Amy Winehouse ...Rejected, Luciano ....Charged


The reggae flavoured album that controversial UK artiste Amy Winehouse have been working on for the pass couple of months was recently rejected by her label Island Records. The album was mostly written and recorded in St. Lucia in the Caribbean, where she had spent most of her time.
It was more or less speculated that Winehouse would have gone to Jamaica to give the album ..some "original reggae flavour".. but it seems that dint took place and perhaps contributed to the flat rejection of the album, perhaps.

Winehouse known for a her soulful tracks ..was apparently trying to do something a bit different, something that had worked well for other artiste like No Doubt, who did a reggae flavoured album a couple of years ago.
I don't know we the public need to hear it to judge the thing, these guys think they know what will ..or will not work. Reggae is in the air at the moment Serani, Gyptian, Mavado ..Taurus etc have a nice market out there ..but perhaps the Winehouse fans base, which is much greater dont even know what the font is reggae.

'Jah Messenger' Luciano Charged
In other Reggae matters... Reggae Icon Luciano ..was charged with harbouring a criminal and will appear in court on April 9.
The now dead badman known as 'conqueror' was said to have been wanted for a number of murders and other crimes. He was hired as a security personell by 'Jah Messnger' who was involved in an near death scenario with Freckles, hence the need for strong security.
