Gyptian Reveals "Colorful" Title Track From Sex, Love & Reggae

Gyptian is revving up for his upcoming studio album Sex, Love and Reggae (October 29, VP Records) and reveals his "colorful" title track today via Pitchfork.

The Major Lazer and Jerry Wonda produced single "Sex, Love and Reggae" features guest vocals from Angela Hunte (co-writer for Jay Z's Grammy-winning "Empire State of Mind") and Trinidadian soca king Bunji Garlin.

In support of Sex, Love and Reggae, the reggae star is currently touring the United States. He will be performing in the Southeast, Northeast and West Coast regions until early November.

Gyptian's Sex, Love and Reggae is a marked departure from the MOBO and Soul Train award-winning Jamaican singer's previous releases and unveils another layer of his artistry.

The musically diverse set - that takes the listener from dancehall to soca to global pop and R&B sounds - follows his 2010 critically-acclaimed album Hold You and its RIAA certified Gold title track. The 17-track set is co-executive produced by Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis, who is known for cranking out hits for superstars such as Miguel, Mary J. Blige, Lupe Fiasco, the Fugees and many more. 

The album also features guest appearances from R&B divas Estelle, Melanie Fiona and soca sensation Kes the Band. Just as the title would imply, Sex, Love and Reggae is a spicy and sweet mixture of hits. He displays his playful side with wine-inducing anthems like “Non Stop” and “Wine Slow” (which already received over 7.5 million YouTube views for the lyrics video alone) and reveals his affectionate side on romantic ballads like “Majestic Love” feat. Estelle and the breathtaking rendition of this Gregory Isaacs classic “My Number One.” 

He even delves outside of the genre and reimagines Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” which was part of Chevrolet and MTV Iggy’s "Cover The World" campaign. Bringing a much-needed dose of reggae back to the airwaves, the album’s lead single “Vixen” is currently picking up steam on radio stations across the U.S. and U.K. and will drop a new video directed by Jamaica’s talented Ras Kassa (of Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley’s “Welcome To Jamrock” fame). The sultry anthem is co-written by and features Angela Hunte. “It’s all about being versatile,” Gyptian says of the album, and his perspective on music overall. “For me, there’s no boundaries in music. Pick one—there is a Gyptian song in that category for you.”

Tian Winter Receives iTunes Feature

Antiguan soca star Tian Winter releases his third full-length studio effort Roaming, today, October 15, 2013, available worldwide from all major digital retailers, distributed by Precision Digital, a distribution partner of FOX FUSE. Winter also sees the simultaneous worldwide release of his two previous albums, Not Afraid and Cya Fail Me, the latter receiving a prized feature on iTunes during its day of release, positioning the Caribbean singing sensation in the global spotlight.

Undeniably the leading solo recording artist from Antigua, Winter brings his entire music catalog to the masses with the international release of all three of his albums. The new album Roaming features eight hypnotic singles, including the provocative title track “Roaming” that secured Winter his third win as Antigua’s Groovy Soca Monarch, which he picked up during Antigua’s Carnival celebrations this year. This latest collection also armed Winter with ammunition to once again dominate the airwaves with his hits including “Good Time,” “Daring You,” “Adrenaline” and “Throw Back.”

No stranger to the stage, Winter has been performing for crowds since the tender age of 10 and has honed his craft throughout the years, cultivating his talents into the consummate entertainer that he is today. He has carved his own niche in the soca genre by infusing pop and R&B singing styles into contemporary Caribbean rhythms, thereby creating a musical product that excites and enthralls audiences at home and abroad. 

“Roaming is my best album to date because I was the most involved in the writing and production of it,” Winter reveals. “I was able to work closely with the producers and songwriters during the entire process, so this album showcases my versatility as an artist.” Winter’s debut album Not Afraid was released locally in Antigua in 2011 and features eight tracks, including his most successful single to date, “Crash,” which also laid ground for his first music video. 

The official “Crash” video premiered worldwide on October 1, 2013 on the ultimate music video platform, VEVO. The album served up other hits like “Push Back,” Pressure Waist” and “Hurricane,” which earned Winter his second Jumpy/Power Soca Monarch title in Antigua. His sophomore album Cya Fail Me, also released locally in 2012, delivers nine superb singles with the title track “Cya Fail Me” earning Winter another Groovy Soca Monarch title, and hit single “Raving” securing him as the Jumpy/Power Soca Monarch yet again. 

The album also scored with “You Got It,” “Body Up,” “On The Road” featuring Teddyson John of St. Lucia, and “Raving (Flames Remix)” alongside Antigua's music legend Onyan of the Burning Flames. Teaming up with top producers in the soca genre, including Trinidad’s Kasey Phillips and Precision Productions, Dwain “Dwaingerous” Antrobus from Barbados, Homebase Music, Studio 758 and Daddy Jones, in addition to native Antiguan producers, Winter spares no effort in uniting all the sounds of the Caribbean in his musical journey. Tian Winter’s Roaming, Cya Fail Me and Not Afraid are now available worldwide from all major digital retailers and is distributed by Precision Digital.
