Neka Leslie has the ‘Energy’

US-based Jamaica-born recording artiste Neka Leslie is gearing up for the release of her new dancehall single titled ' Energy'.

"This is the follow-up to my single titled African Girl featuring Busy Signal which was released in January. That song was warmly received. It got a lot of support from DJs in Jamaica, the States and Africa. I'm confident that Energy will do even better. It's not officially released yet but I'm getting a lot of positive feedback about it already," said the artiste.

The vivacious entertainer says Energy is a departure from her previous releases.

"I'm not known for doing dancehall songs my previous singles were more reggae and Afrobeats-flavoured tracks. This is my first hardcore dancehall track and I am very excited about it because it gives me a chance to showcase my versatility as a singer, songwriter and producer," she said.

Produced by the artiste for her Neka Leslie Music label, Energy is scheduled to be released on all digital platforms on June 24. The single was written by Neka Leslie and Nazine, recorded at Big Yard Studios. It was mixed and mastered by Frenz For Real Studios and DJ Trapical.

Neka Leslie also revealed that she's currently working on several new projects, including an EP.

"But I haven't set a release date for it as yet. I'm also recording some songs that I plan to release as singles later this year," she said.

Her previous songs are Because I Love You and Topsy Turvy featuring Nazine.
