Reggae Artist Mr. D Gets “A Vision” 

Jamaican reggae singer Mr. D, who is now based in Atlanta, Georgia, has just released a new single titled A Vision. The track, which has an early 80s dancehall vibe, details an actual intuitive insight he received one day after reading the Bible (something that is a part of his daily routine). 

Because of the strong religious language used throughout the tune, Mr. D – in a recent interview – was asked about his Faith; he simply stated that he is not a member of any religion or way of life, but that he is a vigorous believer in God Almighty.

The positive messages outlined on the record, combined with the laid back way in-which the rhythm was done, makes A Vision an ideal song to listen to while relaxing and / or meditating. It was produced by Douglas McLeary and executive produced by Donald Carr. All the creative work was done in Mr. D‘s Symbolic Fresh Music studio in the Atlanta area.

After staying in the background for years as a song writer for artists like The Silvertones and The Magnificents, Mr. D is now forging ahead with his own career. A Vision, which is now available on all music platforms, will be featured on his upcoming album.

George Nooks’ New Album “Through It All” Is Out Now! (@Tadsrecord)

Through it All … If ever there was a time when such words were on point it is now. Through the challenges of the pandemic and other testing events our anchor in God has brought us through. George Nooks’ new album Through It All is a timely gem to musically quell our weary hearts and souls. Nooks is known for choosing some classic songs and presenting them in a manner that gives listeners a soothing feel and transcendent lyrics to rock and mediate on.

George Nooks has always enjoyed hearing joyful noises to the Lord. Since he was a boy going to the Mount Carmel Apostolic Church in his hometown of King Weston in rural Jamaica. 

The singer, who has made a name belting out gospel songs like God is Standing By and Ride Out Your Storm, continues his inspirational journey with Through it All, his latest album which is being distributed by Tad’s Record Inc. It contains 13 songs including the title track as well as gospel standards such as Amazing Grace, I Surrender All and a spiritual interpretation of The Stylistics‘ You Make Me Feel Brand New.

“From I was little I listened to some of these songs in church. My grandmother was the mother of the church and I used to be there with her all the time,”Nooks recalled. 
Though his initial hit songs like Tribal War and Fortyleg Dread made him a dancehall star in the late 1970s, Nooks erupted in 2000 with God is Standing By, a foot-stomping reggae cover of a soul song originally done by Al Green in the early 1970’s. 

Nooks has released a series of gospel hits since then. And even though he periodically dabbles in secular music, he says it is important to keep things clean. “I don’t do derogatory songs. I never did any song I couldn’t go into the church and sing.”

Through it All is exclusively produced by George Nooks for Tad’s Record Inc. It is available worldwide.

We have come to expect nothing less of George Nooks and yet again he has surpassed our expectations with this remarkable album. This album is dedicated to all persons yearning for spiritual upliftment.
