Miriam Simone Addresses Global Wars In Recent Release “Stop The Shooting”

Last November, several days after Gaza resumed its armed conflict with the state of Israel, reggae artist Miriam Simone – in collaboration with producer Paul Scott of Sound System Club Ltd. – shared the single Stop The Shooting. On a modern mix of Bob Marley‘s Crazy Baldhead rhythm, the Surinamese vocalist who resides in The Netherlands made an impassioned plea to the citizens of earth to stop killing each other. 

“I hope to touch the hearts of those who are a part of the war and those who are driven by violence. Because we are all children of creation and I cannot imagine what evil can come into mankind to get so heartless to hurt another human being.” The preceding is Miriam Simone‘s answer when asked what she would like listeners to take away from Stop The Shooting.

Stop The Shooting can be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Apple Music etc. It will also be featured on Simone‘s upcoming, not yet titled EP, which is being produced by Paul Scott for Sound System Club Ltd.

Reggae lovers in The Netherlands are encouraged to attend the Bob Marley Tribute Festival at Patronaat in Haarlem on February 10th, as Miriam Simone will be performing with the Tuffsound Band.

Jeniel Henningham Now Accepting Bookings For 2024

Reggae-gospel recording artist Jeniel Henningham is now available for bookings, features, interviews etc. The America-based Jamaican vocalist is actively promoting her recently released single, Journey, which was published at the end of September via Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC.

Journey is an up-tempo, inspirational dancehall track that has identifiable highlights of west African afro-beat. In addition to being a melodious tune that we – the listening audience – can enjoy, Journey is also a personal affirmation for Henningham, who while penning this song declared – on record – that she would make all the moves she is currently making. 

As she readies her new, powerful, and faith-filled EP – not yet titled – Jeniel is very focused and clear-eyed about the journey she has embarked on. Said journey is disclosed on the aforementioned track, which can be streamed and/or downloaded from all digital music platforms.

Dollarman’s “We Belong” Has Entered The Foundation Radio Network NY Charts

Dollarman‘s new lovers-rock single, We Belong, which was officially released at the beginning of the year (on January 1), has now entered The Foundation Radio Network NY Charts, which is curated by Clinton Lindsay. The fact that it was added to such a popular music chart means that We Belong is now considered to be one of the top 30 reggae songs in and around the New York tri-state area.

For those not familiar with Dollarman, he is an accomplished songwriter, producer, and recording artist who hails from Grenada. He migrated to the United States at a young age, and have been involved in music ever since. He got his big break in 2006 when he connected with French producer Bob Sinclar. That union resulted in him being featured on two international hit songs: Rock This Party and Sounds Of Freedom.Rock This Party went gold approximately five weeks after it was released, and it also sat at #1 on the Billboard Music Chart, while Sounds Of Freedom made it to #3.

Although the music industry has changed significantly since then, Dollarman and the co-producer of We Belong – Bernard Joseph, also known as OBI – are both working towards achieving the equivalent of a gold record with We Belong

We Belong can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Boomplay, Deezer, etc., and is available for download on iTunes and Amazon.

Wonder 4 Music Shares Donskii’s First Full-Length Studio Album “Greatness”

As Ghana rapidly becomes the home of Afro-dancehall on the continent of Africa, a great many lyricists, chanters and deejays are always working towards becoming the next ‘big thing’. One man that has been getting a lot of attention from the genre’s fans and supporters, as well as from members of the local industry, is Donskii

The Wonder 4 Music signee, who is fairly new on the scene, shared his first EP – Fully Don – last summer (July 24). Based on its positive reception the team at Wonder 4, headed by Tradition Man Wolo, thought it prudent to kick off the year with a full-length studio album. That said, Donskii‘s new LP, Greatness, went live on all streaming platforms approximately two weeks ago (January 16). 

Confirming the statement made earlier, Donskii‘s introductory album attracted the interest of some of Ghana’s most celebrated producers: Gomezbeatx (Image, Greatness, Vibe, Hard Times, Contract, Money Time, Firm, Gone and Love Life); E.L. (Lose Control); MOG Beatz (Party); and Possigee (Fully Don). So far, the tracks Lose Control, Party and Love Life have been serviced to selectors, and all three are getting favorable reviews. 

In a communication from Wonder 4 Music regarding this project, the label executives said the following: “This album serves notice to all about Donskii’s staying power. His approach to the development and recording of this album was very intense and he worked really hard. The “Fully Don Boss” as he refers to himself, hopes all will feel his dedication and hardwork when they listen to the album.”
