As he prepares to release his second album late this year, Chabano Nkani gives listeners a taste of things to come by releasing singles. Woman of My Dreams, which came out in May, is the latest to hit the market.

A salute to black women, it is written by the Connecticut-based singer who also produced it for his Isle Of Springs Records.
Woman of My Dreams is the follow-up to Close to You which was released in January. Chabano Nkani told the Observer Online that as an Afro-conscious person, it is important he does songs that uplift his race.

“I strongly believe that it is incumbent on us as a people to project the group in general and the black woman in particular, in a positive light. The black woman must always be encouraged, inspired, and aspire to reach her true potential,” he said.

The upcoming album maintains a productive career for Chabano Nkani, who was born Richard Brown in Kingston and has been a recording artiste for 20 years.

Phases, his first album, was released in 2017.

Showers of Blessing, Cover Me and Father are some of his other songs. Showers of Blessing was done for In The Streetz Records, which was one of the leading labels in Jamaica during the early 2000s.

Chabano Nkani has also produced songs for other artistes including T.O.K, Warrior King, Luciano, Natural Black, Half Pint, Kirk Davis and Hawkeye.
