Anthony B launches 7th Album Untouchable

Anthony B

ANTHONY B LOCKED down Knutsford Boulevard on Sunday night with his long delayed album launch.

Launching his seventh album, 'Untouchable', he lived up to the name in bringing thousands of fans to the launch which had been pushed back by Hurricane Ivan.

The launch took the form of a free stage show, and seemed worth the wait, as the deejay witnessed a massive turnout which filled the entire southern section of the Boulevard, barely leaving space for pedestrians to squeeze their way around.

The street became a literal maze, and the heat generated by the excited masses rose to almost boiling point levels. The real boiling however was on the stage, as the deejay squeezed an unbelievable number of artistes on to a six hour show.

It was divided into three segments. One was for the upcoming acts, the second for the established acts, and the third for the current 'stars'. Each segment witnessed its own hype too. From the early exploits of rising stars Fantan Moja, I-Wayne, Easy Wayne, Mr Perfect and others, to the soothing tones of acts like Luciano, to the rage of the final segment with Bounty Killer, Beenie Man and friends, it was packed with excitement.

Crowd support

Expectedly, the number of acts which turned up to show their support in performances was much more than time would allow. The result was some short and flashy performances by everyone except Anthony B.

He got to work a full half hour before giving it up to the scores of deejays and singers who were anxiously waiting to perform. In the end, after Anthony B officially closed, the microphone was thrown around from deejay to deejay as they gave the show their own closing.winston sill
