BUSY SIGNAL'S ANTICIPATED ALBUM REGGAE MUSIC AGAIN

RELEASED DIGITALLY AND IN STORES IN THE CARIBBEAN ON APRIL 10

Available In Stores on April 24 in United States




Due to the overwhelming response from fans and industry alike, Busy Signal's benchmark album Reggae Music Again will be available digitally and in stores throughout the Caribbean on April 10. The U.S. in-store release date remains on April 24. This forthcoming album on VP Records shows the dancehall artist in a new light as he pays homage to his roots with a full set of traditional reggae songs.




Better known for his sharp-spitting rhymes on hardcore dancehall hits like "Tic Toc" (remixed by M.I.A. and Rye Rye) and "Wine Pon De Edge," Busy Signal emerges as a charismatic roots reggae artist. The intricate, multi-layered one-drop rhythms heard on Reggae Music Again were created by some of Jamaica's most acclaimed musicians (Kirk Bennette, Aeion Hoilette, Lamont Savory, Kevon Webster, Robbie Lyn and Dean Fraser), and recorded live at Kingston's legendary Tuff Gong studios.




Even though this is a stark departure from the sequenced beats that have dominated most of Busy's previous material, it is not the first time fans will embrace his singing. In 2011, Busy covered the classic country song "The Gambler," originally sung by Kenny Rogers for the Reggae's Gone Country compilation, and his ballad-like renditions of the 1985 Commodores' hit "Night Shift" and Phil Collin's "One More Night" off his last album D.O.B. were well-received and showed his versatility as an artist. All these songs were catalysts and motivation for his traditional approach heard on Reggae Music Again.




"Being a Jamaican, I feel like it is my duty to highlight and contribute to reggae music, and with the encouragement of my management and musicians who played on this record, it all came together," states Busy. "This album is like a renaissance for me, a rebirth - reggae style," he adds.




In addition to the full-length album, VP Records will release a vinyl companion piece, entitled REGGAE Music Dubb'n Again, available April 17, special for Record Store Day on April 21. The exclusive LP will feature extended dub mixes for six of the album's songs, which are all mixed and engineered by Shane Brown and his legendary father Errol Brown.

  Movies expose us to the most violence and some of the most popular curse words, yet no one had ever been arrested or fine for this even though I don't think anyone should be because democracy give us the freedom of speech and also the right to listen to what we want to the last time I check.

  I also think Jamaica was among the democratic countries too and that is why I find it difficult to understand why is it our entertainers are being fined and arrested for using curse words which are also used by policeman and woman which uses the same words themselves, violently to civilians all the time.

  

Our dancehall artistes are getting  paid to please there fans like any other entertainer including actors so if the event is being attended by fans who or grown adults and absolutely has no problem with them cursing I don't think it should matter to anyone else.

I am pretty sure the government of Jamaica has more important matters to address  than to send a group officers to listen for curse words and antagonize our entertainers who bring so many revenue to the country yearly.

 "Nicki Minaj Was Fined For Using Explicit At Sumfest" can someone give me a word to express how stupid  this article looks. If you are wondering if this is true, yes she was fined Jamaican $1000  at the Sumfest 2011 for using explicit. She didn't run inside a church and yelled a curse word in the middle of the service this was at "Sumfest" oneof the biggest Reggae Festival in the world

 I hope the relevant authority may look over this ridiculous law because this is not helping our entertainment industry it is more likely destroying our country.
