Junior Garr
Junior Garr’s powerful debut ‘Only You’ challenges the stereotype of an independent EP just by it’s sonic maturity. This is not surprising considering this singer, songwriter, musician and worship leader has been making waves for years through various channels including; being a worship leader at London’s Ruach Ministries, The Renewal Project and Jake Isaac’s ‘I=Change’ to name a few. All this experience did not serve as a distraction but rather helped sharpen his awesome vocal range and musicianship while he quietly worked away on a collection of songs that will ultimately become a genuine definition of his relationship with his Lord and saviour.

UK Gospel – New Artist Joel Brown
In an era dominated by computer-generated beats and ‘AutoTune’ overkill, here comes a project that re-introduces the sound of home-grown, hand-picked, freshly squeezed soul music. Joel O’Neil Alastair Brown, one of the UK underground’s most exciting newcomers, releases his highly anticipated debut, Satisfaction Guarant’d.
The five-track EP (produced by Marho Ovie-Bateren) promises a few special surprises and something for everyone. Five tracks might not sound like a lot, but this EP really proves that good things come in small (digitally downloadable) packages.
With Satisfaction Guarant’d, Joel aims to make it known that true and lasting satisfaction is only guaranteed through a purposeful and intimate relationship with God. The intro track is a teaser of what is to come when Joel’s full album is released later in the year. The second track, ‘Wait on the Lord’, is a re-working of a familiar hymn. This is where old school meets new school, with guest rapper Sayo ‘Mighty’ Martin throwing down a hard-hitting eight bars of heat.
‘Can’t Help But Praise You’ is an amazingly feel-good track featuring an instrumental piano solo from producer extraordinaire Marho Ovie-Bateren. The fourth track, ‘Born to Worship’, is a reflective, introspective song that challenges the listener to consider the purpose of their existence. And finally, we have a stripped-back, heartfelt song of intimacy between man and his Creator, simply titled ‘Speak a Word’.
Satisfaction Guarant’d will be available for digital download online from www.joelbrown.co.uk and stores such as iTunes and Amazon MP3. A CD hardcopy will also be available from www.joelbrown.co.uk

Linda ‘Chocolate’ Berthier added to her increasingly impressive repertoire with the release of a single In the Way on Thursday April 29, 2010. In the Way is an infectious R&B/HIP-HOP hybrid. The starlet’s stage name comed from her smooth, ebony complexion and ‘sweet’ voice, which she has been honing since the age of 5. A voice that makes your heart and makes your soul soar. She won the prestigious award for Best Jazz Single, for her single “Feeling the Vibe” at the 2008 St. Lucia Music Awards. Now in 2010, “Feeling the Vibe” has been nominated for the Best Jazz Vocal Performance of the Year at the ultra prestigious Marlin Awards, where she picked up another nomination – that of Calypso/Soca Performance of the Year for her Single “More of You”. Chocolate is widely known for accurate and spicy background and vocals for various artistes such as Junior Tucker, Ron Kenolly, Sean Daniel, and Emrand Henry. She has boldly and creatively graced the regional and international stages, alongside artistes such as MaryMary, Deitrick Haddon, Donnie Mc Clurkin, Helen Baylor, Chevelle Franklyn, Isaac Blackman, Papa San, DJ Nicholas, Stitchie, and Jamie Thomas (MVT Tempo), just to name a few. She has hosted the Marlin awards (www.marlinawards.com), Bobby Jones Gospel Industry Retreat as Radio Host (Hollywood, Fl.) and the world premiere St. Lucia Jazz Festival main stages. Chocolate is hands down one of the top local gospel artistes in St. Lucia. This versatile young artiste also delves into the television medium. She is presently the host of the ‘Choice ACT II Movie Family Series’ on Cable Tv and took on a role in St. Lucian director Mathurine Emmanuel’s third film “Nanna’s Paradise”.
