Date: 31 Aug 2007 04:26:01 –0000 From: We have added EIGHT new albums to our massive webstore in recent weeks including highly anticipated releases by Stitchie, Tiko and Solomon Jabby. Here are the details: Artist: Stitchie Album: Real Life Story Genre: Dancehall / Culture Label: Drum & Bass Music Price: $15.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: Stitchie, (formerly Lt. Stitchie) is a prolific artist who needs no introduction. From his impressive secular career to his Christian conversion and subsequent impact on the gospel reggae scene, this artist has proven time and again that his talent is dedicated to the Lord. With two other Gospel albums to his credit, he now brings forth what is unquestionably his best album to date. With 17 full-length songs and 3 interludes, "Real Life Story," is a complete mix of dancehall, gospel and roots reggae. Songs like "Lord Almighty," "Praise the Lord," "In Di Dancehall," "Mercy," and "Gangsta Life," prove that Stitchie hasn't lost his hardcore dancehall edge. These deejay cuts rise above the current crop of secular dancehall recordings with excellent production incorporating live instruments into the hardcore riddims. Two thick roots reggae songs, "Hold Di Faith," and "I Pray," are tremendously inspiring and two of the best tracks on the album! While portions of his previous two gospel albums may have been better received by the chu rch than the world and a bit too homogenized for the streets, this CD hits below the belt and holds no punches! On it you will find the former Lieutenant (and Governor) rediscovering his original signature dancehall style that made him so famous in the dancehall arena years ago. This time around he is sanctifying it for the Lord without compromising the integrity of his lyrics or sound. Stitchie's "Real Life Story" is unquestionably one of the best Gospel Reggae releases of 2007 and sure to garner many awards. Excellent production, lyrics, songwriting and delivery further solidify Stitchie's place at the forefront of gospel reggae. Every gospel reggae fan should pick up a copy of this album. Order yours today! Artist: Tiko Angelos Album: The Proclamation Genre: Dancehall / Ragga Hip Hop / Culture Label: Flow City Records Price: $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: Most GospelReggae.com fans probably recall first hearing Tiko in 2002 on Lion of Zion's "Royal Priesthood," as one half of the dancehall duo "Tiko & Gitta." Over the past five years these two artists have traversed separate paths and grown in their own unique styles. Since the split, there's no doubt you've heard Tiko Angelos on compilations such as "Double Trouble," and quot;Turn It Up Volume 1," but nothing could have prepared you for this full-length 15 track offering from one of Trinidad's brightest stars. On "The Proclamation," Produced by Sherwin Gardner, Tiko blends some hip-hop flavor into his rapid-fire dancehall style with excellent results. Songs like "Everything" featuring Genisa," "Identity," "Get a Life," and "Passion + Praise," are sure to blow your speakers, while the old school dancehall of "Wardrobe of Religion," and the rootsy hip-hop sound of "Living Water," keep the message strong. It's safe to say that Tiko Angelos has never sounded better. He is a brilliant lyricist with so much to say. For the greatest impact his lyrics deserve to be sifted through with a fine-toothed comb. Only then do you get the full impact of each song and truly appreciate his witty vernacular. On "The Proclamation," Tiko delivers an album that is both humoro us and entertaining while delivering sobering Scriptural truths over bangin' dancehall and raggamuffin hip-hop riddims. His debut solo album "The Proclamation," aptly showcases his message, vocals, and overall talent. This album is a surefire hit--grab your copy today! Artist: Solomon Jabby Album: Firmly Planted Genre: Roots Label: Altarsound Music Price: $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: For almost a decade, reggae artist Solomon Jabby has been studying and perfecting his craft of classic dub and roots reggae. With two full-length dub albums already to his credit, Solomon has earned a reputation in the worldwide dub and reggae communities as a crafty producer and one of the few modern reggae artists seeking to recapture the "old school" roots sound. On Solomon Jabby's third release, "Firmly Planted," he proves that traditional roots reggae production still has a place in the modern reggae sound-scape. "Firmly Planted," showcases Solomon's excellent songwriting abilities and commitment to the classic reggae sound. This, his first vocal album, pays homage to the golden days of Jamaican harmony groups with clear influences from such artists as The Wailing Souls, The Congos, and The Gladiators. Deep lyrical content permeate dense vocal h armonies, perfectly complementing Solomon's organic production techniques. Exceptional musicianship and superb arrangements make this album a full, well rounded work. "Firmly Planted," proves what a modern artist can achieve when he finds the balance between past and present. Solomon has successfully found a way to stay true to the 1970's reggae sound while simultaneously pushing the art of roots and dub to higher heights. His passion for roots reggae and his personal belief in Yeshua the Messiah, combine to give this album an authentic feel with a distinctively positive message. "Firmly Planted" urges it's listeners to examine the "soil" of their hearts. A heart that is receptive and open to Jesus' teaching, wisdom, and love will produce a bountiful harvest and they will be like a tree "firmly planted" by rivers of water, selah! Artist: Kristine Alicia Album: Get Ready Genre: Roots / Caribbean Praise / Dancehall / Gospel Label: Judah Scribe Music Price: $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: Ever wonder what would happen if you mixed Lauryn Hill with Chevelle Franklin and added in a healthy dose of live reggae instrumentation? Kristine Alicia answers that question with her debut release "Get Ready". The opening song, "Jehovah Jireh," starts the album on a high note with a driving steppers beat and huge, thick vocal delivery. Tracks two and three slow things down just enough to hear the full detail of Alicia's beautiful voice. Organic dancehall hypes up the energy with "Praise Dance," "One True Jah," and "All I Need." Other songs such as "Ask Me," and "Speak Lord," are truly beautiful songs with touching, heartfelt spiritual messages. Produced by the infamous Nigel Lewis, Kristine Alicia's "Get Ready" album is a rare treat--a mix of vocal talent, strong production, and songwriting that is truly hard to find. Every single Gospel Reggae fan should grab up this album without thinking twice! Artist: Various Artists Album: The Revelation Genre: Dancehall / Ragga Hip Hop / Hip Hop Label: One Rib Publica tions Price: $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: The Bahamas has a thriving Gospel Reggae scene and "The Revelation," is a great example of the tremendous talent that this beautiful set of islands generates. With most of the production coming from the Lion of Judah camp, "The Revelation," mixes dancehall, roots reggae, and hip-hop with a straight up Gospel message... a message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ! The LOG Rap Squad kick off the album with "Eyes Ain't Seen," a hyped up Southern hip-hop song with a big chanting chorus. Manifest keeps the hip-hop energy alive with "We Back," a perfect mix of a bangin' beat and intense delivery. Of course dancehall is fully represented with DJ Counselor's "Praise Him," and Mr Lynx's "Prepare for th e Revelation." Avalanchee also blazes a spiritual fire over a unique rendition of the Gang War Riddim with their song "No White Flags." Monty G represents for the roots fans with "Times," and the lesser known Ricardo Clark keeps things cool and sweet with his song "Last Days." Also worth mentioning is the R&B crossover track "All We Need is Love," by N Ken. This beautiful track is sure to inspire you. "The Revelation," is definitely recommended and should please those Gospel Reggae fans who appreciate a mix of dancehall, roots, and hip-hop. Pick up your copy today! Artist: Lynette White Album: New Life New Song Genre: Roots Label: Anusong Ministries Price: $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: On her sophomore recording, "New Life, New Song," Lynette White delivers another beautiful work of praise and satisfies the hunger of fans left by the wake of her first 8 song EP. Utilizing her mind-blowing vocal ability, Lynette traverses from smooth roots reggae to hard-hitting dancehall to tender Caribbean praise. Every roots reggae fan is sure to love "Worthy of Praise," "How Great Thou Art," "Atmosphere," and "Eres Mi Respirar." Dancehall aficionados should definitely check out "I Lift My Hands," "Blessed Assurance - Emancipation Mix," and "Goodness of Jesus," where Lynette even gives Chevelle Franklyn a run for her money! For lovers of Caribbean praise and worship, this album is a special treat, with songs like "Wherever You Go," "Change," and "Walk of Faith." Produced by Kelda "Timeless" Sweeting in the Bahamas, "New Life, New Song," is the first full-length album by this multidimensional artist. This is gospel reggae at its highest quality! Be sure to purchase your copy today! Artist: Shadrach Album: Stand Firm Genre: Dancehall / Ragga Hip Hop / Culture Label: Righteous Corner Ltd Price: $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: A couple years ago, Shadrach's debut album "Ashes to Ashes," became a GospelReggae.com best seller. Now, on his sophomore release, Shadrach keeps his momentum going with an excellent new project. With "Stand Firm," Shadrach stays true to his hardcore dancehall roots (in a style similar to Spragga Benz) while also mixing in roots reggae and traces of hip-hop. Kicking off the record is the title track, an energetic pepper-seed style dancehall tune with a clear message--Stand Firm! Track 2, "Celebrate," lifts the energy even more as Shadrach chats hardc ore Christian lyrics over a rumbling dancehall riddim. The dancehall energy doesn't stop as songs such as "Face The Truth," "No Longer," "Thief In The Night," and "Born Again Part II," keep the pace with militant lyrics over heavy bass and bangin' riddims. In contrast, songs such as "Marriage," "Jesus Christ," "Salvation," and "Bless Him," provide perfect roots backdrops for Shadrach's thick vocal delivery and conscious Christian lyrics. Surprisingly, Shadrach's incredible talent shines through equally well on roots reggae and dancehall reggae tunes alike. It's no wonder that this U.K. gospel reggae ambassador is blowing up all over the world! This album is easily the strongest release in recent memory here at GospelReggae.com and is recommended for every Gospel reggae fan! Artist: Various Artists Album: Dancehall Outta Belize Genre: Dancehall Label: New Beginnings Productions Price: $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: Though Belizean reggae artists haven't had a huge presence on GospelReggae.com, the Belizean reggae scene has been steadily growing with a host of talented artists and producers on the rise. On "Dancehall Outta Belize," GospelReggae.com fans are able to get a goo d feel for this exciting scene. Though this compilation is mainly composed of dancehall tracks, there is a small roots presence on the album with songs such as "No More Gods" by Spiritual Chef. Over a strong bass line and smooth one-drop riddim, Spiritual Chef sings in a culture/sing-jay style about his dedication to Christ. Track 8, "Fill This Vessel," by the well-known D-Revelation is another strong roots track with a lush, uplifting, chorus. The dancehall that dominates this album can definitely stand up to the dancehall from other Caribbean countries with artists such as Mikal, Jacob Diggz, and Lady Indie flexing their talents on songs such as "Been There Done That," "Tell Them No," and "You And I." One this is certain about this release: every featured artist has a strong desire to serve Christ and use their talents to the fullest. This release should definitely satisfy dancehall fans and even some roots fans too!

Simply click on this link to purchase: http://cdbaby.com/cd/jstonereggae3 Washington, DC (August 24th, 2007) Artfully produced, beautifully lyrical and thoroughly original, Innocent Children represents a cohesive blend of five personal perspectives on reggae, enlivened and emboldened by rock, gospel, R and jazz influences which reflect a lifetime of admiration and study of music. Innocent Children is simultaneously an authentic throwback to the 1970's - replete with hammond B3 sounds, wah-wah guitar, funk influenced drumming - as well as a fresh and innovative approach to ! modern roots reggae music, with unique song structures, melodic hooks and song writing savvy. To help create a strong roots reggae base, JohnStone recruited Jalani Horton (Mt. Nebo Records, Bambu Station) to record Innocent Children. As with their previous record Eyes Open, JohnStone tapped legendary engineer Jim Fox (Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, Israel Vibration, Eek-a-Mouse) to lend his considerable mixing and dubbing talents. The title track Innocent Children was first conceptualized and written by drummer/singer Alfred Adams in February of 2004, while reading reports on the coup d'etat in Haiti. Musically, Innocent Children is a throwback to the late 70's reggae sound, while lyrically the song is a powerful indictment against the use of child soldiers. Other songs on Innocent Children range from straight ahead, inspirational anthems such as Peace and Love and Harm! ony to the moody, early 60's Coltrane influenced opus Black Spirit Swells, which shows off Benjamin Crandall's tenor sax chops and bassist Brendan DeMelle's melodic bass playing. One of the album's highlights, Black Spirit Swells (A. White) is inspired by and dedicated to the life of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The song also references the plight of African peoples who were enslaved in the new world, and their constant hope for a better human existence in the face of desperate and sub-human conditions. A tribute to Jamaican singers who have fought for equality and justice through their art, Clinton's Lament represents lead singer Andre White at his lyrical best. On Trod Your Own, Alfred Adams and keyboardist Joseph Manekin have composed a powerful, funky tune that preaches persistence and independence in pursuit of one's goals. Innocent Children represents the distillation of years of togetherness as a band, drawing from the musical diversity of an incredibly div! erse group of musicians. It is an album with plenty of immediate appeal, though its musical complexity and lyrical provenance should provide listening pleasure for some time to come. JohnStone has supported international acts such as Burning Spear (Winston Rodney),Toots and the Maytals, The Itals, Third World, The Meditations and Yellowman etc. and have been nominated in successive years to the Washington Area Music Awards (WAMA) and the D.C. Annual Reggae Music Awards. Innocent Children is available at: http://www.CDBABY.COM, ITUNES music store, http://www.johnstonemusic.com , as well as local and online retailers.

Dave Wakeling and The English Beat also Eek-A-Mouse will be performing on Saturday, September 1 at the Truckee Reggae Festival at the Truckee Regional Park Amphitheater in Truckee, CA. Dave Wakeling is a hell of a nice guy! Dave loves to tell you the stories behind his songs, either from stage or after the show. Ask any one of the thousands of fans who have met him over the years and that's what you'll hear. Never mind that Dave is the singer/songwriter from two of the most popular bands of the end of the millennium, The English Beat and General Public, he's a stand up man from Brum. Whether it's the personal as political in "How Can You Stand There", making politics personal in "Stand Down Margaret", taking a stand against global warming as he did with Greenpeace's "Alternative NRG", or helping little kids stand up proudly with "Smile Train", Dave has always stood for something. Like the mighty Redwoods of his adopted home of California, it's been easy for Dave to take a stand because of his strong roots. Hailing from working-class Birmingham, England, Dave and The English Beat entered the music scene in the 1979. When The English Beat rushed on to the music scene in 1979, it was a time of social, political and musical upheaval. Into this storm came they came, trying to calm the waters with their simple message of love and unity set to a great dance beat. The band managed to fuse all of their respective musical influences - soul, reggae, pop and punk - into a unique sound that was highly danceable. Along with contemporaries such as The Specials, The Selecter and Madness, The English Beat became one of the most popular and influential bands of the British Ska movement. EEK-A-MOUSE Outrageous, bizarre, and uniquely original, few DeeJays have made as much of a splash in the dancehall scene as Eek-A-Mouse. Standing at 6'6" above sea-level, Eek-A-Mouse has a commanding presence one cannot ignore. He's an artist who has created a style all his own, utilizing reggae, rock and hip hop rhythms to complement his sometimes humorous and sometimes very poignant lyrics. Eek-A-Mouse is the originator and finest exponent of that particular form of reggae which has become known as "sing-jay" where singing and DeeJaying(rapping) work in and out through a song. Born Ripton Hylton, Eek-A-Mouse grew up in Trench Town, which he calls 'the first-class ghetto' of Kingston, Jamaica. His strange moniker is reflection of his sense of humor and ability to laugh at himself and the world. A fan of horseracing, he consistently lost money on a horse named "Eek-A-Mouse". He finally gave up betting on the horse, which then promptly won! The name stuck when in 1979, the Mouse decided to make music his full time career. Now living "The American Dream," Eek-A-Mouse has embraced the world of hip hop, rock and dancehall Reggae in his most experimental release to date, "Mouse Gone Wild." Mouse says, "This is me. All my emotions, feelings and perspective on life and the world as I see it. I¹m ready to get my freak on, so hold on tight, it's gonna be an amazing ride." $25 advance tickets are available at www.renegadeshows.com, tickets.com and www.jambasetickets.com, or at the following outlets: Joby's, New Moon Natural Foods, Alice's Mountain Market, Tahoe Hemp, Mad About Music, Recycled Records or by calling Renegade Productions at 530-583-2801.
