Ruach Ru Releases Two Brand New Singles; “Hold Strong” & “Sunshine”! (@RuachRu)

Ruach Ru Releases Two Brand New Singles; “Hold Strong” & “Sunshine”After creating quite a buzz with her record, Mr. Player Man, which was released earlier this year, reggae recording artist Ruach Ru is now sharing new music from her growing catalogue. Earlier today, the singer posted the iTunes link for two brand new singles, namely; Sunshine and Hold Strong.

Sunshine is a timeless song that is both laid back and inspirational all in one. Done on a Caribbean pop rhythm, it puts its listeners in a relaxed state, while the lyrics simultaneously inspires you to do what must be done in order to live the life you desire. This is what Ruach Ru had to say about this track: “Sunshine is all about self-discovery, empowerment, health wealth and abundance. Become like the sunshine, shine bright like a beam… the way you were supposed to be.”

Hold Strong is almost the opposite of Sunshine, from an audible standpoint. It is a bouncy reggae song with a seemingly deeper message of not giving up regardless what must be endured. According Ruach Ru, “Hold Strong was written as a song of encouragement for everyone. Regardless of age, gender race we all face challenges, but it’s important to continue to believe in self, dream a new dream and keep on creating and pushing for success.”

Both songs can now be streamed and downloaded directly from Ruach Ru’s very own digital music store: https://ruachru.bandcamp.com.

King Jammy Presents ‘Dennis Brown Tracks Of Life’ Featuring Jesse Royal, Dre Island, JR. Gong & Others

King Jammy DBKing Jammy Presents: Dennis Brown Tracks of Life, out September 14th on VP / Greensleeves Records, brings contemporary voices to build on the work of two reggae icons – Dennis Brown and King Jammy. The album is a 21st century testament to the enduring power of reggae and dancehall across generations. Producer King Jammy is celebrated as a transitional figure in music production, who, after helping define mixing and studio engineering in the late 70s, utterly reshaped the Jamaican musical landscape in 1985 with Wayne Smith’s “Under Mi Sleng Teng,” the first digital mega hit the genre had experienced.

Dennis Brown Tracks of Life draws largely on studio recordings that Jammy produced for the late reggae superstar Dennis Emmanuel Brown in 1984-1985, which would become the Greensleeves LP Slow Down.

Dennis Brown was the most popular singer in reggae at the time of the original recordings, and King Jammy found him in prime form, recording what would become enduring tracks “It’s Magic,” “Live and Love,” and “Joy In The Morning.” For Tracks of Life, King Jammy went back to the Slow Down master tapes (and several from other projects) and brought veteran and new generation reggae and dancehall stars to the studio to write and sing new lyrics in combination with Dennis Brown. Artists on the project include Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Alborosie, Busy Signal, Bounty Killer & Dawn Penn, Protoje, Romain Virgo, Agent Sasco, Josey Wales,and newcomers Aza Lineage, Jesse Royal, and Projexx, among others.

The vinyl release includes an LP packaged with a 7-inch 45 single of “Can’t Keep” by Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley, an update of Dennis Brown’s “Can’t Keep A Good Man Down.”

King Jammy will celebrate his release with a free performance at the final 2018 edition of Coney Island Reggae On The Boardwalk on Sunday, September 9, 2018 at 3 p.m., on the Coney Island Boardwalk at West 20th Street, Brooklyn, NYC. The Brooklyn Arts Council and VP Records are sponsors of the event.

Dennis Brown Tracks Of Life is available globally on CD, vinyl, and all digital streaming platforms from VP / Greensleeves Records on September 14, 2018.
