With the hype prior to the release of the album once again the pundits are saying that VP Records have failed to capitalise. Some are saying that too much Stephen Di Genious is on the album, some saying its just the Dave Kelly production that was sampled by TJ records that caused the flurry interest (same for serani no games) to the album and nothing else is in it. Some say its the cheezy video that was released and re-done for BET.
But I think its too early to say the thing flopped. The gully God had gotten some good reception with the hit song I'm so Special and a lot of good media coverage ... its my opinion that the buck does not stop here. As I dont think also those positive reviews and sold out shows were not just that. After being compared to the likes of Bob and said to be the best thing since the great rastaman a lot was expected from the man from Cassava Piece in terms of sales. But other issues such as the recession can take a lot of the blame here..
But at least the Mavado team could have done a bit better in terms of the video for "im so special"...
I saw a new video from Assassin for the track "same thing again" ... and im saying those who did the Serani and Mavado videos need to take a look at Assassins video ... in these times, and it has been for some time, a good video helps out a scenario...
anyway we giving it some time to see how it goes... remember you can still drop your votes on the main page .. if you have confidence that this album will soon start gain some momentum.
Check out the Assassin video... what you think..
PLEASE DO UR WORK B4 U CHAT OK, THE PERSON WHO DID MAVADO'S VIDEO IS THE SAME PERSON THAT DID ASSASSIN'S VIDEO
ReplyDeletewell dem get lazy pan di mavado one
ReplyDeleteit's not the videos the video not bad it's poor marketing, everyone knows the single but not the artist. I didn't even know when his album was coming out
ReplyDeleteIt could've used some more exclusive material too. Some of the songs on this album have been out since 2007 (chiney k. . . .hmm??)
ReplyDeleteI know it's customary for dancehall artists to release an album that has all the songs that have come out in the last year or so, but usually there's more than one or two brand new songs on it.
i get the feeling the album was put together due to the success of "i'm so special"... all in all the thing was not done for those are not buying the album.. so they could have but all tunes from 2006 on it... whatever will sell man
ReplyDeleteALL in all Kartel strike a upper cut with the song "Last man standing" and it is affecting Mavado's career.........
ReplyDeletethe album is not doing well because of all the old material on it, people want to hear new music!!!
