Singing Sweet on comeback
Reggae artiste Singing Sweet said he has been approached by overseas rappers to remix his voice from his breakout cover hit When I See You Smile , in 1992.
“A rapper out of 50 Cent’s camp did a remake of the song for a mixtape late last year, plus I have been approached by local dancehall artistes who want to do a remake of the song. Overseas, you have huge artistes like Chris Brown doing over a Red Rat song,” he said.
The singer is generating a lot of buzz with a pair of new singles, Caan Get Over You and Not a Bad Thing, featuring Chino McGregor.
“The response I have been getting has been incredible over the past month. Mi phone just blow up,” said Singing Sweet, whose given name is Paul McFarlane.
“Mi love the response mi a get inna the streets. The songs dem a play; Caan Get Over You has been added to mixtapes for Don Kingston, and Dotcom, so right now the promotion ah gwaan good,” he said.
Singing Sweet is known for the hit covers of the singles Oh Donna, a Richie Valens original; and When I See You Smile, an international smash hit for rock band, Bad English.
He is booked to perform at a couple of club shows in New York, Boston, and Miami during the next couple of months.
