In 2018, Romain Virgo‘s studio album “LoveSick” peaked at number one on the Billboard chart, after enjoying approximately six weeks in various positions. The reggae singer shared a post on his social media accounts yesterday – March 29th – indicating that he has received the plague from Billboard.
“LoveSick” was released on March 30th in 2018 via VP Records. It was produced by Niko Browne for Lifeline Music, with additional production by Sting International and Vikings Production.
I am sure I have said this before, but I will continue to say it until people start to pay attention to the fact that reggae-dancehall artist Teflon is undeniably one of the most underrated lyricist in the industry.
Those who have not yet noticed this Young King need only to pay attention to the tracks on his just released album, “Years A Pain.” I have personally listened to all the songs on that project, and though I may not agree with all his ideological beliefs, I do think that every single song is catchy, captivating and well delivered.
Last week he shared the official video for “Hardest Hill To Climb,” one of the songs featured on the record, and as I watched the visuals I started thinking that he is indeed climbing a hard hill. And I say that because right now there is little to no substance in dancehall, so any artist that is out there trying to inject some positivity will indeed encounter a lot of challenges.
