SINGJAY Jahdore has released Nah Let Me Go as the follow-up single to his recent number one track This Love Is Over.

In commenting about the single, Jahdore said “The song is really talking about the new woman in my life and the kind of person that she is.” The song was produced by Courick Clark for Heartcour Production/Rountoun Music Production.

Jahdore has been on the up in recent months having gained a growing fan base both locally and overseas. He has also acquired the

services of a management team in the form of Deon Campbell of Rountoun Music Production.

Jahdore believes the success of This Love Is Over is just a taste of what is to come. “It feels great knowing that your first song reaches number one and it is even a greater feeling to see that it is number one on a Caribbean countdown. It motivates me to continue doing great music and this is a big step towards what I am aiming to achieve,” said Jahdore.

This Love Is Over is featured on the Ultimate Reggae/Dancehall 2011, the compilation by various artistes from Tads International.

Jahdore recently returned to the island from promotional appearances across the United States.

Additionally, he is featured in the latest issue of the USbased urban publication ACE Magazine.
