Paul Gayle – publicly known as Little Hero – continues to make good music approximately two decades after he officially entered the reggae-dancehall industry. He recently released a catchy single called Keep Shinning; featured on the Rooted & Grounded Riddim by Paul Patmore Production.
The St. Ann’s singer who had his first major hit in 1994 (God Alone, a collaboration done with Merciless and Action Fire) is, in all likelihood, sitting on another number-one record. On Keep ShinningLittle Hero stuck to the theme of the EP, which is inspirational and faith based.
In addition to Hero‘s tune, the Rooted & Grounded Riddim has another five songs, namely: Born Again (Lukie D), One Day (Jodian Pantry), Thank You Lord (Tony Curtis), the title track, Rooted & Grounded (Terry Linen and Dipmatik) and finally, the instrumental.
Producer Paul Patmore is now coming to terms with the reality that he may have two breakout songs from the same compilation trending simultaneously. The lead single, Terry Linen and Dipmatik‘s Rooted & Grounded, is the first to enter heavy rotation on reggae-dancehall platforms globally. It now has to share the spotlight with Hero‘s Keep Shinning.

The recently released album by veteran reggae artist KashieF Lindo, Love On, is now sitting at the number one spot on South Florida’s Foundation Radio Network Reggae Chart. This is the first week that the project has risen to the top position, having been at number three last week.
Love On is a fourteen-track reggae album comprising of both lovers-rock and socially conscious tunes. It was published at the beginning of October via the HeavyBeat Records imprint, headed up by legendary producer Willie Lindo. All the songs were written by both KashieF Lindo and Willie Lindo, with the exception of Can’t Run Away From Your Heart, which was also penned by John Holt, Robert George Bailey and Steve Layne; Case Of Emergency, which shares writing credits with John Holt; Prisoner Of Love, written exclusively by Russ Columbo, Clarence Gaskill and Leo Robin; and Love Stake, which was also written by Gregory Isaacs.
Although KashieF has been releasing music over the years, this album is particularly special because it is his first full length studio LP in almost a decade. And the fact that the record has now reached the top of the reggae chart is evidence that the team at HeavyBeat Records is indeed living up to their slogan: “Worl A Reggae Music Bout Yah!!!”
