“A female version of Horace Andy … Solid and different.” – Achis Reggae
From her work with Sly & Robbie (Annette Brissett and the Taxi Gang) to penning the international hit “I Shall Sing” for Marcia Griffiths, Annette Brissett has been a key figure in reggae music for decades. And on her most recent album, Lift Your Head Up, a project two years in the making, Annette shines as a solo artist.
Deh Deh – Denroy and Devano Mclean – two blood brothers with music, vibez and culture running through their veins announced their presence quite clearly at the 2007 Digicel Rising Stars competition in which they finished among the top 10 finalists.
“Would A Know” draws the listener in with, ‘what if?’. “Mi nuh know wats coming or wats next, So mi live my life like its my last breath”. A heartfelt ballad with particular relevance today, “Would A Know” showcases the writing ability of Deh Deh with lyrical mentoring from the ‘freedom fighter’, Anthony B.
Musically arranged and composed by Steve Locke with contributions from Keyboard maestro, Nigel “Sleepy Splu” Staff and Adrian Locke, “Would A Know” was mixed and mastered by the skillful and accomplished Phillip ‘Junior Arrows’ Linton of Arrows Productions.
