Shaggy reshot the video for his #1 hit single Church Heathen, which will be released internationally on June 4th, in the Asylum night club earlier this week in New Kingston, Jamaica. The video is a continuation of the original Church Heathen video, which has gained great popularity in Jamaica and abroad and features dancehall legend Ninja Man as a priest as well as other dancehall stars Baby Cham, Spice, Red Fox and Screechie Dan. The new video opens with a dancing scene, featuring over 150 dancers including Mad Michelle, the Dallas Dancers from Portmore, Timeless Dancers (with Doctor Bird), Black Blingaz (who also made a remix to Church Heathen) and Cadillac Dancers. Jay Will (from Game Over) once again directed the video, so you can expect to see more of it in high quality soon!
Access Entertainment is going to release a definitive version of the Blazing (Blazzin’) Riddim by Shaggy’s Big Yard label later this week. The riddim will include Goodie Goodie by Screechie Dan, How Does It Feel by Rayvon, The Shaggy & Rayvon Show by Shaggy and Rayvon, Blazing by Red Foxx and a previously unreleased song by Shaggy: Wanna Be.
Shaggy also has a new song on VP Records’ Reggae Gold 2007 Bonus DVD, which is called more Woman. You can listen to a preview here. Reggae Gold 2007 which features songs by among others Sean Paul, Cham, Mavado, Elephant Man, Buju Banton, Morgan Heritage, Jah Cure, Gyptian, Tessanne Chin, I-Wayne and Alaine as well, is scheduled for July 12 release.
