Posted on December 17, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Emerging Nigerian popstar Joeboy today shares the vibrant visuals for “Celebration,” his latest single and his final release of 2020.

The Dammy Twitch-directed video builds on the jubilant, gospel-inflected sound of “Celebration,” released to DSPs earlier this month. An uplifting addition to a season that, in any normal year, would be reserved for festive gatherings, “Celebration” depicts life’s simple joys, with a color scheme inspired by traditional Yoruba attire.

The breakout act from Mr Eazi’s #emPawa100 talent incubator, Joeboy has become one of African music’s brightest new stars in just over a year, topping charts across the Continent with an improbable run of smashes. With lyrics that capture the innocence of young love and the sting of youthful heartbreak, the 23-year-old crooner has carved his own lane within the increasingly crowded field of Nigerian pop stars, amassing more than 500 million streams of his music across DSPs.

KRS-One Goes In On American Politics “Don’t Fall For It” (@IAmKRSOne)

Posted on December 16, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Yesterday (December 15th) I made a post talking about the one good thing that covid19 has done for a music addict like myself; and that is to inspire some of music’s best MCs, lyricists, songwriters, artists etc. to start creating again.

That being said, KRS-One aka hip-hop’s teacha, is back in the booth! I am learning that the legend has a new album coming on December 21st titled “Between Da Protests.”

Just a few days ago he shared the video for one of the songs that will be on that project, “Don’t Fall For It.” On the record, KRS goes all the way in on the highly charged political atmosphere in the United States. He accused both political parties of using black and brown people for their respective political gains.

It is truly refreshing to hear substantive lyrics in hip-hop again. Click here to check out “Don’t Fall For It“ and remember to like, comment and share.

Crystal Reid Collaborates With Jai Kingston On 2nd Single From Her Upcoming Album (@ChrissyCrystal @Jaikingston)

Posted on December 15, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Gospel recording artist and performer, Crystal Reid, just shared another single from her upcoming album, “Power.” The new song, which is a collaboration done with Jai Kingston, is titled “Fight My Battles For Me Lord.”

Like much of her other songs, this one is also inspired by real life events. According to Reid, she penned her part at the beginning of the year after being attacked in both her professional and personal life. Once she realized that she was indeed in the midst of a spiritual warfare, she turned the battle over to God, hence the name “Fight My Battles For Me Lord.“

The track was produced by Worship5eer Production, owned by Minister Solomon Bill, who is from Zimbabwe. Bill played all the instruments on the track, while the mixing and mastering was done by Enoch Attey of the Table 12 Group production team. Crystal Reid recorded her vocals at the Worship5eer Studios in Edmonton, Canada and Jai Kingston did his at Image Records in Kingston, Jamaica.

When asked what she would like people to take away from the song, Reid said the following:
“This song encourages us that when we are faced with any situation that seems difficult or hard to handle, just call on the Lord to fight the battle for us. So instead of cursing, getting upset, or even falling along the way, we have to stand on the assurance that God is a present help in the time of trouble and all he requires for us to do is call on him. The reality is that there will be difficult times, but God promises to be our refuge and strength. I called on him and yes he came through for me and i promise you that he will do the same for many others.”
