Beres Hammomd and Wyclef Jean A REMIX has been done for the single Dance For Me recorded by Beres Hammond and Wyclef Jean, which appears on Beres' latest album Music Is Life.
According to Mervis Walsh of Harmony House Productions, Hammond's record company, the Dance For Me will be the next single from the album and a marketing plan is being designed to get it into the urban market.
"The song has been very well received and we are thinking about doing the video to accompany it," she said.
Harmony House had already released Rock Away as the lead single in Jamaica. That song has had heavy rotation on radio and has been making its way up local charts. In England Dusty Road looks to be the single of choice as it is getting much attention from the BBC, Ms. Walsh advised.
The album Music Is Life was released on February 6 in Europe and February 7 in America.
It is the third album executive-produced jointly by Harmony House and New York-based VP Records. Prior to this, there were Love From A Distance and A Day In The Life. Official figures for Music Is Life have not yet been made available.
Beres Hammond is back home from a UK tour where all the dates were sold out. "We had to do two London dates," said Ms. Walsh. He also took his album to the Eastern Caribbean where he performed in St. Thomas and St. Vincent.
"In St. Vincent we performed to over 35,000 people. They said it was the largest crowd they had ever seen gathered since a volcano rocked the island in 1979. That show was sold out two weeks in advance," she told The Gleaner.
Wyclef Jean was at Hammond's album launch in New York, where the two had their first performance together. He has since invited Hammond to appear on his 'Spring Ting' show, which takes place in Miami on Sunday, April 8.
Beres Hammond is back in the studio working on other projects with several young artistes he has under his wings.
