The collaboration between Edley Shine’s Shinealous Records and Symphonic marks a significant milestone in the esteemed artist’s career. It opens up a variety of opportunities for his label that you just don’t get as an Indie.”So far with my first release, I have had dedicated meetings with numerous departments at Symphonic,” says Edley Shine. “Their responsiveness is welcoming and new to me, as I have been an independent label owner for 20 years and up until now, no distribution company has ever given me their internal resources out the gate.”With the buzzin’, Reggae fueled “Life’s Journey” now availble across digital and streaming platforms, the first effort between Edley’s Shinealous Records and Synphonic is blazing a musical trail. Produced by the talented Sawfie Alliance, “Life’s Journey” features additional production from Grammy-nominated Roe Summerz, known for his work with artists like Beenie Man, Tommy Lee, Ding Dong, and Dustin (Skooly) Marshall. This infectious track is the first installment in a riddim series, with the full compilation set to be unveiled in the Summer of 2024. |

I shot the video in Jamaica after not going there for 6 years. This powerful Reggae record is a reconnection to my roots.”Additionally, “Life’s Journey” is a reset effort for Edley Shine, one he can add to his catalog proudly. With an acoustic version of the song as well, Edley Shine is moving closer to his goal for “Life’s Journey” being a Sunday staple in Caribbean homes, while the big meals are being prepared.Impressive responses to “Life’s Journey” by fans and DJs alike are spreading like quickfire, while driving up streams and video views. Many have taken to social media to hail the moving “Life’s Journey” with one music enthusiast declaring it perfectly as an “amazing foundation record, which captures an authentic Reggae sound, while showcasing Edley Shine’s artistic diversity and growth.”Naturally, Edley Shine is inspired by the many positive vibes being garnered by “Life’s Journey.” The International artist says, “I always seek to take the road that represents the current state of affairs when it comes to the music. Up until this year with the release of the Bob Marley movie ‘One Love’…Jamaican music was given a back seat and almost put in the trunk of the global music industry.””It’s only right that Reggae is again in the forefront, hence my release of a record I recorded over four years ago. Timing is everything,” Edley Shine adds. |
