THE UPRISING ROOTS

The popular Uprising Roots Band recently released two singles that have found favour with North American and European radio stations all over the two continents as well as in Jamaica. The two singles, Brightest Light and Skyfiya were both written and produced by Uprising Band and recorded at their studios.
    The two latest singles are true examples of reggae music complete with rustic, rhythmic beats and uplifting, and righteous lyrics. The singles are being received well in Reggae-loving markets around the world, which should come as no surprise.
    Displaying their well-known versatility on the Brightest Light and Skyfiya, this brings to three the amount of singles the band has released and according to the band’s manager Darren Hamilton, “there’s much more to come”. Their first single, Know Yourself (released on the Musik For Life riddim), is also well known locally and in those regions.
“From the very first chord, one can tell the two songs are true representations of the genre of reggae, and while The Uprising Band does well, they are much more than a ‘reggae’ band,” Hamilton said.
      “The Uprising Band is a complement of a talented set of musicians, who are really very much in love with the many ways they can please the ear, uplift the mind, and soothe the soul with their music and creativity. These two new singles are a representation of that love for music,” he added.
It is true that the band effortlessly channels a remarkable kind of energy and meld together instruments and vocals to stamp their own style on whatever project they undertake and this makes their music especially memorable.
Hamilton extolled these virtues, saying that the six-piece band is “simply and beautifully multifaceted”. He continued the band would be doing much more recordings into 2010, and is getting ready to release their long awaited and much anticipated debut album later this year, giving reggae music lovers “more of the same from The Uprising Band… which is never ever the same”.
   “The intent of the music is to uplift people. Our music is really to revitalise souls, to energise essences, to invigorate minds and to provide some form of comfort, hope, and inspiration to listeners. That’s what music is about, and that’s what The Uprising  Roots Band intends to do”.

The Uprising Roots Band delivers Skyfiya video,

THE UPRISING ROOTS
Still riding on the increasing success and popularity of their two latest singles, Brightest Light and Skyfiya, the Uprising Roots Band last week premiered the video for the single Skyfiya on Jamaican television, and has been getting good reviews about the project.
With the song already popular in reggae markets such as North America and Europe, the video is set to trek the path made by the roots reggae single when it was released last month.
The video premiered on Jamaican cable television, and is making its way into the mainstream schedule of rotations, something that manager Darren Hamilton attributes to the "realness and feel of the video".

"The song Skyfiya is a real and true reggae song that is sweeping reggae markets around the world. We're pleased with how well the song is picking up, and the video will help to give it that much more push to take it to the next level," Hamilton said.
He continued that like the single, which was recorded, written, and produced by the band at their studios in East Kingston, the video is poised to please music and reggae lovers.

"What is true is that The Uprising Roots Band has a sound and mastery of that sound that gives them a real, raw, authentic reggae flavour. The band loves making music, they love every aspect of producing and creating music, and they are a set of extremely talented and diverse musicians," Hamilton remarked.

The Uprising Roots Band makes music to uplift and invigorate minds and spirits, a mission which has been adapted for the production of their music videos. As a complement of a talented set of musicians, the band is focused on the many ways they can please the ear, uplift the mind, and soothe the soul with their music.
    With the release of the video, the band promises a special level of creativity and dedication when it comes to other videos it will make in support of upcoming singles, and Hamilton guaranteed that more will soon be heard from The Uprising Roots Band
