International recording artiste Wayne Wonder believes that dancehall music has the potential to grow in popularity overseas; despite certain negative trends that have evolved in the genre in recent times.<\/p>\n
\u201cDancehall music has always been a hardcore genre of music, but it has become a bit too dark and excessively aggressive. Some of the current generation of dancehall artistes have the potential to take the genre to a higher level. However, they need to be mindful of the messages they\u2019re sending out into the world with their music.\u201d<\/p>\n
The No Letting Go singer continued, \u201cDancehall music is loved and respected internationally. Anywhere you go around the world you will hear it but most of what is being played overseas is from the 90s and early 2000s because a lot of the songs that are coming out now don\u2019t have that international appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also added, \u201cAnother thing we have to address is the disunity and infighting in our music industry. At first, it used to be the males fighting against each other lyrically. Now the females are doing it too, and it has taken on a new twist with this social media thing. They need to stop it man, it nuh look good.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Billboard charting singer is gearing up to drop a new single titled \u2018Jah Lift Me Up\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, on the Sponge Music label. The song which was produced by Charles Williston aka Sponge \u2018Jah Lift Me Up\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, is scheduled to be released on June 28.<\/p>\n \u201cSponge shared a story with me one day that gave me the vibes to write this song. The whole thing is just a natural energy because when he sent me the rhythm the song fit perfectly on it. I believe it will resonate with a wide audience including the younger dancehall fans because it\u2019s on a modern dancehall rhythm and it has a powerful message.\u201d<\/p>\n Wayne Wonder given name Von Wayne Charles multi-talented singer and songwriter who\u2019s known worldwide for hits such as his gold selling song \u2018No Letting Go\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, \u2018Bounce Along\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, \u2018Joyride\u2019<\/em><\/strong> with Cham, \u2018Bonafide Love\u2019<\/em><\/strong> with Buju Banton and \u2018Watching You\u2019<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" International recording artiste Wayne Wonder believes that dancehall music has the potential to grow in popularity overseas; despite certain negative trends that have evolved in the genre in recent times. \u201cDancehall music has always been a hardcore genre of music, but it has become a bit too dark and excessively aggressive.
