Janet Kay

Verse 1
Clouds roll, and mountains sing,
The sound of thunder carries wing.
From Zion’s hill the fire came,
No chain could hold the holy flame.

Verse 2
The rivers part, the earth is still,
The righteous walk where love is will.
Dust and glory fill the sky,
Jah lift I soul, He make I fly.

Pre-Chorus
When the storm begins to roar,
I feel the peace I had before.

Chorus
Rise in Jah light, rise again,
Through the fire, through the rain.
Drums of freedom, heartbeat strong,
In I Father’s name, I belong.

Verse 3
Kings fall down, the humble rise,
Truth reflect in ancient eyes.
No more fear, no sword to keep,
Only promises Jah still speak.

Bridge
Every tear become the sea,
Every soul return to free.

Chorus (repeat)
Rise in Jah light, rise again,
Through the fire, through the rain.
Drums of freedom, heartbeat strong,
In I Father’s name, I belong.



Psalm 68

FASHION RECORDS 
VARIOUS ARTISTS – ‘Fashion In Fine Style Significant Hits Volume Two’
Released 17th June 2013 as a Digitally Remastered CD  
through Reggae Archive Records /Fashion.


         Following the success of “Significant Hits Volume One”, Reggae Archive Records once again team up with Fashion for the CD release of “Significant Hits Volume Two”. If anything, this latest compilation betters its predecessor and in common with Volume One, it trawls through every corner of the label's deep catalogue to bring fans a great selection of 20 tracks from the Fashion vaults. As with Volume One, this latest compilation reflects the diversity of artists and styles that found a home with Fashion.
     When it comes to veteran Jamaican singers, this compilation includes three of the best. Johnnie Clarke is present with “Rocking To the A-Class Champion” and as befits one of the label's earliest releases it kicks things off setting the bar high. More than rising to the challenge is Horace Andy with his sizeable 1985 hit “Hypocrites”, an essential update of the perennially popular Wailers tune. It's aptly placed back to back, just as they were as vinyl 12”s, with the late Junior Delgado's  superb and understated “Two To Tango”.
      Another legendary figure in seventies reggae is producer and sometime melodica player Glen Brown, represented here with  the wild, album only track “Detrimental Music” a tune that feels like it's about to escape the confines of the studio at any moment.
      One of Fashion's cornerstones was lovers rock and as with Volume One, the genre is well represented with tracks from Michael Gordon, Barry Boom, Winsome and Nerious Joseph, Neville Morrison and Janet Lee Davis with an alternate cut of “Do You Remember”. As well as straight lovers rock, there are lovers rock dancehall crossovers from Philip Leo and C. J. Lewis, Michie One and Louie Lou and General Levy. Nerious Joseph has the distinction of making a second appearance with his huge 1985 hit “Sensi Crisis” whilst the UK MC style for which the label was justly famed can be heard with Pato's “The Boss”.
       The straight dancehall sound can be heard in Papa San's “DJ Business” and Top Cat's “Gallist”, while dancehall pioneer Frankie Paul makes the bold claim to be “The Greatest”. Fashion was never a label that could be pigeon-holed, always willing to spread their wings beyond the core reggae market. The disc is rounded off with dancehall influenced jungle from Tenor Fly and Poison Chang whilst Cutty Ranks is represented by a hip hop mix.
       With Volume Two the series goes from strength to strength bettering its predecessor and being exactly as described, all hits and all significant in the story of reggae in the UK. “Significant Hits Volume Two” is released by Reggae Archive Records and Fashion on CD on 17th June 2013 it is also available on digital download from leading sites.

Janet Kay was born in North West London, of Jamaican parentage. Her career took off when she  recorded  a reggae cover of Minnie Ripperton's track, "Lovin' You" (produced by the Late Alton Ellis) which became a number one hit in the UK reggae charts in 1977. Janet recorded several other hits in the following 2 years.  In 1979, "Silly Games" (produced by Dennis Bovell) became a hit in not only the UK, but also in Europe.  Janet has been recorded in the Music Guinness Book of Records, as the first British black female reggae artist to have a reggae song at the top of the UK Pop charts. Janet appeared on BBC Television's Top of the Pops several times. 

Janet was also one of the creators and main characters (Angel) in the cast of the cult television sitcom  ‘No Problem’! (1981 - 1985) and has also made many other stage, TV and screen appearances.

In 1993 Janet had a No. 1 hit in Japan with, ironically “Lovin’ You” which she had re-recorded.  This was one of the tracks that sparked the reggae boom in Japan in the early 90’s.  Sony Music Japan signed Janet to their label where she had a string of hits in Japan and recorded 6 albums for them between 1993 and 2003.

Recently, Janet along side Victor Romero Evans and Carroll Thompson have been touring their successful hit show 'The Lovers Rock Monologues' in theatres around the UK.
