Pop-reggae artiste Kaydonica Richards has been making waves with the combination single, Picking Up the Pieces featuring Jahmali. Ever since the music video had its offficial release, it has been receiving heavy rotation on all major local channels.

The song, according to the producers, is an emotional tour de force, especially for anyone who has ever undergone heartache, or families who had to rebuild after their lives were shattered by some unforeseen event.

“Picking up the Pieces really resonates with a lot of people, especially at this time with these earthquakes, and hurricanes. I have been getting a lot of positive feedback about it from people in all walks of life,” she said.

Kaydonica made her debut performance at Christopher’s last month, performing the song alongside Jahmali. She is eyeing a number of other musical projects and recently recorded two new singles — Locked Up in a Cell and Instruments of Love. Her biggest hit to date has been Colour of Your Skin which hit #1 on Roots FM radio charts last year.

“It’s just a beautiful song, and it addresses the stigma attached to the colour of your skin, the texture of your hair, and is critical of the level of prejudice in the society. The song lets you know that none of that matters, you can be anything you want, accomplish anything no matter where you live, the colour of your skin, your background, your hair…don’t see people and judge them, it’s a song for tolerance and the spirit of inclusion,” the 26 year-old said.
