TaDa - best known for her hit Footprints in the Sand and her
rendition of Better in The Bahamas - will officially release Element, her new album, on December 9, 2013. Her first album
in five years, it is a combination of urban and pop genres. Two singles have
already been released to local radio stations. Weekend
is a pop/dance feel good tune while Bum Bum
has a hip hop/Caribbean sound with
samples from Bam Bam written by F.Hibbert of Toots and The Maytals,
which was popularized by Sister Nancy.
The album was posted on iTunes for
Pre-Order on November 11th.

A multitalented
singer/songwriter, TaDa
wrote (or co-wrote)
each of the twelve songs on Element featuring music composers from The Bahamas, USA, and
Canada.
TaDa, no stranger to the music scene, has appeared on Tempo, BET, and in SOURCE magazine. She has headlined the Miss Teen USA pageant and
performed at the Kanye West Foundation in Los Angeles. TaDa is well known for her jingle commercials which are arguably
the most popular and recognizable in The Bahamas. She has represented The Bahamas
as a delegate at the WOMEX music
conference in Denmark and as a participant in the CARICOM Cultural Committee meeting in Suriname.
As always, TaDa fans can expect a wide variety of styles and genres
on the new album. Element showcases the singer/songwriter’s vocal ability in
rap, reggae, pop, dance, and hip hop. An
album featuring such a wide range of music from one artist is a rare commodity
and the talent required to successfully deliver such a package is undeniable.
Element is the culmination of a personal journey for TaDa. She had decided not to release any more albums a few years ago. Her plan was
to focus on music licensing and step away from the frontline of the music
industry. Following the unexpected passing of her aunt, she had a change of
heart. She is certain that her aunt, ever supportive and her number one fan
from the very beginning, would have wanted her to continue to release music
commercially as an artist. As a result, the first song - a tribute to her Aunt
Bonnie - was written and recorded. Combined with eleven other songs, Live Loudly makes Element a
posthumous gift to a beloved aunt, and music lovers all over the world are
privileged to enjoy it in her honour.
Element is available on iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay, and CD
Baby.
