ORieL and leading lady Isha Prendergast on location at Martha Brae river in Jamaica
On the heels of a successful performance at Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica and an exciting New York live interactive acoustic performance at “An Audible Affair,” international reggae artiste, Dominica-born, ORieL, gears up for the release of “Cruise” video.
“Cruise”, the successful lead single from the recently released “Love SoulJah” EP showcases a different side of the prolific socially humble artist.
A nod to the ladies, ORieL serenades as he sings “Lets cruise shut the door and open up the window cruise imma give you something to remember cruise the breeze that blows you perfume ohh me and you..”
Filmed on location at the breathtaking scenery of Falmouth and Montego Bay on the beautiful island of Jamaica, “Cruise” video was directed and edited by acclaimed Magix and co- directed by Afar Music Group.
Speaking of the experience, ORieL stated “It was a great joy to be in Jamaica filming this video for Cruise, I think the viewers will definitely enjoy the visuals. it was fun also working with director 
Dario Magix and my love interest in the video, Isha Prendergast”
The anticipated video will premiere on August 11th, 2015 on popular online magazine Reggaeville.
“All aboard lets sail to paradise tell you friends them you unavailable tonite cause ahh cruise we ahh cruise we ahh cruise through the night and we na go reach port till the morning light” – Cruise

Extra large BIG UPS to you on your achievements. Why JAMAICA? Why not DOMINICA? Are you in denial? We all must:
PROMOTE, SUPPORT and MAINTAIN our DOMINICA. Lets hope your next video will be with one of Jamaica’s top artist: KONSHENS, DING DONG, BENNIE MAN, COLLIE BUDDZ, MAVADO, GYPTIAN, JAH CURE, POPCAAN, SERANI, WAYNE WONDER and all the others that I cannot think about right now. Good luck.
PROMOTE, SUPPORT and MAINTAIN our DOMINICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations ORiel.
On the other hand, does filming the video in Jamaica make him Jamaican? Or did he represent himself as Jamaican and not Dominican? Damn if you do, Damn if you don’t. I guess the next time producers like the ones who film Pirates of the Carribbean should say they are not from caribbean decent so they should not film here. Wake up people…Support your own. Stop all this self hate!
Even if he filmed it here, what sense would it make?? DOMINICANS DON’T SUPPORT THEIR OWN! My bredda gwaan check ur scene….WHERE and when you want!
i wonder if nasio had stayed in DA wud he make it that big internationally plus look at the gross disrespect at wcm go for it bro jamaca is more upliftment by miles the same critics said many time in sport,music,engineering etc “boy if u see it was overs mr wud be big but dominica backward man” u critics who are saying he shud do the vedio in da tell me u guys never said so aye dont think i know the man never seen never heard hes music ?
me personally as a patriotic dominican i am thinking jamaica is is on the map already why deprive your country of the exposure and give it to jamaica? for that reason i will never subscribe to this video
I also want to congratulate the young man for representing Dominica with such positive music, i specially like his song ‘Confidence’ and after listening to few of his songs i can see why the rest of the world is gravitating to his music, which makes me wonder why i have not heard his songs being played on the radio here in Dominica or why we haven’t seen him performed for example on the Creole Fest.
True Vibes.

While I congratulate the young man on his achievements in music, the question I have for him is did he not think of doing the video in his land of birth Dominica. Nothing against Jamaica, but here is an ideal opportunity to promote your country.
And here is an ideal opportunity for the country of Dominica to support their own rising Reggae star in ORieL. There’s no need to divide ourselves amongst ourselves, our roots come from the same place.
I also congratulate him on his success but that was the first thing that cross my mind when reading this article. Just because his genre is reggae does’t mean he has to make his videos in Jamaica. Jamaica does’t need any more expose but DA does.
I agree. Dominica is so sweet, mr not easy. Don’t tell me he give up on da. That is the first place he should do the video.
dominican born. damn the man could have born here and lived all his life away.all you people don’t know the guys story. do you know if he ever returned to dominica after his birth here?better yet did any of you know of him and of his music career before dno posted this article?dominicans all you tooo fast!!!!! man make your music and videos wherever you want.
