I initially thought yo this is siiik ....
I investigated and found that it was a song that Oriel initially recorded with Ras Maisha and later re-did with Pittsburgh Hip Hop artist De'von. At the time it was a project spear headed by our associates over at Afar Music Group.
I liked the song, but I thought this needs to be a straight reggae track
After a few meetings and discussions all parties involved agreed that this should be a lamar clan reggae project.
To summarise what happened after this point:
I contacted Bugle, he recorded his verses, we released the song (available on itunes and all digital outlets http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/my-love-feat.-oriel-single/id496939959) and in January we all flew to Miami to shoot the video.
ok fast forward to this past week.....
We had the official premiere of My Love in Pittsburgh which was also a listening party (this gave patrons a chance to hear some of our upcoming projects)
Check out this article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette http://old.post-gazette.com/pg/12138/1232518-388-0.stm?cmpid=newspanel0
We also gave away this Lamar Clan Sampler cd http://instagr.am/p/KvWFvJkpRf/
Believe me you are missing out until you get the opportunity to hear these tracks (thats was my suspense builder lol)
The event was a huge success, the people in attendance (mostly press, music industry people and reggae patrons) were wowed by Oriel's first performance anywhere, they were delighted by some of the new music they heard in their ears, the Royal Caribbean catered food took their tastebuds on a caribbean vacation, and they got to be the a part of the selected few, the FIRST to see the OFFICIAL MY LOVE VIDEO.
Donsville from DMG the actual mastermind behind the video was in attendance and he shared his vision and introduced the video. Wadria Taylor from Style and Steel Event Planning (the obvious planner of the event) and myself hosted the event and kept it moving along and after the video was shown Oriel joined us on stage and we answered the many questions on people's minds.
It was an event that would make all Lamar Clan supporters very proud (check out the photos http://pittsburghreggae.net/pics/thumbnails.php?album=15 )
