New Music From Bushman “I Believe” (@NyahManBushman)

St. Thomas recording artist Bushman spent the last two weeks hyping up his new single, “I Believe,” which was officially released today (December 16th). The absolutely amazing reggae tune – that also features Earl Chinna Smith – is heavy on guitar riffs and has a slow steady drum beat that completely enchants the listener.

As usual, Bushman keeps it positive making it clear that he will not fall to temptations or distractions. Click here to stream and download “I Believe” from Amazon.

Gramps Morgan Continues To Transcend Musical Boundaries (@grampsmorgan @JohnnyReid)

Maria Jackson Magazine has just learned that Gramps Morgan, one of the prominent member of the international reggae group Morgan Heritage, has released a Christmas song titled “Fa La La La La.” What stood out to us about this release is that the track is a country record, something we are not use to from a reggae singer.

Interestingly, “Fa La La La La” was produced by Scottish-Canadian country music artist Johnny Reid, who now resides in Nashville, Tennessee. Click here to stream and download “Fa La La La La” from your preferred music platform.
