After approximately 9 weeks on the Top 20 Albums Chart in South Florida, Ambelique‘s “Blind Spot” is currently sitting at #3. This is a 14-track record that came out in November 2024 on Willie Lindo‘s HeavyBeat Records.

“Blind Spot” was produced by Willie Lindo, and it features a handful of top-tier reggae musicians. Robbie Shakespeare played bass guitar; Sly Dunbar and KashieF Lindo did the drum programming; live drums were played by Paul Douglas; keyboards, organ, piano, synth, and additional bass lines were done by Robbie Lyn and KashieF Lindo; Dean Fraser added the saxophone; additional piano and keyboard chords were done by Dave Richards; and Willie Lindo and Hux Brown played guitar, with Ambelique, Pam Hall, Nikesha Lindo, and Shavanique delivering on the background vocals.

So far, the two breakout singles on “Blind Spot” are track #1 “I’m Thankful” and track #4 “Wash Over Gold Watch.” Both are a favorite among selectors and, as a result, are enjoying heavy rotation on reggae platforms worldwide.
