Today – September 18th – music producer, Bulby York, released his third album titled “Heart Crafted.” The compilation features several top-tier reggae/dancehall acts, namely: Jimmy Cliff, Beres Hammond, Maxi Priest, Sanchez, Dean Fraser, Tanto Metro & Devonte, Capleton, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Busy Signal, Agent Sasco, Etana, and a few others.
The project, which has a total of seventeen (17) tracks and is on his very own Bulby York Music label, is now available on all music platforms.
The covid-19 pandemic has caused every industry to reexamine the way they do things; the music business is no different. Tours and live shows are simply not happening right now, and by the looks of things, they won’t be for a while.
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.
Several reggae/dancehall artists have taken to their social media platforms to give their fans a behind the scenes look at their everyday lives. 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.

A few days ago, Spaghetti Records’ gospel recording artist Monique unveiled the official video for her powerful single, “Halleluyah All The Way.” The song, which is taken from her third studio album with 14 tracks – Working For Me – is all about the believers confidence in the awesome power of God.
The video was directed by LexTen, who did a great job in translating the song’s lyrical message into a visual one. Monique‘s advise to all believers is the following: “Let your Faith go ahead of you, confront every situation with confidence that your GOD is bigger. Mountains obey the Praise of GOD.”
