Two years ago, Jamaican artist desmond the songwriter got a massive boost when his debut album, 'Happiness is Priceless', placed at number 43 on Pop Magazine's Top 50 Albums of 2020.
He made a list that included albums by A-listers such as Selena Gomez, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. The singer/songwriter is back with 'Another Guess Coming', released on February 24.
The self-produced album has 11 songs. It hears desmond the songwriter working with experienced musicians such as guitarist Andy Bassford, drummer Desi Jones and saxophonist Dean Fraser.
Persons who tune into 'Another Guess Coming' will hear his eclectic leanings. 'Josephine' is a somber ode to African-American dancer/activist Josephine Baker, while 'Makes me Stronger' is a jazzy tale of unrequited love.
desmond the songwriter was born and raised in East Kingston. He lived in the middle-class neighborhood of Vineyard Town, and remembers famed bassist Robbie Shakespeare (who lived in rugged McGregor Gully) as one of his neighbors.
Although he grew up listening to a number of diverse acts, desmond the songwriter's favorite was Bob Marley. Like the reggae legend, when making an album he does not focus on making singles but recording a solid raft of songs based on reality.
"My songwriting is inspired by my personal experience and what is going on in the world," he said.
