Pandemic Records & Ent. Embarks On A New Journey With Jeniel Henningham

Posted on February 28, 2024 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC is by far one of the fastest rising independent music labels in the reggae-dancehall space. As the name implies, the imprint was established during the covid-19 pandemic, and has in a short period of time rose to international prominence.

So far, the brothers Sheldon and Leroy Edwards (label owners) have worked with some of the biggest names in the industry: Capleton, Sizzla Kalonji, Fantan Mojah, Ikaya, Little Hero, Chronic Law, and many more notable acts. After recording only secular projects since their inception, they surprised everyone by releasing a gospel single late last year.

The song Journey, penned and performed by Christian vocalist Jeniel Henningham, has put the worldly organization on a new path. “Jeniel was introduced to Pandemic by a member of the team, and she has a great spirit not just a great voice. Regardless of the genre, once it is good music that is what Pandemic Records is all about. We have not sign Jeniel but it is a decision the team is seriously considering.”

The above statement is Pandemic Records‘ response to questions about how and why they have chosen to venture into the gospel arena. Journey can be downloaded from iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and all other streaming platforms, and the official video can be viewed on Jeniel Henningham‘s YouTube channel.

Wesrok Collaborates With Busy Signal On Heartfelt Single “Don’t Get Me Wrong”

Posted on January 25, 2024 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Every once in a while an artist comes along that creates the kind of music that reminds us who we are at our core: loving and caring souls, all created in the image of God, regardless of our ethnicity, gender or any of our physical attributes. The artist of whom I speak is Bog Walk, St. Catherine native Wesrok, who although labeled Jamaica’s king of country-reggae music, has far surpassed that tag, and should now be referred to as one of the nation’s most inspirational songwriters.

His latest single, Don’t Get Me Wrong – which is done with dancehall giant Busy Signal, who by-the-way rose to the occasion by delivering an equally cogent verse – was released on January 19.

On the record, both men use approximately two minutes and fifty-five seconds to encourage the listener to be kind to their fellow man, notwithstanding their own status, financial or otherwise. Most striking is the following line sung by Wesrok, who was obviously thinking about Jamaicans in need.

“Heart goes out to all the poor
the more than sands upon the shore,
in their hand Africa,
what about Jamaica.”

Don’t Get Me Wrong is out now, and can be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, and all other digital music platforms.

Journey is an inspiring afrobeat track that’s fused with modern dancehall. On the record, Jeniel passionately sings: “when you go through fire, when you go through flood, God will carry you through, don’t give up.” When asked what she would like listeners to take away from Journey, Henningham said the following: “Don’t give up on yourself. No matter how hard life seems, there is a season for everything, and the reaping season will come.”
