CaNn CaNn Joins Donskii On The Remix Of “Vibe”

Posted on March 3, 2024 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands’ native CaNn CaNn is featured on the remake of Donskii‘s single Vibe. The newly released song, which comes to us courtesy of Wonder 4 Music, went live on streaming platforms this past Friday, March 1st. The team at Wonder 4 felt that CaNn CaNn is the ideal artist for this remix because, aside from his lyrical prowess, he is a lot like Donskii in that his brand and overall career have been on an upward trajectory.

The original version of Vibe can be accurately described as an afro-dancehall party track that was first shared on Donskii‘s album, Greatness, published in January of this year. CaNn CaNn‘s lyrics, however, have transformed it from being just a club tune to more of a love song with an international flavor.

Vibe (Remix) can be streamed and/or downloaded from Spotify, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon, Tidal, and all other digital music stores. Also, an official music video is already in the works.

Pandemic Records & Ent. Embarks On A New Journey With Jeniel Henningham

Posted on February 28, 2024 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC is by far one of the fastest rising independent music labels in the reggae-dancehall space. As the name implies, the imprint was established during the covid-19 pandemic, and has in a short period of time rose to international prominence.

So far, the brothers Sheldon and Leroy Edwards (label owners) have worked with some of the biggest names in the industry: Capleton, Sizzla Kalonji, Fantan Mojah, Ikaya, Little Hero, Chronic Law, and many more notable acts. After recording only secular projects since their inception, they surprised everyone by releasing a gospel single late last year.

The song Journey, penned and performed by Christian vocalist Jeniel Henningham, has put the worldly organization on a new path. “Jeniel was introduced to Pandemic by a member of the team, and she has a great spirit not just a great voice. Regardless of the genre, once it is good music that is what Pandemic Records is all about. We have not sign Jeniel but it is a decision the team is seriously considering.”

The above statement is Pandemic Records‘ response to questions about how and why they have chosen to venture into the gospel arena. Journey can be downloaded from iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and all other streaming platforms, and the official video can be viewed on Jeniel Henningham‘s YouTube channel.
