SINGER/MUSICIAN JahDore kicks off his 2015 campaign with Fake People, a song produced by JDMP Records.
He hopes it will get him back into the spotlight after success a few years ago with the single This Love is Over.
He recently spoke about the inspiration for Fake People.
“After losing the files for an album that I was working on, I tried to get help from persons who claimed that they were my friends. I didn’t get support from any of them and that’s when I realised that people are not necessarily who they appear to be,” he said.
To help promote the song, a video will be produced and released in February.
As for the incomplete album, JahDore plans to revive the project with new producers and management led by JDMP Records. He is confident they can take his career to the next level.
“I’ve just compiled a 14-track CD with some songs that the fans are familiar with and some new ones as well, and I’m looking forward to working with some good producers,” he said.
JahDore made his debut as a vocalist in 2011 with This Love is Over. He followed up with Security Work and Hello Girl.
Born Sean McDonald, he is originally from Ebony Vale in Spanish Town and attended the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts.
Most of his early days in the music industry were spent touring Europe and the United States with Jimmy Cliff and Luciano as a saxophonist and keyboardist.
One ‘Kool’ combination
DANCEHALL artiste Mr Kool collaborates with singjay Sean Sonic on the track Pawty. It was produced by So Serious Records.
“Is basically a party song. It’s full of energy and vibes. I appreciate the support that it has been getting from underground DJs in the US,” Mr Kool told Splash.
To promote the song, a video was recently filmed in Manchester. It was directed by the London-based LJ Logan Productions, which has done videos for a number of dancehall acts including Beenie Man.
Born Damean Carter, Mr Kool is known for songs like Voom Voom, Dry Flask and Bar Sheller which were produced by Insight Records.
The Yuletide season saw him performing at GT Taylor’s Christmas Extravaganza and Sting.
His upcoming dates are in Manchester: Short Shorts Affair on January 23 and Wadup Birthday Bash in Windsor on January 31.
Barbee goes solo on Just Like That
BARBEE, known in dancehall circles for the hits Give it Up (featuring Beenie Man) and Missing You (with Junior Kelly), has her sights set on a solo hit with Just Like That.
Released late last year, it is produced by Rock City aka Planet 6, known for his work with big-name acts such as Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Rowland.
Barbee is currently in the United Kingdom promoting the single.
