Shadrock’s Moving Forward with first album |07 May 2005

Well-appreciated by Seychellois music lovers for his deep voice on Allan Camille’s reggae ballads, Shadrock has produced a 14-track album which, he says, will be greatly appreciated by Seychellois.

A mostly reggae album, Moving Forward kind of satisfy everyone’s music taste because Shadrock has included other styles like dance hall, hip hop, hard rock and soca. Soca Fever is already being played on SBC’s Paradise FM.

Some of the other songs on the album are Hold It Down, Shotta, Wrap It Up, What’s Your Name, Love in Your Eyes.
When talking about the songs, Shadrock, who has accompanied Full Vibes on the band’s three albums – People Get Ready, U. S. A and Critics – said that he has dedicated the track Labor For Learning to students, asking them not to give up their studies because education is the only way out.

The track Love in Your Eyes is another special dedication to all the ladies.
According to Shadrock, who plans to put up a musical show here soon to launch his album, through music, which is a gift from God, he is trying to send out messages of love and healing and is at the same time calling on the world to stop violence.

Shadrock had words of thanks for all Seychellois for supporting him, especially those who approached him and shared their views with him about his potential as an artiste.

“Being in Seychelles and meeting Seychellois made me realise that I’m a good singer and I thank Seychelles for that,” Shadrock told Weekend Nation’s Arts Page in a telephone conversation.

He said that he would not have been able to produce the album without the support of his fans who can visit the site www.utopiarecords.com for more information about the CD and purchase the artiste’s posters and T-shirts.

It is to note that three of Shadrock’s new releases have reached the charts in Toronto, Canada.
They are Hold it Down, which paints the history of violence among black people in the United States of America and Canada and calls for a stop, Shotta and Labor for Learning.
