Kingston, Jamaica - Jah Cure's Freedom Tour of the Caribbean has reportedly been quite successful. The tour which began in the Bahamas with Millennium Countdown on November 10 ended with Jah Cure in Concert at the Flamboyant Park in Suriname on December 29.

Jah Cure mesmerised audiences across the Caribbean during his Freedom Cure Tour.

Throughout the tour Jah Cure performed at Love Fest in St Lucia on November 30; The Next Chapter in Trinidad on December 15; Antigua Reggae Sting on December 22 and Presenting Jah Cure in the Turks and Caicos Islands on December 24.

"Over 15,000 fans came out in full force in Suriname, and the other shows elsewhere were sold out before we even landed. We were very overwhelmed by the love and respect there is for Jah Cure throughout the Caribbean both from men and women and from every aspect of the society," said Dean Dryden, Jah Cure's road manager.

Jah Cure's Caribbean tour was said to be "very emotional" both for him and his fans. It was his first Caribbean journey since his release from prison last year.

"The strains of the popular Reflections song brought some patrons to tears last Saturday (December 2, 2007) night at the National Stadium when the mystery surrounding Jamaican artiste Jah Cure was removed." - Yvette Best, The Nation newspaper, Barbados.

Not only has the tour touched on the emotions of Jah Cure's fans throughout the Caribbean, it also brought them out in their thousands. In the Bahamas, Jah Cure performed to a crowd of 15,000 in packed Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre; in St Lucia the Mendo Phillip Park was at capacity with 8,000 and in Turks and Caicos, the Williams Auditorium got its largest crowd of the year with over 4,000 patrons coming out to see Jah Cure for the first time.

"Love reigned supreme at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Port of Spain, at the weekend (December 15th 2007) as Jamaican reggae artiste Siccaturie "Jah Cure" Alcock shared his sonic antidotes for pain and suffering with more than 15,000 patrons. 'He sing everything dey,' remarked one young lady afterwards. 'All my favourite songs and more that I didn' even know so good. And he sound real 'bess' (good) and he look real good. I get my money's worth. He was definitely worth the wait. I love Jah Cure!" - Nigel Telesford, Trinidad Express newspaper.

In January, Jah Cure plans to premiere his first two videos: Sticky and Freedom. The long-awaited video for Jah Cure's number one hit Sticky, has already been shot and will be ready for release soon. He will also be releasing the video for Freedom, his first song recorded in the free world. This video is a compilation of clips from the Freedom Tour and also has clips of Jah Cure's performances in Holland and at Curefest.

"The Freedom Tour was a great experience. I was amazed and humbled to see the effect on people who love my music. I give thanks to all who came out and supported me and I plan to continue the positive message for 2008," Jah Cure said.

Also on the agenda for this month is the release of his latest song, Journey, on the Danger Zone Label.
