See it Deh, the new album from roots singer Ras Shiloh, is scheduled for release on July 26 by Reggae Vibes Productions. It is produced by Michael “Jah Mikes” Coburn, head of that New York-based company.
Best known for songs such as Are You Satisfied and Child of A Slave, Ras Shiloh said he again depended on the “energy an’ di vibes” to guide him on his latest album, which has seen three songs released to date. Those are the title track, Tears From my Eyes and On My Ship.
The Brooklyn, New York-born singer, who was a member of Tony Rebel’s Flames Promotions camp, has earned a strong following due to consistent touring and recording.
“All praises to the Almighty, yuh nuh, I an’ I sing good songs through di years, so all praises to the Most High for keeping us working, wi always moving around, always traveling an’ doing di Almighty’s work. Is like a ceaseless movement, dat’s why it pays to make good music dat last di test of time,” said Ras Shiloh.
This is Coburn’s 30th year as a producer. He has worked with acts such as Beres Hammond, Luciano, Jah Mason and Wayne Wonder.
Coburn is best known for co-producing Courtney Melody’s monster hit, Modern Girl, and producing Ky-Mani Marley’s Many More Roads which was nominated for a Best Reggae Album Grammy in 2002.
Ras Shiloh emerged during the roots-reggae revival of the early 1990s. Are You Satisfied, recorded on Flames’ massive Lalabella rhythm gave him the breakthrough in 1996. Two years later came Child of A Slave, produced by Donovan Germain.
