– ‘Jamdown’, the latest album from lovers rock kingpin Sanchez, will be released on April 11 by VPAL Music.
Sanchez, best known for dancehall standards like ‘Never Dis di Man’ and ‘Loneliness’, describes ‘Jamdown’ as “extremely intimate and something almost everyone can relate to.”
He and Thompson co-wrote three of its songs — ‘Hot Girl’, ‘Disloyalty’ and ‘Jamdown’. Thompson is sole writer of the remaining tracks which includes ‘Clean Like A Whistle’ and ‘Desperate Man’.
On the title song, Sanchez bemoans the state of Jamaica, his homeland, while espousing its natural beauty and the prowess of its people. According to the singer, “I relate to the lyrics of ‘Jamdown’ deeply just because I am a true product of the place.”
In addition to Thompson, Sanchez worked with multi-instrumentalist Paul Gauntlett on ‘Jamdown’. As well as Wayne Armond of Chalice, who handled arrangements and harmonies along with Tafina Wilson.
