Bobby Womack is preparing the release of his latest album, The Bravest Man In The Universe, produced by Damon Albarn and Richard Russell of XL Recordings. The album is set to include an interesting feature from none other than Lana Del Rey, and is set to release June 11 in the UK and June 12 in the US.

“On this first glimpse of his first album in nearly 20 years, The Bravest Man in the Universe, co-producers Damon Albarn and Richard Russell don’t try to re-create the musical flourishes of his old material. Instead, they opt for a burbling piano and synth syncopation that sounds like futuristic R&B. The pair’s sonic touches are hypnotic enough to sound unobtrusive, providing an intriguing contrast with Womack’s coarsely textured voice, but also allowing him to sound as direct as ever. – Stephen M. Deusner, Pitchfork

Talent Buyers Agrees

“Bobby’s show in may 2011 had one the largest first weekend sales we’ve ever experienced and sold out 5 nights fully, weeks in advance. It was one of the best and most anticipated gigs we’ve ever had!” – Andy Robbins, Jazz Cafe London

“Bobby’s performances were amazing and we all were happy that we could capture one of his performances on TV! Show was really powerful, and great show. Thank you so much for your support!” – Nanako Hashino, Fuji TV and Ena Matsuno from Billboard Live Tokyo 2012

“a brilliant vocalist and a great entertainer!  Also a very humble man with a big heart it seems.  I can be nothing but thankful for him blessing us with his presence.  The crowd absolutely worshiped him” – Magnus Palmquist, Stockholm Jazz Festival 2011

“I was very impressed by Bobby Womack, the two shows were stunning and amazing. We would like to arrange a big European tour with you.” – Mark Van Den Bergh, Talent buyer

“Bobby Womack was both shows great, just like that.  The audience was thrilled, and we were very happy.” – Ruud Wijkniet, Hague Jazz Festival 2011

RE: Kimichi Records
YuhSeeYou Entertainment & Publicity

Kimichi Records signs Exclusive contract with Johnny Wonder; with expected weekend release for the anticipated Phoenix Riddim.

[Kingston, Jamaica] Late 2011 Kimichi Records came together with the idea of creating hits that would make it to the top of the charts. Hanif Chito (CEO/Producer) and Dane Sortie (Composer/Producer) had no Idea that with their first compilation riddim alone that the label would accomplish just that. Currently #1 for the last two weeks on a UK Radio chart the two songs “Can’t take the Stress (World Quake Riddim)” and “Weh Yuh Deh” which both singles were composed and produced by Kimichi Records.

When the label was interviewed on ZIP Fm just last week, the labels Publicist, Reeva Proctor talked about the labels mission; mentioning something very important for the industry and that was to support Young and Upcoming talent worldwide. Currently the label has signed two upcoming artists to their label: Jamaica’s Squaddy and Canada’s Sampaloo. Since the artistes joined with Kimichi Records, both artists have received airplay on hot Jamaica stations such as; Linkz FM and Zip FM.

This weekend is the expected for the highly anticipated “Phoenix Riddim” featuring the top upcoming artists making moves in the Jamaica music industry. The riddim has not only deejays but Singjay’s, singers, and even a female dancehall artiste from the UK. The indie/undergound/dancehall sound is guaranteed to capture those who listen to rock, punk, reggae, dancehall, hip hop and more.

At the beginning of December the label signed an Exclusive Distribution contract with 21st Hapilos aka Johnny Wonder; the man known to make songs like “Clarks” by Vybz Kartel, Overproof Riddim, and even more recently “Only Man She Want” Remix by Popcaan and Busta Rhymes international hits. With 21st Hapilos on their side, and YuhSeeYou Entertainment and Publicity; A upcoming Publicity Firm that has been making big movements in the Music Industry, the labels future looks to be very successful.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 14, 2012

Kingston, Jamaica, March 14, 2012:- Reggae singer, song-writer Iley Dread, who now goes by the moniker Chardavid, has put out another single from his soon-to-be-released album, Unleashed.

The Rastafarian crooner steps away from his traditional lovers rock groove with the song, Hail Rastafari. With an all-star cast featuring the legendary Sly Dunbar who created the riddim track and  renowned bass player, Charles Sinclair as producer, Chardavid feels confident that this single will have intended impact.

“It was wonderful to collaborate with Sly and Charles Sinclair on this project. Over the years I have done a lot of work with the maestro, Sly Dunbar, and everyone knows he’s amazing. Sly has that special way of always keeping singers on the right track and delivering a riddim that suits your voice and persona.

“However, this is the first time I am working with Charles Sinclair in this capacity and it has been an eye-opener,” Chardavid stated.

A member of the original Messenger Band, Charles Sinclairs’ credits include working with reggae greats Dennis Brown, Black Uhuru and Mykal Rose, Queen Ifrica,  Kanan and also R&B legend, Lionel Richie just  to name a few.  Sinclair is now based in the US, where he keeps his fingers on the pulse of reggae music.

It was a pleasure and an honour working with Charles Sinclair. He proved to be a very intense and discplined producer and I admire that a lot,” Chardavid recalled. “I feel the reggae magic coursing through my veins on this song and I hope listeners will respond to it,” the singer declared.

Hail Rastafari can be described as praise-worthy track which propels the singer out of his usual comfort zone. Live performances of this song, especially across Canada, have engendered quite a bit of positive vibes, as the artiste sheds his inhibitions and delivers

The single is now in rotation in New York, Jamaica, England, Canada and, according to Chardavid’s team, they have been receiving encouraging feedback from industry players.

Hail Rastafari is available for download on iTunes and the music video is in the making.
