RC's 'Say It Loud' radio-friendly


RC - file

In this weekly Mus' Buss Caan Buss song review feature, three musical minds will analyse each song and will grade it on vocal ability, lyrics, musical arrangement and appeal. Songs that make the grade will be dubbed 'Mus' Buss', while songs that flop will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.

The three reviewers welcome feedback from the artistes and the public about the column. Send your comments to bussdem@hotmail.com or mail in your songs to 'Mus' Buss' at the Gleaner Company, 7 North Street, Kingston. This week the mus' buss/caan buss team will be reviewing RC's Say It Loud.

Lady Boo: "Him sound like Dwayne Stephenson."

Witch: "No sah, Dwayne sound a bit betta; his voice is more trained. This has a conscious vibe still which is a good for a Magnum Kings and Queens finallist."

Lady Boo: "He sung this on the show but it sounds better now that it produce and sawt out. Mi actually like the whole message."

King Kong: "Yeah man, mi like di lyrics; she fi say it loud. It bad, mi like it. Him sound like one of dem likkle African man deh."

Witch: "Is something mi can hear a play pon radio, especially Irie, and people will be singing along and maybe in an easy segment in a dance."

King Kong: "Big up the European people - dem will like it."

Lady Boo: "When mi really a hear it the chorus really a stick wid me."

Witch: "Yeah, it's catchy, and nice that it's something cultural rather than slack."

Lady Boo: "Di background singers cool too, although the riddim a nuh nutten big it can rock to."

Witch: "True, some nice interments that you could really pick out would mek this song shot some more."

Lady Boo: "Wish him woulda place more emphasis on the verses though, cause him a hear di chorus very loud but mi nah really hear wha him a seh in the verses."

Witch: "Yeah, wid his voice, a little bit more clarity is something to work on."

King Kong: "Is a nice jazzy song and mi think quite a few people will appreciate it, the melody it have and the topic weh it deal wid. A one of dem early juggling buss deh. Nice first tune."

Witch: "Yeah it's a in-the-streets buss for me as well - a in-the-taxi kinda song and on the radio in the mornings vibe."

Lady Boo: "It clean enough for radio so I guess it will get some amount of play there, cause quite a few people did like him from Magnum Kings and Queens. Mi nuh sure how much it a go inna di dancehall itself."
