Shinehead Brings the Heat This Winter with New Music
Legendary Artist Drops Sought-after 'The Makings of You' Single
On Valentine's Day, music luminary
Shinehead (@kingston12hifi @original_shinehead) dropped the long awaited
"The Makings of You" single. The powerhouse release, which caused
ramblings amongst Reggae music lovers far and wide when teased a few
months ago by select DJs, is another fine musical union of Shinehead and
the legendary @peckings UK label.
An awesome offering of Lover's
Rock, "The Makings of You" sees Shinehead's vocals flawlessly peak in a
falsetto that holds listeners captive from start to finish. Although the
"The Makings of You" was released February 14, the famed artist
declares that February was chosen for the release as his musical homage
to both Reggae Month and Black History Month.
There's no question that "The
Makings of You" has the "Makings" of a hit. The beautiful song is an
ideal follow up to "Never Had a Dream Come True," which is enjoying
success on multiple charts and serves as one of 2020's best Reggae music
releases. Music fans, DJs and industry elite still can't get enough of
the heartfelt Reggae Soul tune, which served as quite the launching pad
for Shinehead and Peckings collaborations.
With two great songs circulating music spaces, the forthcoming 30th Anniversary of the anthem "Strive" (with plans for a commemorative re-release), and a number of songs getting the green light from Peckings, Shinehead's 2021 is truly looking bright. On a constant mission to entertain the masses with quality music,
the legendary artist declares, "There is work to be done."
Indisputably, Shinehead is one of
the most diverse artists to ever uphold the torch of Reggae and
Dancehall music. Actually, his musical force extends to Hip Hop and
R&B. Throughout his interviews, the humble artist constantly salutes
his contemporaries and predecessors, rarely acknowledging his vital
role in exposing Reggae and Dancehall music to mainstream audiences. But
as time displays, with timeless rock solid music that warms the ears
and hearts of listeners and a tenure that spans 4 decades, Shinehead is
undeniably a music icon.
In addition to a flurry of
traditional media and social media presence surrounding "Never Had a
Dream Come True," Shinehead and DJ Papalotl via their Kingston 12 Hi Fi
sound system wow listeners on Reggae Global Radio several days a week.
Notably, their shows are syndicated across a wide spectrum of stations.
