Just over six months after winning the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall 2008 competition, Singer Jah and Baby Tash are showing that they are poised for growth.
Register and Mix Up are what the first Magnum King and Queen of Dancehall, Singer Jah and Baby Tash have unleashed, respectively, through Real Jam Records, as their first successful singles.
The songs, which have been getting airplay on various radio stations, got their official premiere at the launch of the 2008-2009 season of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall.
Both artistes worked with top producers in the music industry to create high-quality videos for their respective singles. The videos premiered on the Entertainment Report recently and also had their debut on TVJ's Intense. Singer Jah had the opportunity to work with Mellissa Llewellyn as producer and J Will as director for Register.
Heartbreaks
Baby Tash on the other hand worked along with
producer Carlene Samuels and Kimala 'Lala' Bennett as director for Mix Up.
"The video itself is a part of the song; both of them combined are good, and the video really reflects what the song is about. It sell off," opined Singer Jah of his song and video, which illustrate the pain caused by a woman who breaks the heart of her male companion.
Baby Tash revealed that she chose the single Mix Up particularly because of the reactions that the crowd had toward the song. "The song is really about people who pay more attention to other people's lives than their own," said the deejay, who confesses to being a little shy.
When prompted about the expected success of Singer Jah and Baby Tash, Executive Producer of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, Mark Kenny, said that he was proud of how the artistes were progressing and was looking forward to seeing them going places. "I'm very proud of the level of success so far for Baby Tash and Singer Jah since they took the top spots, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them take off successfully in Jamaica and going International."
