"Reggae Sweetheart"
Kadion Lewise, better known as Omeil, is originally from Kingston, Jamaica. She is
best known to WSVNRadio as a member of its
Hall of Fame, Volume 10,
and was also voted having the best song from Volume 10 on
The Best Of The WSVNRadio
Hall Of Fame. Classifying her music as Reggae, it's actually Reggae sounding vocalization,
with today's up-to-date R&B/Hip-Hop music. Reggae Sweetheart is Omeil's debut, and
it easily fits today's Hip-Hop/Rap culture.
There are songs on Reggae Sweetheart that has a more Hip-Hop style, to those of
Reggae. This lead-off track, "Hot Girls," (a song that was featured on WSVN's Volume
10), has a more Hip-Hop feel, as well as the following tracks, "Weh U Up 2" and
"Boyrfriend." "Strive" captures the more current decade Reggae, as her
vocals throughout this album easily compares to that of Sean Paul. "Fret" mixes both
Another artist comes to mind from today's popular artists, is Shakira. "Party In The
Place" has a upbeat comparison to Shakira, and most of the songs on this CD can be compared
to Shakira as well. "Won't Stop," "Step Back," "Girls," "Safe Sex all fits the Hip-Hop
style. Likewise, "Bad Girls," "Making Your Own Money," "Hold Pan Him." "Padlock"
may have a bit of a softer side to the previous songs mentioned. The last track (hidden) is
a bonus track, "Lonely," a song that continues the Hip-Hop/Reggae style Omeil portrays
throughout her CD.
Reggae Sweetheart fits today's Pop/Hip-Hop world. Her style does not match true
Reggae artists, such as Bob Marley. The vocals of Omeil does have the Jamaican feel, as today's
Hip-Hop has artists such as Sean Paul, Shakira, and even another artist who had this "Rap meets
Reggae" vocal style, Snow ("Informer." Appealing to the more younger crowd, Omeil will
easily be a hit with today's Pop culture. Reggae Sweetheart does give you a warm feeling
as the Jamaican Reggae music has done in the past. Older folks (as myself) expect Reggae as to
that of Bob Marley, yet today's Reggae, and likewise music in general, gets an updated effect.
Artists such as Sean Paul, Shakira, and Omeil trend to the current times, by making their own
music unique, and standing out for other (younger) fans to catch their attention, and enjoy their
music.
