Reggae recording artiste and philanthropist Laurell Nurse, known as Mye Laurell, is channelling her inner Diana Ross with her new single It’s My House produced by respected artiste and producer Richie Stephens under his Pot Of Gold production label.

The It’s My House track is a reggae cover of Diana Ross’s 1979 single with the same name.

Interestingly enough the track was never Mye Laurell’s first choice as she wasn’t even familiar with the single until Richie Stephens recommended it.

“I never even heard the song before Richie introduced it to me honestly. He said my speaking voice reminded him of Diana Ross and he knew I could do it justice. When I actually heard it I immediately fell in love with the style and knew it fit my personality very well,” Mye Laurell explained.

This is not the first time she has done a cover version of a previously released track. A cover of Gregory Isaacs’s popular Night Nurse single was done in 2016 by the artiste.

“Cover versions pay homage to great tracks from eras past, so I definitely love covering great music from any genre. Giving a reggae cover to a pop song is even more important because you are adding that Caribbean element and it has to be done with care,” Mye Laurell added

Of note, however, she was already a fan of Diana Ross’s classy, sultry, light-speech style; a mix of modest seduction with elements of a fiery soul — characteristics Mye Laurell feels are mirrored in her own personality.

Born in Kingston, Mye Laurell’s journey has been as dynamic and soulful as her music. A proud alumna of St Andrew High School for Girls, she later migrated to the United States, became a mother to a beautiful daughter, and pursued a career as a professional nurse. Yet, throughout every chapter of her life, music remained her constant companion and true calling.

Versatile and fearless in musical exploration, she took her first professional step years ago with a duet alongside Delly Ranx, which earned her the New Jersey Reggae Award for Best Female Singer (2007).

“I took a long hiatus from being an artiste and was focusing on building the female-cantered award ceremony, QORIHC [Queens of Reggae Island Honorary Ceremonies], which returns in 2026. Singing with Gem Myers recently reminded me of how much I loved singing and performing, so that was when I reached out to Richie Stephens to do some work with me.” the artiste shared.

The It’s My House single also fits well with Mye Laurell’s artistic persona of mixing a mature mind with a youthful heart.

The context of the It’s My House track should resonate well with pop and reggae lovers worldwide as it personifies personal space, respect, and boundaries, while giving a hidden subliminal message of self-love and self-worth.

Mye Laurell has already released visuals for the sultry single and is currently in Jamaica to promote the project before heading to New York for additional promotional opportunities.

It’s My House is the first release from the Pot Of Gold rhythm project that will include additional acts to be released later this year.
