Season’s Greetings From Mesha Steele

In the wake of what can only be described as a successful 2024, recording artist Mesha Steele is gracefully concluding the year by sharing Christmas songs from her expanding catalogue. In November, she unveiled both an album and a single dedicated to the festive season, inviting music lovers to embrace her unique holiday spirit.

Two key projects that deserve special attention are her previously released album, “Christmas in Paradise,” and the single “Good Mawnin Miss Lady.” Originally published years ago under John Q Records, “Christmas in Paradise” has been meticulously remastered and re-released through Mesha‘s independent imprint, Riddim Allstars. This album showcases her artistic evolution while retaining the warmth and joy associated with traditional Christmas music.

Moreover, “Good Mawnin Miss Lady,” which was produced during the pandemic, represents Mesha Steele‘s innovative take on a beloved Belizean Christmas classic of the same name. This reinterpretation not only honors its roots but also infuses it with her distinct style.

Both projects are readily accessible to audiences across various platforms including iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Apple Music, and all other major streaming services. As we approach this festive season, Mesha Steele‘s contributions provide a delightful soundtrack for all who celebrate this joyous time of year.

Sheldon Gava Prepping New Single For Jan. 1, 2025

After becoming disillusioned with the music industry, emerging Rastafarian artist Sheldon Gava opted to take a brief hiatus that lasted approximately two years. It was only through his association with like-minded music enthusiasts at large-scale, multi-genre music festivals that he began to rekindle his passion for combining words and melodies. 

With his renewed excitement for creating tunes, Sheldon Gava has decided to get back in the game. As such, he will be releasing a new track titled “Read” on January 1, 2025. While making the announcement, Gava said the following: “New Year’s Day represents a new beginning, growth, and wishful thinking of changing for the better. “Read” answers the question, Should old acquaintances be forgotten? Yes, whenever necessary.”

Sheldon Gava was born in Old Harbor Bay, St. Catherine, Jamaica, but grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Among his discography is a ten-track album titled “Natty De Ras,” which was released in October 2020 on his own Gava Music LLC label. That was followed by “Weather Change,” a seven-track EP that was officially published on April 30th, 2021.
