MAY 11, 2010 ITATION RECORDS TO RELEASE CLEARLY RIDDIM. FREE DOWNLOAD

noreply@blogger.com (SOUL OF THE LION) — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:26:00 +0000

Following the amazing reception worldwide to the first singles released on the riddim, Kali Blaxx’ “Nah Trust Dem” and “Be What You Want To Be” from Pressure earlier this month, Itation Records is pleased to announce that on May 11, 2010 Itation will release the complete set of 17 crucial tracks on the Clearly Riddim. Another creative partnership between Itation and the Tune In Crew production team, the Clearly riddim will light the way among roots and kulcha reggae fans for a long time to come. The Clearly Riddim is Itation's first riddim release since winning UnitedReggae.com's Roots Riddim of the Year for its World Go Round Riddim in 2008.

Kali Blaxx and Pressure, first heard on KISS 100 (London), ZIP FM (Jamaica), Boston’s 97.7, WVIP (New York), CHRY (Toronto), Generations 88.2 (Paris) and WLRN (Miami), launched intense international demand for the riddim from such locales as France, the UK and the USA. And now, the powerful music and the messages of Lutan Fyah, Fanton Mojah, Mega Banton, Delly Ranx, Al Pancho and many more can now be heard as well.

Itation Records is pleased to make Al Pancho’s “The Way” a free download.

NEW RELEASE: Yabby You - Legacy

noreply@blogger.com (SOUL OF THE LION) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:54:00 +0000

VIVIAN "YABBY YOU" JACKSON.
1946 - 2010
Now digitally re-mastered. Hear the legacy of this legendary roots artist and dub-wise producer like you have never heard him before.

click to purchase on

Vivian “Yabby You” Jackson passed away only recently, but his legacy is already assured. Yabby You Music and Zojak World Wide are pleased to present the release of Legacy, a 25-track collection of crucial Vivian Jackson productions. Set to be featured May 4th, 2010 on iTunes and available via e-tailers worldwide, Legacy spans the entire career of the legendary artist/producer and features songs digitally re-mastered by world-renowned engineer, James "Bonzai" Caruso (4-time Grammy winner for Damian Marley's Welcome to Jamrock and Stephen Marley's Mind Control). An active Christian throughout his life, Yabby You, or Jesus Dread, as he was sometimes known, set himself apart from his mostly Rastafarian contemporaries. However, it was his music that would make an even more lasting impression.

Legacy opens appropriately with Vivan Jackson’s breakthrough song, Conquering Lion. Recorded for legendary producer King Tubby in 1972, “Conquering Lion” established Vivian Jackson as a signature voice of roots reggae and gave him the nickname Yabby You heard in the song’s now iconic introduction, “Be-you, Yabby-Yabby-you”. Many of the hits that followed are included on this one-of-a-kind collection, classics like “Run Come Rally”, “Love Thy Neighbor” and “Warn The Nation”. Indeed, Yabby You followed in King Tubby’s footsteps, becoming a legendary producer himself, applying his unique sound to artists and musicians alike including Wayne Wade (“Fire Fire”), Dillinger (“Freshly”), Tommy McCook (Revenge”) and Trinity & Dillinger’s tribute “Jesus Dread”. Completing the album is Yabby You’s combination with Big Youth, “Yabby Youth”, which has Big Youth deejaying on top of the “Conquering Lion” track and brings us full circle.

Emotional and full of righteousness, Yabby You’s Legacy combines music and message and is as extraordinary today as when he first recorded “Conquering Lion” in 1972. On this special release, digitally re-mastered to capture his unique and unparalleled sound, the spirit of his music and message is made all the more powerful.

RoseGold Records, founded by Samantha ‘ZJ Rose’, Jamaica’s top radio deejay on ZIPFM, can add a top riddim set with the RoofTop Riddim to her accolades. Now available on iTunes and e-tailers everywhere, the Rooftop Riddim balances electrifying dancehall beats and catchy dance grooves for Jamaica’s top singers and deejays in a singular, get-up-and-dance style. Mavado, Beenie Man, Charlie Blacks, Stacious, Flippa Mafia and D’Angel all provide signature efforts.

Mavado doesn’t mince words on “House Top” yet his smooth delivery is of course nothing less than ‘cool and deadly’ while Beenie Man, the consummate singer, artist and performer, is on full display with “Under Curfew”. And “Turn Me On”, from young Charlie Blacks, shows why he has been responsible for energizing the Jamaican music scene of late. On the Rooftop, dancehall reggae’s fastest rising female artists, DJ Stacious and D’Angel, show what put them on top. Stacious says less gimmicks and more action on “Just Do It” while D’Angel, backed by a catchy and confident hook, is swagger-ific on “Come Over”. “Naah Lef Him Again”, by Flippa Mafia, aka ‘The Flossing King’, raises the energy and the swagger even further.

Bursting with Jamaican vibes as well as a magnetic dance floor appeal, The Rooftop Riddim is now burning the roof down day and night over the airwaves and in the dance. Get up on the rooftop today!

New soul roots single from Toussaint & I-Grade Records, "Be You", now on radio and 4/20 on iTunes

noreply@blogger.com (SOUL OF THE LION) — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:50:00 +0000

Brand new single from I Grade Records recording artist, Toussaint, is set to protect the soul and defend the roots. "Be You" is the first single from the upcoming album, Roots In A Modern Time.

Click here to watch the video

(April 5, 2010) With a husky tenor that is the epitome of soul and a unique ability to link soul with roots, hip hop gospel and blues, Toussaint's sound continues to live up to his nickname, The Liberator. While liberated from any boundaries of form or genre, Toussaint remains grounded in soul and roots music. And with an epic album from I Grade Records on tap, Toussaint is poised to break new ground worldwide. "Be You", the first single to be released from the forthcoming album, Roots In A Modern Time, is already taking roots and soul to another level. "Be You" will be available on iTunes on 4/20 (April 20) and the album drops this summer.

Toussaint has spent his entire life at the musical crossroads, always breaking new ground along the way. The son of a Baptist preacher and gospel singer, Toussaint nurtured his craft in the church at a young age before finding his own voice in the compelling lyrics and artistic independence of the hip-hop group Red Pill, the funk reggae oufit The China Band, the rock and soul of The Trama Unit, and most notably during the two years he spent as lead singer with legendary Stax Records and Blue Note recording group, Soulive.

Connecting with Virgin Islands-based I Grade Records-the label responsible for setting a new standard for roots reggae through critically acclaimed albums like Dezarie's "Fya", Niyorah's "Purification Session" and Midnite's "Assini"-puts both I Grade and Toussaint at the crossroads. Indeed, their upcoming abum, Roots In A Modern Time (set for a summer 2010 release) will be a defining moment for soul reggae and music fans everywhere.

WORLD PREMIER (MARCH 18-23) OF "HOW WE RIDE" BY ERUP STARTS IN JAMAICA AND CONTINUES WORLDWIDE

noreply@blogger.com (SOUL OF THE LION) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:58:00 +0000

Truckback Records is pleased to announce the World Premier of the new single by Erup, "How We Ride", a 'dancehall rock' follow up to the Billboard hit, "Click My Finger". Join us for the special premier on the dial or online Thursday March 18 to Monday March 22. ZJ Johnny Khool will be the first to "ride" as we go from Jamaica, London, Toronto, Tokyo, New York, Miami, San Francisco and back again.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE

"How We Ride" follows up on the Billboard charting song "Click Mi Finger" Erup recorded on Truckback's Gearbox Riddim which was a ground breaking project in its own right.

This time, Truckback is again breaking barriers as "How We Ride" takes a new turn for dancehall, and Jamaican music in general, with straight ahead rock guitar lines going toe to toe with Erup's signature laid back dancehall lyrics and Truckback's driving drum and bass. Reminiscent of the fuzz guitar FX from 70s psychedelic rock bands, "How We Ride" crosses time and musical genres to create a new sound for a new generation of music fans.

SARAH BRINDELL

Keyboardist and singer/songwriter Sarah Brindell has been cooed over from east coast (the “newly minted diva of pop, funk and jazz” – Boston Globe) to west (“simply mesmerizing” – Time Out San Francisco). Dreaming Shoes, her second studio release following Piece Of Mind and Live At The Paradise, which evolves out of soul, folk, pop and Brazilian, as well as Caribbean rhythms, is an inspired journey from beginning to one, well, you just won’t want to end.

CAMERON GREENLEE

Stepping out from behind his day job as keyboardist for the seminal Jamaican ska group, The Skatalites, Cameron Greenlee’s debut release in which he takes the role of bandleader, Cameron and the Trenton Street Collaborative, fuses wicked roots reggae with delightful jazz alongside funky guitar riffs, beautiful piano, Rastafarian percussive beats, and triumphant horns.

SHEA ROSE (Cambridge, MA show only)

Boston native Shea Rose has been described as the female Lenny Kravitz meets Lauryn Hill. Shea was recently nominated for a 2010 New England Urban Music Award in the R&B Female category after opening the event in 2009. Shea also opened the Berklee ‘Women in Rock’ concert at the Berkelee Peformance Center last fall and was featured on Berklee's Heavy Rotation Records' Dorm Sessions 6 CD. She recently collaborated with Cindy Blackman on a six-song EP.

SARAH BRINDELL’S SOULFUL ‘DREAMING SHOES’ (NAYA RECORDS) IS ECLECTIC AND ADVENTUROUS

noreply@blogger.com (SOUL OF THE LION) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:03:00 +0000

Don’t let the title fool you. Sarah Brindell’s sophomore studio album, Dreaming Shoes, is not an REM-inducing record. Dreaming Shoes about going places you have never been. Intimate and adventurous, the album is constantly growing, evolving out of soul, folk, pop and jazz and infused with critical elements of Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms. Packed with individual talent—Mauricio Zottarelli (Hiromi, Esperanza Spaulding), Yaure Muniz, (Buena Vista Social Club), Nate Edgar and Mike Keenan (John Brown’s Body) as well as Aaron Bellamy and Amy Bowls (Sam Kininger Band)—Dreaming Shoes maintains its cohesiveness throughout, refusing to lean in any one direction or on any one musician. Brindell, whose previous efforts have been cooed over from east coast (the “newly minted diva of funk, pop and jazz” – Boston Globe) to west (“simply mesmerizing” – Time Out San Francisco), says, “I approached Dreaming Shoes differently because I wanted the artists to play to the song, not for their own chops”. Dreaming Shoes is available March 1 everywhere online and the CD is available March 25.
