06 - Year For Love

Freetown teamed up with the recognized international recording artist Bunji Garlin, for their second single release. 

The song "Born Soldiers" features a heavy tribal drum cadenced track produced by Keron 'Sheriff' Thompson, who is also well known for his production behind Bunji Garlin's 2013 international hit "Differentology". 

'Born Soldiers' is a lyrically driven record, conjuring emotions of national pride and strong Caribbean identity, while maintaining the magical sweetness of Muhammad's melodic and catchy motifs. 

The record is set to be accompanied by visuals that would also depeict the color and character of Caribbean people.

A journey through our ancestry as we embrace our history and use it to propel us forward as it gives us the energy and vitality that is needed to forge on.........FANGA!

Fire & Blood

After a long wait... I hope it's worth it. Let me know what you think! So happy with the way this turned out with the help of producer Lumpshadow and Tom Manche.

LYRICS:
I'm sorry for the things I've said
I've got other voices inside
Some say I should stay with you
The others say I should hide

So I'm starting to see this trend
That all the good things just come to an end
But if everything is temporary maybe I could pick up the pieces
And start again

Watched my friends fall in and out of love
You know you swore to me we'd never end up like them
So I gave you a shot, your love hit the spot
But in the end we just watched it crash down
Like a tall building that once stood so strong
Now just ashes on the ground

But if everything is temporary maybe I could pick up the pieces
And all this built up tension maybe you could come and help me release it
So I can start again

You say you wanna tie up loose ends
Maybe go back to being just friends
You know you'll end up catching feelings
When your heart should be healing
From the pain that we went through last time

But if everything is temporary maybe I could pick up the pieces
If everything is temporary maybe I could pick up the pieces
If everything, everything, everything is temporary
Everything, everything, everything is temporary

Everything is temporary
Why don't we just pick up the pieces?
And start again

Patrice Robert's Carry On Re Imagined by J9

The Trinidad and Tobago government paid for a strategic plan to develop the music industry towards the goal of diversification of the gas and oil-led economy into, among other areas, the creative industries. The resultant Plan has been held captive by a Ministry of Trade and Industry that has implemented piecemeal elements, suggesting that resource allocations were not forthcoming from the annual budget to fully implement. In this time of COVID-19 and seeing a slow economic recovery thereafter, a new strategy of public and private sector collaboration must be the new normal. Arguments are laid forth here.
