12-05 | promo cd review: shuga - jamaica's next female rising star

Shuga (JAM)
We are very surprised by the young, talented and beautifull Shuga. This girl knows her way on the Riddims and her star is rising! Allthough she's new to us she all ready made name for herself inna Jamdown, Now she is taking over Europe. Off Course we can find Shuga's 'Give my soul to Jah' in this week's top 10 Reggae Charts. She has the power of Queen Ifrica but can easily sing a beautifull ballad like Etana. These skills in combination with her powerfull messages are making her an artist with big potential! She allready did some shows alongside the Rootsriders and their Tribute 2 Bob Marley-tour and now she is still in our likkle country so keep an eye out in our agenda for some Shuga ... !! For now she will perform at ReggaeYard in Zwolle on the 24th of May. On the 25th of May they will host their own party called 'Wildvuur' feat Kenny B, Mitchell Brunings, Lucky Luck, Hind Hakki and Shuga herself. The party will be at Epic in Tilburg.
Promotional CD Review:
The Promo CD starts with the great tune (ready fi go) 'Bun dem down' and immediately it is clear to us. This is not your average reggae artiste. This girl has some skills and this powerfull tune sets the mood for the rest of the album. Shuga's sweet HIT tune 'Give my soul to Jah' is up next. The message is clear... Nah sell out yuh soul!! A sweet riddim is used for this ya one, a perfect combo with her soulfull singing voice. Ebony was a special tune for Black liberation. She got some worldwide credits for this tune! A girl without her past is like a tree without it's roots. Shuga is proud of her African Roots and she is telling anybody who wanna hear it. Some nice horns are played on these tunes as well (something every reggae track 'needs' as far as were concerned)
Unknown voices is played in an sweet old skool rub-a-dub style, some real nice basslines included in this tune. Shuga is warning the youths dem to have safe sex or take their responsibility when they don't. A good initiative, unsafe sex remains a major issue in some parts of the world. Up next is Ride di Riddim again played upon an old skool rub-a-dub riddim. Shuga singing about the small chances for female singers in the business. A woman's work is never done and Shuga is gonna work untill better a come. Bedroom punisher has a great flow and this tune keeps on going and will get the massive to dance fi sure! 9.58 became a riddim song for artists like Busy Signal, Exco Levi, Berres Hammond, Romain Virgo and many other artists. Tell mi a lie is a lovers song on a fine riddim. Said i love you takes you away. A sweet uptempo riddim on the right moment for this album. Shuga proves she has a great voice on all tunes of this album. Love so good is a combo tune with Bling dawg. He brings a powerfull uptempo addition to this tune. Wet dreams seems a little vulgair at first, but this tune is about missing her man and Shuga saving her heart for him and linking in their dreams. Complicated Love completes a fine promotional CD and proves Shuga's sweet singing voice one more time.
