And I said

Smile girl smile

Smile for me Jamaica

Whenever you cry

Here am I

I'm here for you Jamaica

Dry your eyes

Girl smile

Many fans of the reggae sensation were smiling on October 10, 2025, when he released his sophomore album titled "Exile". The release of the album also marked his 33rd birthday and eight years after the release of his debut album "Chronology". The album arrived as a surprise drop, without a lead single, focusing on deeper, soulful roots reggae sounds and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.  Here is what Chronixx had to say about the release of his second album Exile.

"EXILE. Give thanks and praises to the Almighty life giver. Give thanks for the guidance and inspiration to become who I needed to be in order to bring this album to life. Thanks for the Human Spirit and for the victory of peace and good over evil…for resilience and togetherness…individuality. This one livicated to the 5 years our beloved Emperor spent fighting for the independence of his country and the freedom of humanity in Bath. Give thanks to my Family. Thank you for your faith and for your prayers. Thank you Kelissa for your creativity and love. This album is also livicated to my cousin Tj Hibbert who was such a light for us in the world and now you are a light in Zion. Rest with Jah young king.

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
