Reo The Fresh Prince of Bouyon, album cover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bouyon artist, Reo (Dario Sebastien) has released his debut album\u00a0The<\/em>\u00a0Fresh Prince of Bouyon<\/em>, just in time for fans to familiarise themselves with his new material as he makes his WCMF debut on Sunday, October 30, 2022.<\/p>\n

Though he\u2019s been on the scene since 2018, Reo brings a fun and fresh vibe to his music that has helped to capture the attention of fans around the globe. The album\u2019s title ideally encapsulates this youthful energy and includes 13 brand new, previously unreleased tracks.<\/p>\n

For the Colihaut native, the album’s fresh appeal is a contribution,\u00a0 not only to the promotion of his music but the genre as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal for\u00a0The<\/em>\u00a0Fresh Prince of Bouyon<\/em> was simply to give a different perspective on Bouyon and show how versatile Bouyon can be. Outside people think Bouyon is just one thing but there are some love songs [on the album]\u2026 \u201c adding,\u00a0 \u00a0“I show, you know, the love side, the rough side, the money side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supporting videos will also be used to enhance this clean image of the genre, so that \u201cpeople can take us more [seriously], \u201d says Reo.<\/p>\n

The album was recorded in Dominica and features production credits from Savion, DJ Shil, DJ Taffy,\u00a0\u00a0ThaWiZzarD, Dernel Green, D0 Productions, King Slim, DJ Guy Guy, DJ Chimik, DJ Tykrys, DJ Bryce, Little Boy, and Swafet.\u00a0\u00a0Green mixed and mastered all songs, while recordings were done at Bobo Studios, Di Yute\u2019s YW3 Studios, and at ThaWiZzarD studios.<\/p>\n

Though the experience of recording the album over the last two years has been \u201ctough,\u201d he hopes that the gains will make it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent a lot of money, spent a lot of time in the studios but I believe that at the end it will all be worth it and I really hope the people that listen to the album enjoy it and at least see me as\u00a0an artist and hopefully I gain more fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reo has already made significant traction in the French West Indies (FWI) where his music is on heavy rotation on radio stations and his 2022 single \u201cDouDou\u201d spent five months on TRACE TV\u2019s\u00a0Hit Lokal<\/em>\u00a0top 20 show.\u00a0\u00a0The song has had over a million views on YouTube. His 2018 hit \u201cSa Ka Bay\u201d\u00a0featuring DJ Bling has 2.5 million views.\u00a0\u00a0He hopes to see similar results for singles from this album and promises a\u00a0slew of performances to promote\u00a0The Fresh Prince of Bouyon, <\/em>including a High School Tour, an island-wide tour (10 performances in each parish), and tours in the US and Europe.<\/p>\n
