The singer and songwriter of roots rock
known as Silkkey D has released his latest EP record album, “Wrapped
Up in Your Arms.” The extended-play release comprises four original
songs from the artist plus one remix, for an approximate total
listening time of 20 minutes. The widely anticipated album has been
proudly published on the Black Tiger Music independent music label
without the influence of the corporate music industry. A lively,
youthful, soulful and uplifting album full of the island spirit of
Jamaica, “Wrapped Up in Your Arms” by Silkkey D is music that
fans of any genre can get behind.
Black Tiger Music's Silkkey D has cited
as main artistic influences such legends as Beres Hammond, Bob
Marley, Jacob Miller (Inner Circle), Michael Jackson, and Stevie
Wonder. Of these, Silkkey D's most evident similarities lie with the
first three, all of whom hail from the musical hotbed of Jamaica
also.
Asked to describe the overall theme of
his latest album, Silkkey D writes it succinctly: “As long as there
is Life and Love, there is hope.”
Silkkey D, who was born in the St.
Catherine Parish of the island, has been performing music live since
the age of six, when he cut his teeth by singing solos in his
neighborhood's church choir. Graduating to dramatic and musical stage
productions by high school, it was to writing and performing his own
music which appealed most to him, and before long his first track,
“Wine,” was recorded at Black Scorpio Studios in Kingston.
“Wine” received repeated and
popular circulation on public radio, and Silkkey D's career began in
earnest. CEO of True Friends Studio, Mikey “Bumpa” Melody, also
garnered the skills of Silkkey D for his own recording, and further
encouraged the artist to continue his work in music.
Silkkey D's current official bio quotes
the book of Luke, saying, “To whom much is given, much is
required.” The bio describes the artist as a hardworking singer and
songwriter who, “takes nothing for granted and works hard to
showcase his God-given talent.” It also describes him as “the
first to arrive at the studio and the last to exit [the studio],”
and a writer of “conscious lyrics that give a voice to the
impoverished communities, as well as ballads of love.”
He has been called “a selfless person
who puts the needs of others before his own, and punctuates his
beliefs with love, delivered through his music.”
The artist's official bio concludes
with a quote from Silkkey D, himself.
“Great is the man who thinks great of
the next man.”
“Wrapped Up in Your Arms” by
Silkkey D is available online worldwide from Black Tiger Music.
