Check your words. This is the admonition coming from rising Reggae songstress, Reemah, to some entertainers who have no qualms about delving into debauchery and borderline pornography to claim fame and sell records.
This talented native of the island of St Croix has emerged on the entertainment scene with a refreshing stream of uplifting lyrics that augers well for the future of Reggae music, arguably the Caribbean’s most popular art form.
Her performances to date have earned uplifting reviews and Reemah has been described as a captivating artist with a striking command and stage presence. While some artistes tend to take the lazy route and voice cover versions of popular songs or are not talented enough to pen their own lyrics, this Nubian princess is of a different ilk. Her lyrical prowess and unique vocal ability is like a breath of fresh air.
This is all evident in the content of her debut album Check Your Words which was released for public consumption in July 2012 and has been blazing a conscious trail ever since. The 13 track album, is for the most part produced by Catalyst Mitchell, and also features productions by Jalani Horton of Bambu Station and Laurent “Tippy” Alfred.
In March 2016 Check Your Words was re-released by VPAL, with the addition of a new acoustic track titled ‘One Day’.
Reemah’s has thrilled audiences in Washington DC, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, California, and at venues in South America.
All that work was preparation for her latest release Crowns Up On Your Head which serves as the title track for her upcoming sophomore album.
