One of Jamaica’s most respected female voices, as it relates to the reggae music industry, is Sister Carol. Always active as both a recording artist and producer, the Jamaican-born, U.S.-based reggae veteran is now gearing up to release a compilation album called Millennium Movie Star. 

To that end, and in an effort to pique our interest, Sister Carol has shared the project’s lead single – Be Alone – which is a collaboration done with her daughter Nakeeba Amaniyea, an impeccable and accomplished artist in her own right. 

Be Alone has been described as ‘a modern-day channeling of lovers-rock’ by some in the media. Others say that it feels like a simpler time when men and women danced together, dated for a while, and fell in love. In other words, it feels good. The official video, which was uploaded to YouTube at the end of September, certainly encompasses all the preceding statements. 

Be Alone is now available on iTunes, Apples Music, Deezer, Spotify, and all other digital music platforms. It comes to us courtesy of Black Cinderella Productions and YeYeX Multimedia Productions, and is being distributed by Tad’s Record Inc.

Based on its continued growth, the team at Big Feet Records – the music label on which it is published – thought it was time to give it some visuals. That said, the official video premiered on YouTube this past Friday, October 6th.

Because of his esteemed status within Jamaica’s music industry, several notable reggae figures made cameo appearances in the clip: Keith Silvertones Coley, Daddy Shark, Quench Aid, Jr. Byles, The Sheriff, Lamont, and others.
