Michelle “Miche” Williams on World Cup Compilation Album

It has been a long time, but Michelle “Miche” Williams of Catalyst Music is back with a new track called “Run (National Pride)”. The song is featured on Faluma Africa/Faluma Records’ compilation album for the 2010 World Cup entitled “Laduma” which was released on May 14th, 2010. Miche produced the song for Catalyst Music and it was written by herself and Tony Brown of Mad Architect Music (who also mixed and mastered the song).




This is Miche’s debut single as a solo artist, her most famous collaboration being the melodic “Trinidad” with Jah Bami and Red Lyte. She is no stranger to the production-side of things though, and she is still the only female producer in the industry, working with some of the top Caribbean Artists such as Benjai, Dawg E. Slaughter, Michelle Sylvester, Gailann, and Maximus Dan to name a few.

Show your national pride and support for the compilation, you will not be disappointed. It is available for purchase on iTunes: h, and many other online retailers.



Look out for more releases from Miche and an upcoming riddim from Catalyst Music in the near future. Formerly Catalyst Entertainment, they are back in business under the new name Catalyst Music. For more information, email catalystentpr@yahoo.com.

SOPHIA BROWN RE-ENERGIZES SOCA FANS AT MASS CAMP

Making her official debut on a carnival stage last Wednesday evening, reggae recording artist Sophia Brown could do no wrong when she performed at the final installment of the weekly Socacize event Bacchanal Treasures staged at the Mass Camp venue.



Brown who came prepared to give a good performance was appropriately attired in her jeans shorts with black boots as she left patrons with a glimpse of her whining abilities while performing her latest chart topping hit single "Gimmie That Good Love" a production of her Music Mecka Record Label. After getting the attention of the massive crowd Brown called on stage her longtime friend and music acquaintance reggae singer Anthony Que who kept the soca hungry crowd busy with positive lyrics from his street hit "Leggo Mi Head".

In other news Sophia Brown continues to maintain a presence on local reggae charts, this time moving up the HYPE TV VTX Charts with her single "Weak To You" currently at #4 ahead of Romain Virgo with "Who Feels It Know It" at #5, Buju Banton "Optimistic Soul" at #6 and Leftside with Transformer Remix at #7.

I don't understand how Ricky T did not make it since he is the reigning Soca Monarch of St. Lucia.

And Benjai pulls out of the competition. He had already made it as far as the sem finals.
