Queens, NY-based reggae label VP Records has announced the forthcoming release of JACKSON LOVERS: A Reggae Tribute to the Late King of Pop http://vprecords.blogspot.com/2009/09/jackson-lovers-reggae-tribute-to-late.html
The Michael Jackson tribute album features reggae covers of Jackson’s top songs, including Human Nature by Tarrus Riley, You Are Not Alone by Duane Stephenson, Thriller by Singing Melody, The Girl is Mine by Lukie D and Tony Curtis and Never Can Say Goodbye, which was recorded by the late Dennis Brown back in the 90s.

The 12-track album is scheduled for release on October 6, 2009. Tarrus Riley’s Human Nature cover was included on his recent Contagious album http://www.dubandreggae.com/560/tarrus-riley-contagious-album.html and is already popular in Jamaica.

Tito Jackson performed at the 2009 Reggae Sumfest http://www.dubandreggae.com/446/reggae-sumfest-2009.html show, which was dedicated to Michael Jackson’s memory http://www.dubandreggae.com/493/reggae-sumfest-2009-dedicated-to-michael-jackson.html

SOPHIA BROWN NABS FIRST #1 SINGLE
After several close encounter on reggae singles and album Charts locally the sexy and sophisticated singer / songwriter Sophia Brown is this week celebrating her very first # 1 ranking having topped the FIWI Choice Top 20 local Charts.

Brown who occupied the # 2 spot behind the fast rising singjay I Octane, says she had been watching the charts closely in anticipation of a possible move. "I'm truly grateful to all of those who support me by voting for my song "Weak To You". I really feel blessed to finally get a # 1 and it just goes to show that hard work and commitment will take you to the top no matter what, yes i've gotten in the Top Ten before but this one is really special, its the icing on the cake".

Brown who is the C.E.O of Music Mecka Records a label she formed earlier in her career also noted that her achievements to date was not attributed to one single individual but that of her team who continues to represent her through thick and thin. "I have a solid team that has brought me from where I was to where I currently am, persons like Syl Gordon of Cell Block Music Group, Errol Smith, my Publicists Chris Campbell & Claude Mills and a special thanks to Tony Gold who assisted me in studios while I was working on my album The Spotlight".

The FIWI Choice Top 20 Charts which allows the public to cast votes for their favorite Dancehall / Reggae singles can be regarded as the true test of an artists fan base as voters are not limited to a single vote. Much like the popular TV show Rising Stars the public has total control over the outcome.

QUESTION FOR GRAMPS OF MORGAN HERITAGE BY RAS ARTHUR
-    So how are things, you are working on a new album in the studio called “Wash the Tears”.
-    Gramps: “Wash the Tears” is the new single, we are getting into the studio and getting going on the album.
-    What has been your motivation in doing a solo album aside from your work with Morgan Heritage?
-    Gramps: Just to create.
-    You come from a family of many brother & sisters who are also international recording artists like your father Denroy, how would you say you were influenced and brought up to develop these skills?
-    Gramps: my father was a singer & musician and was our first influence, from there we studied music. Also growing up in Springfield, MA and Brooklyn ,NY what was hot on the radio was a big influence back then.
-    Coming from a large family what were some of the benefits and positives? Nowadays people are discouraged to have large families, the system and media often paint them as poor, uneducated, oppressed women unaware of birth control. Can you give us your first hand perspective from your experience in a large family.
-    Gramps: we are an example of the positive, my father had lots of kids but none of them ended up in jail and all had a safe birth and passage into this earth, give thanks. Men have to take charge of their lives when they have children and be responsible.
-    You grew up in Brooklyn but JA has had an obvious influence, can you give us your perspective on these influences.
-    Gramps: growing up in the states all the different types of music had an influence on us, and we would never stop learning. We always had reggae of course, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Steel Pulse, more recently Sizzla and Capleton.
-    What are some of the themes you feel are most important to write and sing about nowadays.
-    Gramps: Life. Life is ever changing, what is going on with the children, with society. Just life, a song is a story, some stories are like a movie and sometimes are just stories and not necessarily testimonials or your own testimony every time. Not every song is about just your own experience.
-    How do you feel reggae artists can help social progress initiatives like reducing crime & violence, gangs, unemployment, hunger, illiteracy etc.
-    Gramps: Not just reggae artists but all artists need to shine a light and be an example. Nobody is perfect, only Christ, and not everyone is a role model but we need to shine a light for the youths. Some artists talk about guns, sex and such, but we artists try to shine a positive light.
-    Who are some of your fellow artists, both past and present you admire most?
-    Gramps: Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Bob Marley & The Wailers, and Danny Hathaway.
-    What advice would you have for young artist trying to secure a career in the reggae recording and performing industry, especially if they are not based in JA, NYC , London or Miami where the major labels like VP, JetStar & Greensleeve  are based.
-    Gramps: Try and get some experience in JA, come test the culture and feel the roots to get some exposure. This can be a big influence.
-    How has Rastafari and Haile Sellassie I influenced your music on a personal and professional level?
-    Gramps: His Majesty inspires I&I with livity and prophecy and reminds us we are kings and queens. Because of slavery much of that sense has been lost, so in His Majesty we see our true person and true purpose, because he has made prophecy fulfill.
-    You and Morgan Heritage sometimes play festivals with rock & punk bands that are not typical of reggae fests, is this a mindful attempt at reaching beyond the normal mass who already knows reggae, avoiding the preaching to the converted syndrome.
-    Gramps:  What happened with Morgan Heritage was some of the managers from these rock bands saw and liked our show and wanted us on their tour, so we toured with Lenny Kravitz, Good Charlotte and other rock bands. Our form of music has a rock edge, it was a way to express our form of music and expose it to more people.
-    What is your take on the spreading of Rastafari to not so traditional places like Europe, South America and Asia.
-    Gramps: Rastafari culture is everywhere, Africa, Europe, Japan, everywhere I have been except China I’ve seen Rasta culture, and I’m sure it is starting there too.
-    Speaking of global vibes, many people are excited over the inauguration of Barak Obama today, how do you feel on this occasion?
-    Gramps: Great moment in time, a moment in history. From the hard work of Martin Luther King, even if he didn’t prophesize this, it has happened. A joy to witness and I’m glad I am here to see it.
-    Also on the question of global vibes, how has music on the internet transformed thing for you. Do you feel it is fair to the artist if songs are played on internet or dj mix cds without always an immediate financial reward to the artists if this helps promote their album or tour?
-    Gramps:  It’s a great thing, mix tapes and radio shows, it is a joy the Most High has provided these means to get the music out, so give thanks.
-    What are you impressions of the annual reggae fest here in Montreal? Any parting words for the fans in Montreal.
-    Always a joy, just the setting on the water is beautiful. We will be there again soon, we hope it stays strong for the years to come even with the tough economic times, it is a great way for promoting and sharing the music.

JACK RADICS : : SOUL WIND
Another breath taking album "Soul Wind" by Jack Radics Released By: X terminator, Jamaica. This is another amazing album, but one is to expect this from One of Jamaica's Most unique and Prominent Vocalist.  Jacks' irresistible stage performance and voice quickly and firmly established his reputation, repeatedly as one of the greatest entertainers.  In Jamaica, Jack Radics belongs at the spearhead of these artists who control all variants of the genre and have reached in their profession more or less everything one can achieve."Soul Wind" speak for itself.

J-ROSS PARRELLI : : Lov'n Mak'n Music
Compare a voice as sultry as Christina Aguilara with an emcee as lyrical as Method man, with a mentors like KRS-ONE (Stop the Violence Movement) and freestyle champion, Supernatural, (Guiness Book of World Records and Rock the Bells), one can understand where emcee/soul singer J-ROSS.PARRELLI  gets her talents.

“I grew up watching J5, listening to Tina Turner, Cher and Bob Marley. With four brothers deep, we would fight over who was going to be Michael”. With a recent tour through Russia and the west coast promoting her debut album “Lov’n Mak’n Music”, and a previous tour through the west coast of Africa, J ROSS-PARRELLI is crossing charts to the top. www.msparrelli.com
