Cherine's "Eagles & Doves" On KISS FM UK Fresh Track of the Week

Jamaican songstress Cherine's "Eagles & Doves" has been selected by major UK radio station, KISS FM as their Kiss Fresh Track of the Week. The song has been receiving positive feedback from DJs both locally and international.

"Eagles & Doves" is produced by Dream Queen and Shadow for the Dancehall-Soul Label and is the follow-up single to Cherine's powerful ballad "How We Living."

The radio mix of the song samples the Sly & Robbie 90's hit beat "Fed Up" and is perfect for the summer. Both the radio as well as the acoustic versions of "Eagles & Doves" will be available for digital music purchase on major online music stores, including iTunes and Amazon, in June.


Cherine first performed the acoustic version of the song at the Princess Diana Award reception honoring Jamaican Olympic athlete Asafa Powell to overwhelming positive response by those in attendance. The song has since been requested to be performed for events supporting cancer outreach and has been a hit with school children during her participation in the Reach One Child Jamaica School Tour. "Eagles & Doves" was also used for both the radio and television commercials for the recently held "Women Expo", an initiative of the Bureau of Women Affairs and United Nations funded "Way Out Project" aimed at creating opportunities for Jamaican women in business.

Legendary DJ and KISS FMs broadcaster David Rodigan has been a long term supporter of great Jamaican music and stated, " "Eagles & Doves" is a charismatic song of hope delivered with true passion and verve over a driving powerhouse rhythm. Cherine is unquestionably one of Jamaica's most outstanding and soulful vocalists."

Cherine is set to perform at several festivals in North America this summer including Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in Booneville, California, Calgary Reggae Festival in Alberta Canada as well as Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival in British Columbia. Adding to her many activities her team has released a series of dancehall tracks, "Haffi Come Back" (Coolie Gyal Riddim) as well as the new duet "Make Love To Me" featuring new hot DJ G-Blunt, that are already creating a buzz locally.

Rebecca Stirm Sews Her Way To win #4 on Mission Catwalk

Having won prior challenges on episodes two, four and six, Rebecca Stirm’s episode 9 win makes the Belizean the winningest designer on Season Two of Caribbean fashion reality series Mission Catwalk which has seen participants from five Caribbean countries competing in its second season. After a visit to the Hope Zoo, the seven remaining contestants were instructed to design a gown for a charity gala and a second garment for a charity luncheon inspired by one animal from the zoo.

Rebecca chose the turtle because it was “an unusual and unique animal that people didn’t already have preconceptions about what turtle- inspired garment should look like.”

Using a kaleidoscope patterned fabric similar to the pattern on a turtle’s shell; Rebecca created a gown with dramatic neckline while using layers of different fabrics in circular cutouts to build a skirt that would mimic a turtle’s shell while still allowing movement. For her second outfit the kaleidoscope fabric was more prominent and used for most of the blouse, while the pencil skirt was in a monotone beige..

The judges Keneea Linton-George host and executive producer of Mission Catwalk, Novia McDonald-Whyte senior associate editor lifestyle and social content at the Jamaica Observer; menswear designer Carlton Brown and guest judge designer Celia Levy commended Rebecca on the structure of her design. For Levy the fact that it was “wearable” was also highly appealing. Her high scores won her a feature in Style Observer as well as a JA$50,000 (US$583).

Unfortunately this week, Kesia Estwick of Barbados was eliminated. The St. Phillip designer has scored her first win two episodes back. Six designers are still in the running for the chance to show at London Fashion Week. They are Crystal Powell, Gregory Williams and Janel Jolly of Jamaica, Ryan Chan of Trinidad & Tobago, Kerin Scott of Barbados and Belize’s Rebecca Stirm.
