CHERINE DOES IT "HONOR-REBEL"

Cherine, the multi-talented Dancehall-Soul 'rebel' is making strides as one of the most refreshing young acts on the dancehall/reggae scene. She is expanding her horizons by releasing not one but seven new singles ahead of the summer's exciting party period. 

Showing that she is more than versatile, Cherine varies her musical styles with these new singles. The independent women anthem "Make up Sex" is the first single to hit the streets and is already receiving strong support from fans across the globe. Cherine turns up the heat in the must see video "Make up Sex", which reveals a side of the songbird that most fans have never seen.

Cherine continues to rock the airwaves with the radio friendly hit "Rebel", a collaboration she co-wrote and performs with dj Danielle (DI). The Sly & Robbie produced hit "Rebel" is currently climbing several charts such as the Jamaica Music Countdown, and is currently # 5 on TVJ's Entertainment Report Video Chart, #3 on Hype TV's VTX Chart and recently entered FIWI Choice, CVM TV Hitlist as well as Carib Vibez TV Top Ten Video Charts.   

"Fade 2 Black" and  "We Don't Stop" produced by U.I.M  and Dancehall Soul Productions respectively, addresses issues being faced by many Jamaicans and have been added to radio play lists in countries such as Venezuela and Kenya.

Tribute to Japan

Wasting no time, Cherine gets ready to drop the awe-inspiring and heart touching single "More Left In You", a tribute to the many lives lost in Japan's catastrophic Tsunami. The song has been getting positive feedback and support from industry veterans such as Sly & Robbie, and is produced by Dancehall Soul Productions.

Fans can also look out for other hot new tunes on Dancehall Soul Productions such as  "All I Want Is You" and " Star A Mi Show (My Man Dat)", which should find favor especially with her many independent and 'honor-rebel' female supporters.  

After captivating both TV and in studio audiences with a remarkable one hour  performance with her band on TVJ's Layers of Soul recently, Cherine is gearing up for heavy promotion of her new singles. There is also a remix for "Make Up Sex" with one of MTV's buzz worthy hip hop stars in the pipeline. Listen to these songs and watch the videos at www.cherineanderson.com.

Let Go and Let the Uni-Verse!

Taken from Mastin at The Daily Love.com

It's my bet that most of the folks reading this blog are either living in Western society or are highly influenced by Western society. Because of this, I am also going to make the assumption, that like me, you are an achiever.

That is, you love getting things done, coming in and taking charge, making things happen and setting yourself a part from "the pack" and that when you REALLY put your mind to things, those things get done.

But I bet, if you're like me, that there is also probably a lot of confusion about how to be an "achiever" and still be on The Path. Here are two tips I figured out:

1. You'll never get it all done.
2. It's not your job to work yourself to the bone from a place of lack, but to represent the fullness that is already within you.

Now, this isn't a prescription for laziness. No. But it is a prescription for happiness.

You see, as a child of The Uni-verse, you are provided for, you are loved and you are guided. When you work WITH The Uni-verse, you realize that you are only 50% of the equation. You are not the creator of your life, you are the "CO"-creator of your life. What's that mean? It means that 49% of how your life turns out is up to you and 51% of how your life turns out is on The Uni-verse.

Think of it like this: work like it depends on you; pray like it depends on The Uni-verse.

Make your primary intent not to be a "human doing" and run yourself dry. No. Make your primary intent to enjoy your life, to thrive and to be fulfilled
daily. This means letting yourself off the hook for having a limited amount of energy. It also means that because you know that you have limited energy, it's important focus on what's most important for you.

It's important to remember that in our achieving we leave room for love, for connection and for what matters most. It's no fun to be the one with the biggest pile of gold, but no friends or lovers to share it with.

When you know you are always provided for, it takes the edge off. When you know you have limits, this knowledge puts perspective on where you should keep your focus.

And when you let go, you give The Uni-verse even MORE room to fill in the blanks of your life with things even GREATER than you can now imagine.

I can sum it up for you in a few words:

Ask. Believe. Act. Let go. Receive.

Whatever you receive from working in this way will be a perfect gift. Let go a little and give The Uni-verse room to give you this beautiful gift.

Love,

Mastin

The Power of Grace!

Taken from Mastin at The Daily Love.com

Grace has been on my mind a lot lately.

There are many definitions of Grace. The one that jumps out at me is two simple words, "a reprieve".

That is to say that Grace is a phenomenon in The Uni-verse that, even when we make all kinds of mistakes, when we mess up, when we fall down, we are given a reprieve from our mistakes.

I believe that the energy that runs The Uni-verse is Love. So, a way to capture this idea is to say that it is by the Grace of the Love of The Uni-verse that we can mess up time and time again and still make it through life happy and fulfilled. We were born to learn and tune into to this Love energy.

I can't tell you how many mistakes I have made. Everything from thinking food, drugs and alcohol were the solution to my unhappiness, to thinking my own self-importance (aka Ego) was more important than the well-being of my fellow brothers and sisters.

If this were an un-Loving Uni-verse, then putting my ego first, trying to fill myself up with things other than Love and many other mistakes, would have meant that I would have been doomed to a life of sadness, loneliness and never being fulfilled.

But as I began to turn my thoughts towards Love (of my Creator, of myself and of my brothers and sisters), towards being of service and towards solving the problems of others, life began to change. And it was THROUGH making the mistakes that I learned that there was another way.

It was the pain (at sometimes BIG pain) that eventually led me down a path of wisdom. And I was a stubborn student. I had to be brought right to the brink to finally change my ways.

I believe it was by Grace that I met people when I did, who handed me the books, or said the words that I needed to hear in that exact moment. It was Grace that kept me alive through my own foolishness as a young man. It was Grace that helped make TDL what it is today. There is NO WAY I could have done all these things by myself.

To me, Grace is the Love of The Uni-verse in action and it is something that ALL of us can receive simply because we are all children of The Uni-verse. Grace is a force that exists, not because we always get it perfect; Grace exists for us in spite of the fact that we don't get it perfect.

I've found that Grace has touched my life in increasing amounts, as I take my eyes off of myself and turn towards focusing on Love. It's almost as if there is a current of wind that is Grace and it is by setting the sail of Love that we can catch it's current.

No matter what you're going through, no matter what has happened in the past, I strongly believe that Grace is available to you if you simply turn from your, thoughts of fear and ego to thoughts of Love. The Uni-verse wants you to be happy. Can you say the same thing about yourself?

I hope that wherever you are, Grace touches your life today and that you can love yourself as much as The Uni-verse loves you.

Love,

Mastin

 

♣ Artist Spotlight! ♣ Empress Shaneece - 2 Di Left!

 

Let us begin by saying don't let this Empresses looks fool you.  She might appear to be simple,

but when you're hit by her lyrics, you'll see just how far she is from that word.

 

Empress Shaneece, has stopped by to drop off some new material she's hoping you will embrace!  The name of the song is "2 Di Left" which is set to a hardcore Dancehall riddim (dancers will LOVE this song - trust us) and takes aim at the people who disrespect the Empresses regime.  Pree the lyrics at the 1:25 marker:

 

"Here come the gideon / swing low sweet chariot and watch me get it on / steady pon dih riddim haffi ride caw me meddi pon / the sufferer's / oh the long sufferers / dem suffer caw babylon ah sink dem claws / peace and unity deh pon lock / den know no dibby dibby coulda jam dis rock / an no dibby dibby coulda run dis block / and no dibby dibby coulda trod dis trod / slide 2 dih left ...."

 

If ever there was a 'gangsta Empress,' we would say we have it in Empress Shaneece.  That is not said to be disrespectful, rather it is said with praise as to how fierce her lyrical delivery is as she makes no apologies for challenging babylon, nor does she apologise for claiming her victory!  When you hear this artist, you'll agree, trust us!  

 

P.S.  Please make sure to comment to we can pass it on to the Empress!
