The song, the lead single from his just-released album, Second Coming, popped up on the Mixx 102 New York Foundation Radio Network Top 30 music chart last week, jumping to number 29.
"I was kinda surprised when I got the news, but I had been getting a lot
of positive feedback regarding the song from radio stations all over
the world. So this shows that the song is connecting with international
audiences," he said.
Chaka Demus donned his producer's hat for
this solo-release project, so he feels a great degree ofpride for the
project's success.
"Well, with this project, I wasdefinitely
incontrol. Nobody couldtell yuh to do what yuh don't want to do ...
everything work off my vibes, so the positive feedback gives me a lot of
satisfaction," he said.
Being in control of Second Coming
allowed Demus to select an all-starcast of first-ratemusicians such as
Joshua Michael Manning,keyboardist Paul 'Wrong Move' Crosdale, guitarist
Mitchum 'Khan' Chin, drummer Wilburn 'Squiddly' Cole, Jazwad,and bass
player Danny 'Axeman' Thompson.
It was not all smooth sailing
during production on Second Coming which began three years ago. At one
point, Demus dropped eight of the tracks because he was not satisfied
with their quality.
"After dat, mi jus' tek mi time an' mek sure mi get things right," he said.
Chaka
Demus gets "things right" with standout tracks such as Miserable Woman,
featuring Pliers and the lover's rock classic Baby Come Back, tracks
thatmake this album a must-have for dancehall fans.
He makes an appeal for universal love with All A Wi, celebrates the gift of
life with Life Is Good featuring JoJo Mac, and raises his voice in gratitude to the Almighty with Give Thanks. Chaka Demus turns back the hands of time on an uptempo dancehall beat with Big Party, where he reminisces on his champagne-splashing hard-partying days.
On this 14-track album, Chaka Demus does a number of combination songs
as he experiments with different dancehall and reggae sounds, and the
results are phenomenal,most notably with JoJo Mac. But he also teams up
with talented newcomers such as Classical Eska, Alexis Layne, Kush-I for
the ska-influenced Today's The Dayand Miss T, for well-produced tracks.
The
album is released by the Fire and Ice label, co-owned by Chaka Demus
and longtime friend Winston Solomon. It was Solomon who co-wrote Tease
Me, one of the hit songs from All She Wrote, the 1993 gold album that
launched the international careers of Chaka Demus and Pliers.
Produced
by Sly and Robbie, Tease Me was among a record six songs from All She
Wrote that entered the British national chart. The feat earned Chaka
Demus and Pliers worldwide fame and a slot as opening act for UB40.
Chaka
Demus and Pliers had successful solo careers before teaming up in 1991.
Their first song together was the Ossie Hibbert-produced Gal Wine, one
of the numbers that eventually made the British pop chart.
A
string of hit singles followed - Murder She Wrote, Tease Me, Twist And
Shout, Gal Wine, and many more. The album made number one in the UK.
Twist And Shout landed the pair a spot in theGuinness Book of World
Records.
