Rad Dixon goes hard on debut
New Year’s Day is the release date for Hard Times, singer Rad Dixon’s first album. Produced by Toronto-based Tasjay Productions, it will be out one year after his debut EP.
According to a statement from Tasjay Productions, “The songs on the album see the artiste exercising his experimental creativity while maintaining recognisability as an authentic reggae artiste.”
Times Are Hard, the lead song, is a collaboration with Luciano. Dixon also has duets with Talee on Right Portion and goes solo on True Love, Mama’s Love, On And On, and Tuff Life.
Dixon, who lives in South Florida, is from Manchester where his recording career started in 2000 as R rated. Last January, the Rastafarian artiste released the four-song EP, DJ Treasure Music Presents Best Reggae Lovers Rock Covers.
Several of Dixon’s songs, including Baby Don’t do It and Make it Right, have fared well in Toronto and South Florida.
