The Jamaican singer with the distinctive voice – Terry Linen – who hails from the Red Bank district in St. Elizabeth, has – since the mid to late 90s when he began working with Anthony Red Rose – consistently delivered hits. He has given us: Couldn’t Be The Girl For Me, Jah Jah You Save Me, his rendition of Whitney Houston‘s Your Love Is My Love, and so much more.

His latest release is an upbeat reggae track called Playing Money Games, which he produced exclusively for Tad’s Record Inc. The song tackles the sensitive topic of “gold diggers,” and sees Linen lamenting on his love interest’s constant need for money, something that greatly displeases him.

The record was first shared in early May via Tad’s Record, and it continues to grow and gain support on reggae platforms worldwide. If you have not done so as yet, stream and/or download Playing Money Games from iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify etc. It is available on all digital music stores.

Jamaican singer and saxophonist Yishka, who is now based in Florida, has just shared the first official music video from his new album: Windy Day. The video – directed by Loxley Beckford – is for the title track, and it shows clips of Yishka energetically performing the song in various locations in and around Miami. Beckford and the team responsible for the delightful visuals did a masterful job of grabbing our attention with the bright scenes they chose, while Yishka for his part, enthralls us with his simple, yet captivating dance moves.

Windy Day is one of six original tunes featured on the twelve-track instrumental reggae LP, produced by Danny Breakenridge for Upstairs Music. The other six are renditions of popular soul songs: The Melodians‘ Little Nut Tree, Eric Clapton and Babyface‘s Change The World, Boris Gardiner‘s The Beauty Of The Night, David Ruffin‘s Walk Away From Love, Jackie Opel‘s Eternal Love and Bob Thiele and George David Weiss‘ Wonderful World.

Danny Breakenridge was very wise to release this project in time for the holidays, because it would be an amazing gift for any music lover. Stream and/or download Windy Day (the album) from iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify and all other streaming platforms.
