Jaqee releases
'Headfall'
According
to the latest information from Jaqee's management, she is
completing the necessary arrangements prior to her debut album
release.
"For a teaser we have uploaded the beautiful song Headfall, a
soul and reggae mix, (Both video and audio) on http://jaqee.com
It has also started getting airplay on different Swedish FM & TV
channels".
Jaqee who is Ugandan has
established herself on the contemporary soul scene in Sweden.
Further plans are being made to release the album in her home
country Uganda, where she feels she will make a difference,
especially to the young community. Her official website,
www.jaqee.com has just been updated and now features video,
audio, wallpaper and a lot more.
Jaqee is finally releasing a single
from her long-awaited upcoming debut album. The single was
recorded in Sweden’s second largest city, Gothenburg, a city
that she knows well and has been living at for 14 yrs. There,
she became friends with the guys that have been part of her past
5 yrs in music, BLaO.
Jaqee was originally featured on both of the compilations that
BLaO released in the years 2000 and 2002. For the past 1-˝
years, Jaqee has spent time putting together songs for her Album
‘Blaqalixious’ (name at work). It is an album that will take the
listener through an interesting journey lyrically, vocally and
emotionally. The artist tells about how she had to search really
deep down for the strength to be honest with self, while penning
the various songs on the album.
“It took me a while, but I am satisfied with the achievement. I
am blessed to be able to do this” she says
The current Single, ‘Headfall’, was originally released on the
BlaO the album, the 1st of the two releases. This was a
land-marking album for English speaking hip-hop community in
Sweden. The album was well received, but somehow ‘Headfall’
Never made it to a wider audience.. So Jaqee decided to go back
to the studio and re-record the song, updated it and release it
as a single
Also backing it up is the very simple but beautiful Headfall
video. The video was shot on the west coast of Sweden.
Approximately 1hrs drive from Gothenburg city. Though it looks
bright and shinny, the actual situation was pretty cold. The
crew, which was all female, consists of directors from stitch
productions and Jaqee’s favorite photographer, Sarah Cooper.
Sarah has worked with Jaqee for a couple of years and the two
get along well. More of her work just like the rest can be seen
at www.jaqee.com.
“We are glad to inform you also that the track and video will be
uploaded on www.jaqee.com”, adds Jaqee. The track will be
available for down load FOR FREE, while the video will be up
only for view. There are two versions to the track. The first a
remake by BlaO (JAZZY SOUL), then the second, a brilliant reggae
remix.
The reggae remix was done by, Patrik Alexanderson aka ‘Partillo’,
a
long
time companion of jaqee’s. Together they managed to put together
the banging remix. You can also find Partillo when not in the
studio, playing drums. He is namely Jaqee’s band’s drummer and a
resident dj at Club Studio One in Gothenburg.
