to make great music.

Her latest release is an irresistible love song dubbed Over. It’s on the Divorce Court Riddim that was published in April of this year via the LionkingMuzik label. As she has always done, Lodge sings about the intricacies of intimate relationships and breaks it down in a way that only she can.

A few days ago J.C. Lodge and her team shared the official video for Over. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.
