Heatwave Shaggy interview: music, One Love Peace Festival and more
Loukia C interviewed Shaggy for Heatwave ahead of his concert at the One Love Peace Festival on July 31. Was it Shaggy or not? How has Shaggy’s music evolved and what’s the importance of cross-over music? How did Bob Marley’s music influence Shaggy? What can people expect from the One Love Peace Festival? Read the answers and much more in the Heatwave interview!

We’re looking forward to having you here in the UK, are you looking forward to performing?
“Absolutely! It’s been about five years since I have been here and actually done a concert in the UK. So you know, Wembley Arena is a fitting venue for the occasion and I think and the occasion is fitting as it’s for a good cause. The best way to stop violence is through music: the celebration of music is a celebration of peace, love and harmony.”

As you mentioned, the One Love festival is supporting a campaign against gun and knife crime. Is this something you feel strongly about?
“Well there’s always been an issue about these things in dancehall and West Indian culture in itself, so yes. A lot of people have thought of dancehall as the music of violence and guns and homophobia. But I remember when reggae music was the music of sun, fun, peace, love and weed; you know what I mean?

Is it important to cross over?
Absolutely! We have to engage with it. When a hip hop artist goes on tour you see all these big sponsors for them but this doesn’t happen for reggae artists. We need to get a level of consumerism for reggae music.

And your new album Summer In Kingston – what was the stimulation for that?
You’re going to love it and you’re going to live with it. It’s a real feel good album. It’s only got eight tracks and will only be released digitally.

The first single, Sugarcane, is a catchy little number…
Yes! It’s that cheeky, tongue in cheek, ambiguous type of song with a comedic undertone, which is true of Shaggy. When you listen to it it’s uplifting – it’s feel good music. It’s a new Shaggy, with a new vibe.

Shaggy supports new mentoring system
Shaggy and the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, are teaming up to launch a new mentoring system, to encourage more Londoners to become mentors, at City Hall at 9.30 AM today!

“Once you’re in a position of prominence, you will be a social role model,” he says. “But role models aren’t just celebrities. Role models are in your everyday life.

A quote from the interview: How would describe the sound and special style for this new Summer in Kingston album? What made you decide to go for a digital album?

Summer in Kingston
I just wanted to create a real feel good album, when you’ve been doing it for as much time I as I have, you want to re-invent and do something that still lives. It’s a digital album and the best part is, I’m giving you a recession price – $2.99! A sign of a appreciation more so than anything, I just wanted to get everybody back, involved, feelin’ it and lovin’ it.

Next year: physical cd release with more songs to be added!
It’s a 2 year project that we are having, we will eventually put the hard copy out with more tracks to it. At the moment there are 8. Sugarcane is the first single which is doing really well over here in the states, lots of buzz, lots of vibes…. we’re doing our thing, so fingers crossed. Read more.
