ALBUM DESCRIPTION

In late 2005, Sherwin Gardner gave us "Turn it Up Volume 1", and introduced the rest of the world to his new stable of artists. In the few months since the release of this best selling compilation, one name has managed to rise head and shoulders above the rest of the Flow Masters crew. Perhaps it is because his authentic tone reminds us of popular artists like Yami Bolo, Junior Reid, I Wayne or Jah Cure. However, I think that the real reason why Mr. Danny is currently riding a huge wave of popularity is because of his memorable melodies, heartfelt lyrics, genuine spirit and Sherwin Gardner's production expertise.

While this stand-out album contains mostly conscious roots reggae in a similar vein to the previously released "Divine" and "Dust Them Away", Danny also dabbles in a little raggamuffin hip hop ("Addicted" feat. Chris Mark) and dancehall ("One Day" feat. Sherwin Gardner).

This project contains some major boom-shots like the contagious "On My Way", "More of You" "I Know" and the slammin' urban remix of "Divine". Unlike so many albums that have recently come from Trinidad, this record isn't about hype. The strength in "Divine" is found in it's laid back vibe. This is mellow roots reggae on an urban tip. Mark my words: "Divine" will be one of GospelReggae's bestsellers for 2006 and beyond. Find out what all the buzz is about and pick up your copy today.
