    Shaggy ft. Chronixx - Bridges (2015)

    Lyrics

    (Chorus)
    A bet you wish you never burn that bridge
    Oh no cause now your like the crosses

    I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
    Oh no cause now your like the crosses

    I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
    Oh no cause now you like the crosses

    I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
    Oh no cause now your like the crosses

    (Verse 1)
    Climbing up the ladder you better watch your steps
    Watch how you a flex and watch the moves you meck
    Careful of the people you disrespect
    Dem wi rosicrucian man nah tek no check
    Cause when you coming down they might not wanna treat you right
    And when you coming down that’s when you gonna get the fight
    And now your wishing that you were a little more polite
    And now the table turn and everything a come to light

    (Repeat Chorus)

    (Verse 2)
    It’s no coincident the people you meet
    You haffi careful how you move in the street
    The same man you pass when you going up
    When you coming down, him a laugh and a grin him teeth
    Grandma say today for you, tomorrow for me
    That’s when you have to face your real sorrows for real
    I know you wish you never burn your bridges
    But who cyaa hear haffi feel
    A cyaa believe yo burn it, yo burn it, a weh you a go walk
    When you haffi cross the river in a dark
    You burn it, you burn all your bridges in the pass
    Now your future lead you to the same path

    (Repeat Chorus)

  • Sentinel Sound Testimonial for Reggae.Today

     

  • SENTINEL SOUND JAMAICA TOUR VIDEO 2014

    A few months ago, Bass Odyssey, one of the greatest soundsystems on this planet, celebrated their 25th anniversary, in Jamaica.

    Being known as a hardcore sound from day one, the settings for the event had to be appropriate.
    Therefor the dance was promoted as the first SOUNDSYSTEM-FESTIVAL in Jamaica, in order to celebrate the soundsystem culture as a whole.

    SENTINEL & Bass Odyssey organized a little tour around this legendary event. Together we played 3 crazy and wicked shows in Jamaica before we stepped on the anniversary stage


     

    Three physical soundsystems strung up in Richmond, Priory, St. Ann:
    Bass Odyssey, Killamanjaro and Stone Love
    The line-up was completed by Metromedia, Renaissance and SENTINEL.


    It was a great pleasure and honour for the Everlasting Sound to be picked for representing Europe on this event, which was the first of its kind, in Jamaica.
    Once six high caliber soundsystems play in one lawn, people expect hardcore entertainment.
    Not surprisingly, that's exactly what they got.
    Because all of the sounds, featured on the line-up, belong to the best in this world, the german sound had to make sure, that they play extraordinary, in order to convince the jamaican crowd of their skills.
    And, without any doubt, they did.
    At the end of the night, common sense was, that the German Luger has just done the place.
    Even the legendary selectors in the dance, like Ricky Trooper, Freddie Krueger, Skyjuice and Geefus, gave SENTINEL their props for their performance.
    Last but not least SENTINEL would like to give thanks to the whole Bass Odyssey Family for their trust and salutes them on the next 25 years to come.

  • Romain Virgo - Lifted (VP Records 2015)

    Check out the brand new EP "Lifted" from Romain Virgo which debuted at the number three position behind Bob Marley on the iTunes reggae chart.

    The 25-year-old Jamaican singer-songwriter Romain Virgo returns with a brand new EP Lifted on VP Records. Virgo unveils hope behind darkness on this concsious 8-song set filled with social commentary.

    He holds strong with "God Inna Mi Corner" and weeds out fake friends on "Fade Away" featuring dancehall artist Assassin. While showcasing his dee-jay skills on the EDM-tinged reggae track "Badder Man," he reveals the gripping realities of a rudeboy and opts for a different way of life. "I don't mix up with da criminal dem, me a gwan stick to mi gal dem. I don't care who a buss this, who a buss that, me don't want no strap," as he sings in the song's closing lyrics.

    To pay homage to his ladies, Virgo then offers a few ballads on his EP - including his latest romancer "Stars Across The Sky," his Sam Smith cover of "Stay With Me" (which recieved over 2.4 mil YouTube views for its accompanying visual) and " Soul Provider" (racking in nearly 4 mil YouTube video views). This will give listeners a feel of his 2016 album entitled Love Sick (VP Records), which is a heartfelt collection mostly comprised of love songs.

    Lifted follows his critically acclaimed 2012 album The System, which was described as "striking" (Washington Post), "high-quality" (BBC) and "smooth and engaging" (New York Times). Billboard also proclaimed he has "empowering messages over misogynistic and violent lyrics, intricately textured one-drop rhythms instead of frenetic digital beats" and he has "found an appreciative, multi-generational audience."

  • Richie Stephens & the Ska Nation Band - Internationally (Pot Of Gold & Adriatic Sound 2016)

    Richie Stephens has announced his collaboration with a nine-man ska ensemble. Stephens told The Gleaner the band comprises bass, guitar, keyboard, trumpet, saxophone and trombone players, two backing vocalists and a DJ. All the members were born and currently live in Salento, southern Italy. "I met the band at a festival in Italy last year after a performance. We both did ska in our set on stage and did very well. That's how the idea came about," he said. (Jamaica, Gleaner)

    The unstoppeble grammy award jamaican singer and producers Richie Stephens start a great collaboration with the italian reggae singer and producers duo Rankin Lele and Papa Leo, to create a new musical project named Richie Stephens and the Ska Nation Band, between 2015 2016.


    “Richie Stephens & SkaNation Band is Jamaica and Italy comin toghether in the mighty name of Ska”


    With his captivating voice and a sound that exhibits his passion from every note, Richie Stephens and SkaNation Band will release their new studio album "Internationally", April 15th (Pot of Gold, Adriatic Sound/Zojak Worldwide). 
     

    The 14-track album available for pre-order today  March 29th is a tribute to Ska. Richie Stephens and the SkaNation band (based out of Italy), came together to create a masterpiece, which listeners can appreciate and become educated at the same time. The album starts with a single title 'Foundation', which mentions some of the Ska greats and states that 'Ska a the original sound, Jamaica's first big music".
     

    "I truly think ska music should be preserved and respected by us as Jamaican people for being our first international music" says Richie Stephens.
     

    Connecting with the Skanation band, whose name was given to them by Richie Stephens, while in Italy last summer at the Casalabate Festival, the creative bond was instant. The single 'Kingston Salento' shows the connection and love for ska on a global level. With half of the album being completed in Italy and half the album completed in Jamaica, 'Internationally' is also symbolic of the passion and impact ska music have on a broader spectrum.
     

    "Ska music is far more loved and respected over seas than in my own country Jamaica" says Richie Stephens.  The album 'Internationally' follows a theme  genre of Ska and gives listeners an ability to dance as well.
     

    Throughout the album Richie Stephens and Skanation band embrace the musical magic of Ska. Bringing to life the message in the song like "Born To Be Great" feat. Sly & Robbie and still giving the listener a feeling of happiness as they sing and dance along. For many music lovers they may view Ska music as 'older reggae music', Richie Stephens and SkaNation band definitely changed that stereotype. With singles like "Original Style" feat. Sean Paul and Gentleman, "Internationally" feat. Sud Sound System or "Everybody Dance" (Remix) there is a youthful tone, which highlights the ability to blend age groups and still highlight the great arrangement and greatness of Ska.
     

    Working with some of reggae great musicians on this album like Cleveland "Clevie" Browne, Dean Fraser and Stephen 'Lenky' Marsden, Richie Stephens and SkaNation band created a great body of work. From the musical arrangements to the lyrics, "Internationally" definitely does the music and Ska lovers proud.

    "I would like every one to listen this album and realize that Ska music is a very serious genre that can stay on top if given the right opportunity like before" says Richie Stephens.
