Jahdore Making Waves With “This Love Is Over”

Singer, songwriter and musical arranger JahDore has been creating waves with his current single, the very poignant and thought provoking This Love is over.

Produced by Andrew Myers for Heartcour Productions/Rountoun Music Production and UIM Records, the song has taken over the airwaves with a bang. It is currently number sixteen on the Jamaica Music Countdown Top 25 Reggae Singles chart.

Another single Harlem Blunts equally showcases JahDore’s lyrical prowess and versatility as an artiste. This Love is over is a witty tale of a relationship gone bad. It tells the story of a man who has been faithful to his significant other and who makes sacrifices beyond the call of duty to keep his family together.

However in the short term, the flashiness and swag of another man, managed to catch the attention of his significant other, thus ending their relationship.

Harlem Blunts is the opposite. A playful party-flavoured track which helps to create a vibe inside a nightclub or at a party or session. Born Sean McDonald, JahDore hails from Ebonyvale, Spanish Town, St. Catherine. He attended the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts where he honed his musicianship. He is currently signed to Rountoun Music Productions.

JahDore’s early days in the reggae industry were spent touring Europe, the United States and other parts of the world with the likes of reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff and the musical messenger Luciano among others. A prolific saxophonist, he also plays the keyboard and piano.

“My ultimate dream has always been to write and sing my own music. Being educated at an institution such as the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts was a way of learning the business from all the possible perspectives,” JahDore commented.

Over the past few months, JahDore has been working hard in the studios on various recordings for well-known producers and record labels. He has completed material for Head Concussion Records, Payday Music and Rountoun Music Productions.

Robert Minott’s 'Right Man Fi Yuh' Hits The Charts

Singer Robert Minott’s latest single Right Man Fi Yuh has hit the local charts. The song has climbed two spots into the number 20 position on the Jamaica Music Countdown Top 25 Reggae Singles tally.

In a release to the media, an excited Minott expressed his pleasure at the song’s entry on the chart. “It's a joy knowing that when you put something together then introduce it to the people and they accept it.

I feel very good about this song and I would like to thank radio for
the support and the television stations for playing the video. The supported is appreciated,” said Minott. Right Man Fi Yuh was produced by Kirk Bennett, whose track record includes Tek Weh Yuhself by Mr. Vegas.

“Kirk was visiting Houston, Texas and we got together musically and were vibing when the idea for the rhythm hit me so I suggested it to Kirk and he put the beat together. After listening to the beat for a while, the lyrics of the song came right away,” Minott explained as the idea behind the song.

Minott who carved out a name as a show and event promoter over the years, successfully promoted events in Jamaica and Houston, Texas where he is based. His forthcoming singles include Silver Words, and an R&B flavoured ballad titled Love Struck. Love Struck is already garnering some attention at R&B radio stateside. Minott is expected to release his debut album Night Shift towards the end of 2011.
