Completely Random Thoughts..... I mean COMPLETELY!

 

Okay so, congratulations to SOJA, who took home their very first Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album for "Beauty In The Silence". It was their third nomination and as I said in my entirely inaccurate Grammy Preview, I wasn't TOTALLY shocked that they came away with the award, in theory. I've seen some who were FAR less than thrilled that SOJA that won but, in my humble opinion, Reggae music is a music for everyone. It belongs to everyone and no one at all. So biggup SOJA and, again, congratulations (and congratulations to Koffee for her win in 2023 as well). 

For some reason, I've suddenly become re-addicted to this six season old Patrice Roberts tune.

"NOT AN OUNCE OF SHAAAAAAAAAAAME!"

And for nearly a decade and a half I've  been working through my dependency on Fay-Ann Lyons' 'Get On'.... simply one of the greatest Soca songs of all time.

And speaking of Soca: I don't know what the album of the year (Koffee is the current leader of the pack, nine months left to go) or artist of the year or anything of the year for 2022 will be when all is said and done... but I'm fairly confident that I know what the album cover of the year will be. Look at this thing! 

If you're wondering (and you should be), the music on the Timeless Riddim from Advokit Productions (through Fox Fuse), is very nice as well with Destra taking top honours in my opinion with 'Farewell'.

And maybe Lila Iké is taking care of Video Of The Year with her latest, 'True Love'. DAMN!
