Lyrics & Style (feat. Cookie The Herbalist)

Cookie The Herbalist unveils infectious summer hit “A DAY LIKE THIS“ , fusing Dancehall,
Afrobeat and Spanish lyrics on a lively production by Kenyan producer BF Money Music.
With this mid-summer anthem, Cookie, known as one of Switzerland’s hottest Reggae acts, is set to make big waves.

Once more, Cookie The Herbalist showcases his linguistic skills and international appeal, seamlessly transitioning between languages and singing styles, adding an extra layer of flavour to the song! 
It's Summer all year with “A DAY LIKE THIS“ !

A Day Like This

‘Promises’ is a lyrically strong song which mostly talks about promises (as the title says it). Promises that are seldom kept. To avoid disappointments, the song also warns people from trusting too much in other people’s promises and loyalty.

Cookie The Herbalist - Promises

On his last visit to London, where Cookie recorded a bunch of still unreleased songs for Soundkillaz Music (Jack Radics son’s label), he also recorded the song ‘Cool&Peaceful Vibes’ on the ‘Most High Riddim’ by French label ‘Head Creator’. This Riddim is a very rootsy one, perfected and polished with some live instruments giving it a even more earthy sound. Cookie convinces with some very good, revolutionary and uplifting Rasta – lyrics.
A ‘must hear’ – song!

Cookie - Cool & Peaceful Vibes

This melodic Modern Roots – riddim inspired Cookie to write and record a lyrically deep reality song.
Cookie wants the people to finally realise the wrongs that are going on in this exploited,  filled with menmade conflicts world and ‘Mek A Change’!
Everyone can turn things to a better and united we can really ‘MEK A CHANGE’ and turn this blue planet into a better place for one and all!
Listen the song and don’t waste no more time…

Cookie The Herbalist - Mek A Change

‘Rise and Shine’ is another powerful single. The song was recorded in Kingston Jamaica at Inspired Music Studio. It’s a rebellious, ulifting and at the same time militant rasta song. The songs lyrics says it all: ‘It’s time to rise and shine, no time to waste got to take what’s mine. Rasta youths taking over, recruiting every soldier. Babylon your time’s up!’

In other words: Rise and shine and achieve what belongs to you!

'Ive Seen It All' is my contribution to this great new selection (off. release August 12) by Perfect Giddimani's own label GiddimaniRecords. The sweet, rootsy such as slightly melancholic Riddim filled with some amazing horn sets was created by Austrian band and producers House Of Riddim. 'Ive Seen It All' is a very souly, personal song containing some deep content and recorded with much feelings. "I've been hurt betrayed and lied to; my heart's been tricked insulted and kicked... I've seen it all.. yes I've seen it all.. but I will never, never loose control.. not at all..."!

Cookie The Herbalist recorded this Lover's Rock collaboration with producer Rivah Jordan, son of legendary, veteran Lover's Rock artist Jack Radics, 6 years ago but nothing was done with it until Rivah found it in his archives and resurrected it. "Never Know" will be released on all major download sites on June 28th. GET IT!!!

Never Know

“…Big up all mi true friends and fire bun a frenemy, mi cut off all di linky dem weh nuh really real to me, things weh dida worry mi cyaa worry mi again, nuh deal wid badmind so mi nuh keep dem kinda friend...”

 

This line might describe Cookie The Herbalist’s brand new creation, on a vibing rhythm by Austrian producer Sam Gilly (House Of Riddim), as his best. This song, in which the artist again delivers very solid lyrics, is on one hand referring to fake friends and unloyal fellows and on the other hand thanking and bigging up the real friends who never sold out and always stayed loyal.

“...That’s why mi haffi big up all mi real gena dem, di ones dem weh dehyah from way back when...”

Cookie The Herbalist strikes again with another big song. He is doing what he does best, delivering high-quality lyrics underlined by his sometimes rough, sometimes bittersweet voice, all mixed together with a variety of powerful styles and spiced up with catchy melodies.

"Humble" by Cookie The Herbalist

"WITHOUT YOU"
by Cookie The Herbalist
„...what would I do; If I ain’t got you...?
Summer is definitely over and much quicker than expected, the grey, misty winter returned. A harsh cool wind chased away the light, warm breeze of Summer’s love and it’s romances.
„... cold, lonely nights... and you ain’t here to keep me warm...“
We reminisce about the one person or the people we felt or still feel love for and might have lost in the blink of a season’s change. The person we can’t do without in our lives!
„... if I ain’t got you, how am I supposed to breathe again? Without you how am I supposed to be happy again...?“
We’d like to present „Without You“ Cookie The Herbalist’s brand-new, very soulful Reggae - love ballade, in which Cookie repeatedly and perfectly masters one of his many different singing facets. His singing parts are smoothly underlined by amazing harmonies coming from the likes of Switzerland’s Reggae-Soul-Diva Irina Mossi, which additionally enriches the likely to hit song with even more charm and elegance.
„Without You“ is a next, heavy creation in Cookie’s song-catalogue and we strongly recommend you to download it, listen to it, once, twice, put the replay button on repeat and just feel it, feel it deep.
Thanks!
Official release: October 30th 2020

"WITHOUT YOU"

Cookie The Herbalist's musical journey began at a very young age singing in a church choir in Italy. At a still tender age he found his love for reggae music thanks to his parents vynil records collection. After making his first real musical steps as a teenager singing mainly Reggae choruses for various Swiss Rap crews (Cookie's family moved to Switzerland when he was about 8 years old) and mc'eing for local soundsystems. In 2007 Cookie had the oppurtunity to be the support act on Jah Mason's Europe tour and so he appeared at the Rototom Sunsplash in Italy (Europes biggest Reggae festival, now held in Spain), at the Rumble Reggae Festival in Germany etc. In 2008 Cookie got his first bigger radio airplay with the song 'Don't You Tell Me' on Rootdown Records 'I Love-Riddim'. This was the start to his still continuous presence in the Swiss radio playlists. Also in 2008 the young artist released his first official EP 'The Good Weed', containing riddims by European Reggae Giants like House Of Riddim and the Ganglords. 'Cyaan Stop' a combination with Cali P made it into Red Bull and Salomon's 'Every Day Is A Saturday' Freestyle Ski movie and got large international attention. In the following years Cookie opened shows and shared stage for/with superstars like Ziggy Marley, Julian Marley, Nas & Damian Marley, Jah Mason, U-Brown, Fantan Mojah, Junior Kelly, Lee Perry, Sizzla Kalonji and many more. In 2009 Cookie was to be heard on riddims from different international producers such as Weedy G and African Beat to name a few. After countless shows and studio sessions, Cookie's debut album 'Like A Tree' was finally released in 2010. Its first single release 'A Girl Like You' alongside the charming Jamaican singer Sophia Squire dropped like a bomb and got large airplay on Switzerlands biggest radio DRS3 (now SRF3) and other European radios, so after just a of couple days it turned to a summer hit. 'Like A Tree'  was a full success and kept Cookie tourning all over Switzerland, Austria and Germany etc. over two years with more than 120 shows in this short time. In late 2012 his second album 'Stand Tall' got released, once more showing a big improvement of the promising artist. The album also offers great combinations with big stars of the genre like Luciano, Sizzla Kalonji, Prezident Brown and U-Brown. 'Stand Tall' is another outstanding piece of music. From little Switzerland but with huge international flavor. After a next successful tour and many more single- and video releases Cookie visited Jamaica again early 2014 where, while spending some time at Inspired Production Studios in Kingston, some great new tunes got produced. One of these 'I Wish', a very melodic song with an uplifting message and a very nice video clip accompanying it. Returning to Switzerland and after some visits to London and other European cities, still writing and recording new songs for heavy weight producers like Weedy G, Inspired, JR. Blender, Boomrush and others, once more he flew to Jamaica his favorite place to be, where he kept on working on new material such as a still to be released song featuring legend Lee 'Scratch' Perry. Now Cookie is planning the production of his third album and looking for professional and motivated new buisiness partners to support him on his musical path. This singjay can't be stopped and is on his way to conquer the globe with his sound.
