“Queen”, Nadine Sutherland’s birthday present
“I can’t believe I’m going to be … no, I believe it, I’m 54”, singer Nadine Sutherland squealed in a phone call interview with The Gleaner. She wanted to treat herself to the track “Queen” for her birthday, and now it is done. The project, which is her first executive produced record, debuted on March 25.
“It’s a song I poured everything in, financially, emotionally, everything, so that’s my birthday gift to myself”, she said. “The song is about women who have gone through the wringer to be successful, who have been hit down and rise back up, and through it all you are a queen. It was actually written with Marcia Griffiths as she wanted to do a duet with me. She got busy, but I had the song, and the song was like, you’re not gonna put me down… women need to hear this”, she continued.
Christopher Martin is thinking about “Trust”
Reggae and dancehall star Christopher Martin clearly explain the reasons why he has trust issues in his new track “Trust” produced by Cheeny Big Son Music
Appealing to listeners and especially his fans, Christopher sings “trust is something you can’t give to everybody (…)”.
According to the artist, trust “is important because it is something lacking in this generation, minds are very frivolous and easily swayed. The song brings across the point that when you do find people you can trust you have to keep them close at all times and let them know they are close to you. Loyalty is not cheap. I am happy the topic is hitting home”.
