Music producer Michael Eaton says more songs with singer Sydney Salmon are in the works, and may be released in the late summer. The two collaborated on Trees, which came out last year, and Oh Lord.

“Sydney an’ I have been talking about some new things an’ di discussions are good. There is a good chance of something happening later this year,” Eaton told Observer Online.

The Staten Island, New York-based producer, who operates the Eaton Music label, gave up on the music business in 2005. When he decided to make a comeback three years ago, Eaton did so with Salmon, a longtime resident of Shashamane in Ethiopia.

“Wi share a lot in common although we are far apart. For me, dat is important, for producer an artiste to see eye to eye,” he said.

Since his return to the music business, Eaton has released a handful of songs on Eaton Music, including the self-produced Confess and Words Without Meaning.

He has also produced Call on Me by Emil Troy and Love Has Found A Way by Misganaye Salmon.

Eaton is originally from St Ann but was raised in the St Andrew community of Barbican during the 1970s. At the time, that area was one of many in Jamaica with a sense of Rastafari, which guides the message of many of Eaton Music’s songs.
