It is truly refreshing to hear Warrior King‘s new song, “One Perfect Love,” released on Friday, September 18th. As we’ve come to expect from the veteran reggae singer, the record is all about the importance of spreading love.

One of the things artists are doing in an attempt to stay relevant is vlogging. For those not familiar with this term, it is basically a video blog. This has always been somewhat of a norm with international pop artists but we are now seeing more and more local acts engaging in the process.

Wayne Marshall and his wife, for example, have been vlogging for approximately five months. Today – September 17th – we are learning that Romain Virgo and his wife have just launched their show, which they’re calling “The Virgos.”
It remains to be seeing whether or not reggae/dancehall fans will be as receptive to this as the international pop fans are.
