Orisha Sound's First Dancehall Single 'Embrace It' Featuring Sizzla Kolanji

"Working in Jamaica with Sizzla Kolanji gives me the freedom to express myself and take my music to higher heights" said Orisha Sound, International Pop artiste, Musician and Dancer in a February 13 publication of the Jamaica Gleaner  Orisha was first introduced to Jamaica's music industry when she recorded a single entitle 'Sunshine Lady' with local  artiste Wayne Daniels.  From the experience, Orisha commit to having locals recognize her singing, song-writing and multi-instrumentalist talents through  performance and appearances as well as create music with local artistes and producers. 

The U.S. based artiste of Slavic and Scandinavian ancestry, visited Jamaica December 2012 for a performance at the National Organisation of Deported Migrants (NODM), a charitable event that was held in the parish of Westmoreland. After her crowd pleasing performance, Orisha's next stop was the infamous city of Kingston. There, she met and recorded her first Dancehall collaboration titled 'Embrace it,' with one of the island's most notable international Reggae artiste Sizzla Kolanji before she left.  Two weeks later, she returned to shoot a video for the song which had been put in rotation across several local radio stations. 

Within days, the video was released on all local Television/cable channels.  She was invited to perform with Wayne Daniels at the Constant Spring Golf Club. Wayne introduced her during his set and as they sang their soothing 'Sunshine Lady' reggae ballad together, the audience erupted in appreciation. 'Sunshine Lady,' was also getting multiple spins on radio and Orisha was kept busy doing radio and cable/tv interviews.

Since Orisha's last visit to the island, rotation on both singles, 'Embrace It' and 'Sunshine Lady' have increased to six spins per day.  While daytime radio's buzz get going, so has the Jamaican night life scene.  The songs can be heard in clubs and blaring through speakers at weekly reggae/dancehall events that many music celebrities, media, corporate and music industry representatives attend.   With multiple events coming up this summer, Orisha look forward to performing on Reggae Sumfest, the island's most successful three (3) day festival.  Back home in Los Angeles, she is working toward the completion of a 15 track album slated for release June 30, on RBC Records label.  Two new videos for her remixed reggae version of singles, 'Make Me Moan' and 'Beautiful Sun' that have made the album is near completion and will be released in Jamaica. Both videos have been Directed by Vassel Casssius and Marvin William in Los Angeles, California.

Macka Diamond's 'Dye Dye' a Hit

Macka Diamond has changed position once again with her now trending 'Dye, Dye' track.  The sexually explicit street version has got many people talking, "Macka look like she find it" Dancehall/Reggae artiste Cecile tweeted. Macka Diamond is one of few artistes to find a popular, trending or hit song each year.  In 2011, the hard working Macka Diamond ruled summer with her popular 'Cow Foot' song that became a staple on the dance floor when Shelly Belly created the dance .  

The song held it's own until around Christmas after which Macka spent the rest of the year ignoring criticisms about her age or so it seemed.  2012, Macka threw shade at her detractors dropping what became another popular track called, 'Forty n Fabulous.' Now once again, she returns to the spotlight with her first popular song of 2013, 'Dye Dye' and according to her, "da one ya a heart attack." With only two months left for summer to begin, the money O Diva is about own the season, or is she?
