Timeka/ Busy Signal to launch hot music video before Jamzone

For this August holidays Timeka has switched gears from the one drop tracks for which she has become known to a high energy, sassy and sporty sound. News from Jamaica is that even as she continues her quest to hit the music main stream she’s upped her game yet again with a music video out of the land of reggae and Dance Hall.
A main feature among artistes the likes of Peetah Morgan, Busy Signal, Barbee and Vegas for the Jamzone Dance Hall/ Reggae Splash Timeka is promising much to her local fans.

After several weeks of unofficial play on local and Jamaican radio stations Marshall’s spicy ‘feel fuh’ dancehall single featuring Jamaican  artiste Busy Signal is set for official release as a prelude to the inaugural JamZone Summer Break Weekend.

With Feel Fah produced by Shane C Brown of Juke Boxx Productions Timeka demonstrates her vocal range while sparring with Busy Signal.

The video for this, ‘sure party starter’ with all the professional workings included is completed filming and editing in Jamaica and is a contagious must see.

Based on comments from   those in the music fraternity the video in terms of location, dancers, choreography and setting is by far more captivating that any video from a Guyanese artiste. It also brings out a side of Timeka never before seen in any of her previous music videos. Showing all the signs of a maturing artiste who is focused on what she wants she breaks into the mode of a dancer and tastefully sexily so.

The video quality is a must see that local artistes should strive for and in some instances it betters any  of those produced by local and Caribbean female dance hall singers. The feel good song brings out the energy through superb choreography that appeal to persons of all ages.

Word from Jamaica is that Timeka has been gearing up for summer by recording a number of radio friendly tracks that have started hitting the airwaves.

Fans can listen out for Timeka’s deejay skills on Doesn’t Matter on the Equiknoxx produced Monkey Business riddim currently in rotation.  The Timeka hit list also includes The Way You Love Me from Penthouse and another track from Juke Boxx on the Road Crusher riddim titled Move On.

Earlier in the year, Timeka blasted to the top of the video charts with All Night, produced by Stephen ‘Di Genius’ McGregor and directed by Jay Will. Timeka followed up with a provocative collaboration with Peetah Morgan on the Juke Boxx produced Indiscretions riddim.

Her Hush track and his Secrets track were combined for a video medley directed by Gareth Cobran. Both tracks demonstrated her skills as a one drop singer.

Timeka’s increased production effort is part of a plan coined by her management team Pyramid Music Group and their strategic production associates, Juke Boxx Productions.  The Barbados and Jamaican based entities have partnered to guide the career of the Guyanese born singer.  Under the terms of the partnership, Pyramid and Juke Boxx will jointly collaborate on the musical and artistic direction of the artiste.

The team has not held back and neither has Timeka.  In addition to a slew of releases in Jamaica bound for international recognition, Timeka has several endorsement deals in Guyana, including a major association with GT&T Cellink.   Plus she also recently landed an endorsement deal with international eye wear company Oakley. And, later this summer, fans can look out for Timeka in not one, but two new videos.

“We didn’t even know about each other’s song, and it’s really uncanny that the two songs are talking about the same thing. Crazy props to Shane Brown and Peter for spotting it and making the joint video happen,” Timeka said.
