The organizers of the annual Legends In Concert have added Jamaica’s living legend, Anthony Malvo, to the 2022 lineup. Malvo will share the stage with other reggae greats: Lady G, Marcia Griffiths, L.U.S.T, Junie Ranks and Jigsy King; as well as American singer and songwriter Michael Bolton.

Those of us who are fans and lovers of reggae music must be careful to distinguish between reggae acts who are committed to making quality music and those distracted by the limelight. The latter usually does any and everything to remain in the minds of the masses, while the former are often so engrossed in the production process that they tend to come across as having a low profile. Such is the case with Anthony Malvo.

The Jamaican singer whose voice can be heard on countless hits dating back to the late 80s, is one of those vocalists who has consistently dedicated all his time and energy to making great music. His catalogue, which includes his just released album – Matured – is a testament to that fact. 

His initial hits include Come Back To Me and Rain From The Skies, both with Tiger; and Take You To The Dance with Daddy Lizard. The combinations were followed by a solo venture recorded with popular producer Bobby Digital. However, Malvo began making some of his best work when he launched the label Real Music Production and produced the Balistic Affair Riddim which featured himself, Leroy Smart, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Sizzla, Ward21, Shinehead, Warrior King and a host of others. His success as both a singer and producer remained constant throughout the 1990s- to date. This makes him an ideal fit for Legends In Concert.

The event is scheduled for Sunday, September 18 at Legion Field – 3173 Mill Street Northeast – in Covington, Georgia. Showtime is 5pm.

The news that Anthony Malvo‘s new album Matured has entered the Jamaica Music Countdown Charts should not come as a surprise to anyone who have heard it.

The record was released approximately one month ago, on July 15 via Anthony‘s own Malvo Entertainment label, and it has already racked up rave reviews from both industry insiders and the general public. The twelve-track project has only one feature: Tell Me, done with Pressure Busspipe; leaving Anthony with all the credit for this exceptional body of work.

For the week of August 18, 2022, Matured is in the #10 spot on the Top Ten Album/CD Chart, curated by radio personality Richie B.

Dave Productions will host Beres Hammond at Ardmore Music Hall – 23 E Lancaster Avenue – in Ardmore, Pennsylvania on Sunday, August 21. This is a part of Beres‘ ongoing Solid Love Tour.

El Feco and DJ Roadkode Trinity will join the king of lovers-rock at the twenty-one and older event (unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian). Starting time is 6:15pm and showtime is 7pm. Get tickets here.

On one of his recent social media post, reggae singer Tony Curtis – who was sending a message to emerging artists at the time – said: “you have to pay 100% love and respect to the music; so give music a hundred percent if you love it.” That sentiment is audible on his upcoming single, Touch; done for Big Feet Records.

The man who works as both a solo artist and a member of the reggae quartet L.U.S.T (with Lukie-D, Thriller-U and Singing Melody), has truly poured himself into Touch. With well written words and a smooth melody, Curtis tells the story of a man, whose separation from his lover has led to sleepless nights and bouts of depression.  

After listening to this song, it becomes very clear why Tony Curtis – someone who’s been making hit songs since the early 90s – remains relevant, while so many others have fallen off.

Touch, the sweet-sounding lovers-rock tune, will be officially released on Friday, August 19th. And as is the case with all projects done by Big Feet Records, Touch will be distributed by VPal Music (a subsidiary of VP Records).
