Although it’s been a ruff couple of years for music creators and performers, 2022 may actually turn out to be a good one for music users. That is because of all the new albums that should be coming out over the next twelve month period.
That said, another long time reggae veteran has join the list of artists that are promising new albums this year. Anthony Malvo, via his social media platform, hinted that he’s working on a brand new LP. The post was made with the hashtag “Mature,” which may be the name of the upcoming project.
Jamaican-Venezuelan vocalist Joanna Marie kicked off 2022 by taking on John Holt‘s classic, Be Close To You (My Best Girl). Although the record has been remixed in the past by various artists, Marie is the first woman to provide a female’s take on it, which explains her title: My Best Boy (Close To You).
Her version is produced by personal and business partner Ed Robinson, who is also a recording artist in his own right. Released on January 7th, 2022, My Best Boy (Close To You), is on the Reggae Global Entertainment imprint, a label that is owned and operated by the couple.
When asked what she would like listeners to take away from her rendition of the song, Joanna Marie said: “My twist on the song,,,, This classic sung by a woman.”
Since the end of 2020 veteran dancehall artist Bling Dawg has been promising his fans and supporters a new album. He has even put out a few singles that are to be featured on the record, which by-the-way is titled ELEV8.
This past week the deejay shared what looks like the album cover art while simultaneously announcing the following release date: Friday, February 4th, 2022.
Now it would be remiss of me not to say that Bling Dawg did promise to publish the full project last year; so I wouldn’t recommend getting excited until ELEV8 is actually available on digital streaming platforms.
Macy Gray and her backing band will be live at Blue Note Hawaii on consecutive dates later this month. She is confirmed for January 21st, 22nd and 23rd at the aforementioned music venue, which is located at 2335 Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii.
