Kingston, Jamaica, APR 15, 2015 -- Jamaican Recording Artist ELDIE ANTHONY of the Reggae Embassy has made history for not only himself but the genre of Reggae and Jamaica as well. He is the first up-and-coming artist in the world who has ever released a full length debut double album at the launch of his career.
His album entitled BREAK FREE consists of two sides. Side one is entitled BREAK FREE – REGGAE VIBRATION Eldie Anthony iTunes Cover Break Free - Reggae Vibration which was developed strictly for the Reggae lovers who want authentic Jamaican music with no influence of mainstream music. Both albums were produced by Eldie Anthony and Music Embassies’ Executive Christina Grand. However, many tracks were co-produced with composer/producer Askell of Vision House Records and Eldie’s cousin, David “Jukie” Leckie. Both gentlemen are extremely talented musicians who have been highly supportive of Eldie Anthony’s musical journey and are Reggae Embassy clients as well. Music Embassies’ Musical Director and vocal trainer, Adriana Zabala, co-produced with Ms Grand on the song entitled, “Shut It Down” on the Yaadstream side of the album.
The second side of the album is entitled BREAK FREE – YAADSTREAM. The word Yaadstream had been created by Eldie Anthony and Christina Grand to describe the fusion of Jamaican and Mainstream music. They had presented the title of the fusion genre to the Music Embassies’ board which has been accepted by the Music Embassies and the official Embassy of the Reggae Industry; Reggae Embassy. It is now considered as the official new title of the fusion genre which combines Jamaican music with Mainstream music such as Pop, Hip Hop and R & B. Eldie Anthony’s album, “Yaadstream”, consists of exactly just that and was the perfect title for the album which solidifies the genre’s name.
