Reggae Dancehall News Weekend
Elephant Man the ‘energy god’ recently released a new song he calls the ‘Chris Brown Dance‘ Known internationally for his popular songs including ‘‘pon di river, pon di bank’ it will be interesting to see how far the energy god takes his “Chris Brown Dance.” This, at a time when superstars Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyonce, Ne-Yo, Alecia Keys, P. Diddy and Snoop Dogg have either sampled a track(s) or recording(s) by a Jamaican artiste for their most recent albums or have visited and/or recorded music on the island in recent times. If catching a ‘Jamaican vibe’ is of much significance to these artistes then Chris Brown sits pretty much at the centre, “hand in a di air like dis, mek mi see everybody a dance like Chris.” As Elephant Man sounds the alarm about the release of his new song, a new energy forms in someone else’s corner from lyrics that says, “We have a brand new dance whey a run di whole town, people from all around, dem a do di Chris Brown” Elephant sings.
What is ‘‘The Chris Brown Dance’ about? According Ele’s instructions a lot, “hand in a di air like dis, mek mi see everybody a dance like Chris” then, ‘bend your back mek your body turn and twist’ and as if to further drive home the point that the dance is ‘hot’ Ele foresee ‘all Riri a tweet bout it!’
