(Vocus) August 3, 2010 — Grammy-winning “Queen of Dancehall”, Lady
Saw, Partners with Toasting Music to Release New Album, “My Way,”
Available Everywhere September 7th, 2010
LOS ANGELES, August 3, 2010 – Dancehall Queen, Lady Saw (Marion
Hall), has announced the release of her first album since 2007, “My
Way,” due out on September 7th, 2010 through new partnership with
Toasting Music, alongside her label Diva Records, distributed by
Fontana/Universal. The lead single, Party Till December, is available
digitally on August 10th, 2010.
Jamaican-born Reggae singer and “Queen of Dancehall,” Lady Saw was
the first female DJ to win a Grammy Award, and the first female to be
certified triple platinum as a result of her work on No Doubt’s
“Underneath It All” in 2003 after reaching #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot
100 Chart. Saw also received gold certification for her work “Smile”
with Vitamin C. Previous releases “Lover Girl,” “Give Me A Reason,” and
“Passion,” paved the way for her best-selling album, “Raw, the Best of
Lady Saw” in 1998, which received four and a half stars by AMG.
With the release of “My Way,” Saw brings back her famous Dancehall
beats and gritty lyrics that first gained her acclaim and widespread
popularity at Dancehall shows. The album features fourteen tracks
including lead single, “Party Till December,” which will also feature a
music video due out in late August. Other tracks include “He Is At My
House (feat, Eve),” “Every Way Mi Go,” and “I Can’t Wait (feat. Ding
Dong)”.
“Lady Saw exudes a strength and determination in her music both
lyrically and melodically that resonates with her fans. My Way continues
that sound, and will likely permeate through not just the dancehall and
reggae communities, but to Hip Hop and Dance fans as well. That makes
her a perfect fit for Toasting Music,” says Steven Weber, President of
Toasting Music.
Lady Saw will be playing a number of shows throughout the late Summer
and early Fall, including appearances at Montreal Reggae Festival
August 8th, Hot 97 ‘On the Reggae Tip’ in NYC September 3rd, and at
Miami Carnival on October 9th.
