As they continue to promote their recently released single, Duh Road, U.S. based female group Worl-A-Girl, along with their production team, which is headed by Sidney Mills – the CEO of SPI Music Inc. – are actively prepping a new album that will be published in 2024.
Many years ago Worl-A-Girl emerged on the scene as a groundbreaking all female American hip-hop and R&B-influenced reggae ensemble, with an international flavor that reflects the diverse backgrounds of its members: Sabrina (Trinidad), Linda (U.S.A), Sensi (England), and Juliet (Jamaica). Their music has been described as powerful messages of unity, diversity, and social awareness.
With approximately twenty-five recorded tracks to date, Worl-A-Girl‘s catalogue is made up of mostly hits: Jamaican Bobsled Chant, featured on the soundtrack for Cool Runnings; No Gunshot (Put Down the Gun), the peace promoting tune shared in 1994; their rendition of Bob Marley‘s mega hit song, No Woman No Cry; etc. The newer singles – La La and Duh Road – are gradually following suit. As a matter of fact, some remixes of La La are now in the works and should be released soon.
Next year Worl-A-Girl will add a ten-track LP to their already impressive collection, but in the meantime, their fans and supporters are encouraged to stream/download Duh Road from their preferred music platform.
