WATCH THIS: Courtney John “Lucky Man”
Tough throwback tune from the baddest falsetto since Junior Murvin. Courtney John’s giving us that vintage Sam Cooke flavor in this black and white video directed by Ras Tingle. Mr. John’s forthcoming Made In Jamaica album sounds like pure heat.
WATCH THIS: “Dub Echoes”
Half the story has never been dubbed. This DVD came out a couple years ago, but most of these newjacks still act like they don’t know. (See quote @1:30) Respect the architects.
HEAR THIS: Cherine Anderson “Talk If Yuh Talking”
Some singers have a voice; Cherine Anderson has a cannon. And pity the fool who ends up in her crosshairs. Like the poor sap who inspired her new tune, “Talk If Yuh Talking.” My condolences, dude.
