Dominicans team up with regional artistes to produce compilation

Brown Eyes RidimTwo of Dominica’s rising stars are featured in a deejay’s mixed compilation with other regional artistes dubbed ‘Brown eyes Riddim: volume 1’.

2010 Q Talent Search Winner, Asher Thomas and Boyoun Singer Skinny Banton form part of the compilation along with BET Spring Bling 2013 Contestant, Grenadian Valene Nedd and   Jamaican Advocate Recording Artiste, Jodian Pantry.

Founder of Allegro Worldwide and the compilation’s Executive Producer, Yuri A. Jones, said in a press release that the new release is testimony of hard work.

‘The new release represents the culmination of more than one year of hard work and sacrifice.

“The artists poured their all into this project and I can assure you that their diligent efforts are accurately reflected in the final product’.  Jones stated.

The promotion of the compilation began with an interactive video of a deejay’s mix of the songs and can be seen on YouTube.

The actual video shoot has been commissioned by a marketing and promotion company and will be released soon.

The Brown Eyes Riddim will be available for purchase via online retailers such as iTunes and Amazon Music from April 12th, 2013.
