With summer approaching, singjay Meleik Yawdy Bwoy wanted to hit the market with a jam that would have the ladies clamoring to hit the dancefloor.
He didn't have to look far. "Island Girlz", a song he visualized 11 years earlier, was recently released by co-producers Madstorm Production and Edgiton Farquharson.
Meleik Yawdy Bwoy says the uptempo track is perfect for a time of year when the young and young at heart want to dance, dance, dance.
"This was a summer feel tune with a world appeal for all the people to hear and love. I was looking for an international appeal for the masses that could easily cross over and Madstorm has a way of making things fall into the right perspective with the music," he noted.
Meleik Yawdy Bwoy, who is from St. Ann parish in Jamaica, was inspired to write a feel-good song in 2010 while working on Union Island, located in St. Vincent and The Grenadines.
Listening to a steel pan band at the hotel where he worked, gave him an idea for a song dedicated to the Caribbean ladies who love to party. Whether it is to Eastern Caribbean soca or Jamaican dancehall.
"Is a song with something for everyone, especially the ladies. Summer is all all about dem," he said.
