Pianist, dancer and actor Chantelle has worked as a backing vocalist with Gregory Isaacs and the Wailers as well as topping the Japanese charts as part of quartet UNITZz. She became a Necessary artist while Curtis was over in Jamaica and new EP 'My Forever' out 11.1.11 should be one of the first essential releases of the New Year. From opener Good Man, through the rock-infused Hotta Fire to closer Sort Me Out (previously issued on the Digital Acoustics compilation) these songs are all about high standards in music and life. Ernandez' self penned-lyrics crackle with insight and ingenuity while her powerful but controlled voice suits Lynch's bass-heavy production to a tee.
