shawna on UK tour
Dancehall star Ishawna was a huge hit in the UK over the weekend, when she delivered brilliant performances in Birmingham, Manchester and London.
“I really enjoyed performing for my fans in the UK, their energy was amazing!” Ishawna said.
She headlined the Good Book Tour with Demarco and Potential Kid.
Ishawna’s first show was on Saturday night in Manchester, where she rocked a club full of screaming females fans. Later that night, she travelled to Tower Ballroom in Birmingham where a jam-packed venue of cheering fans waited.
Ishawna wowed the crowd with her number one hit singles, Need Love and Restraining Order. A memorable part of her performance was when she left the stage and descended into the crowd and a bevy of women swarmed her as they sang Restraining Order, word for word. It was like a sorority party in a college dorm.
“The girls loved it, they danced with me. I love my fans in the UK, especially my female fans, they were so warm, they were really excited to see me, and we partied up a storm,” she said.
She also performed Cry Baby, Loyal, Domesticated, Kiss Kitty K and Everybody Aguh Know.
On Sunday night, she climaxed her UK tour with a sexually charged performance at The Coronet in London.
Ishawna is anticipating a very busy and successful 2015. She is currently putting the finishing touches on her cosmetic line Legendary by Ishawna. And she is also in the process of recording her debut album. She just released two new singles titled Cheerful Giver on ZJ Liquid’s ‘Fix Up’ rhythm, and Vroom Vroom on the ‘Cute Bubble’ rhythm produced by Suku Ward.
Ziggy Marley wins Grammy
ZIGGY Marley’s concept album, Fly Rasta, took home the Best Reggae Grammy at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, yesterday.
The 10-track album, released on April 15, got the nod over SOJA’s Amid the Noise; Sly & Robbie featuring Spicy Chocolate (The Reggae Power); Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry (Back on The Controls); Sean Paul (Full Frequency); and Shaggy (Out of Many, One Music).
The win makes it number three for Bob Marley’s eldest child as a solo artiste. The 46-year-old’s first solo Grammy came in 2007 for Love is My Religion, while his second came last year with In Concert.
He also won three Best Reggae Album Grammys with the Melody Makers, a group that included his brother Stephen and sisters Sharon and Cedella. In 2010, he picked up another for Best Musical Album for Children with Family Time.
Co-produced by Dave Cooley, who is known for his work with independent rock bands, Fly Rasta fuses reggae with rock, soul, funk and punk. For the set, Marley reassembled his sisters, Sharon and Cedella, to provide background vocals.
“The Melody Makers have a sound. They added a whole lot to it. It was nice having them,” Marley told the Jamaica Observer in an interview ahead of the album’s release.
“Is a concept album. I took the arrangement seriously and had to educate myself, as I wanted emotions in the music. It is not linear, it has hills and valleys … a melodic arc,” he continued.
The album’s title track features pioneer toaster U-Roy. Marley lists it as one of his favourites.
“Working with U-Roy is one of the greatest thing in my career. The man is a legend beyond legends. It was a privilege,” he said.
Fly Rasta sold over 16,000 copies. But Marley said he was not concerned about sales.
“Mi nuh watch sales. Good music, a good music. Our music is spiritual and God music. So, if it come, it come,” he said.
