ancehall turned Reggae
recording artiste Sharon 'Ruffi-Ann' Peterkin impressively created a combination of songs that
address common issues and concerns be it personal, social or cultural, sounding
new and totally improved on her Dean Fraser's Canon Production label produced
debut album titled, 'Save the Juvenile'.
Ruffi-Ann, once known as Lady Shabba one of the most aggressive female Dancehall artiste has
transitioned nicely into a Reggae/Dancehall artiste on the sixteen track album
distributed by VP Records. "Savethe Juvenile" does
not only highlight Ruffi-Ann's maturity
but zoom in on her personality where, as a mother she demonstrated on track (3)
titled 'Concern' how passionate she is about children's well being, 'mi concern, bout di crime and violence,
worse when di children dem a die, something must be done to protect we
daughters and sons." She also had a message for 'Careless
Drivers' track 4, "you caan do a hundred ina thirty zone...you
not focusing if you a use a phone...your life will fade away" she
sang. Ruffi-Ann was fierce defending her turf on track (13) 'Nuh
Bad Like Mi' citing "a Jah alone mi reckon every minute, every second"
or seemingly un-bothered throwing off potential critics on track (6) 'Am
Working' when she sang 'mi might caan hol a note like D'Major or work
di saxaphone like Dean Fraser but Am Working nuh matter how much it is
hurting."
Ruffi-Ann's album could not have been wholesome without
a love song of some type and she took it on a personal level with track
(12) 'Love
You Like Me' but the ultimate album classic is 'Give It To Me,' track (9) a must listen, featuring her
mentor Dean Fraser. 'Save The
Juvenile' marks another milestone for this Spanish Town
born artiste and take you on a nostalgic journey with her. A journey that show off
her strength, apt in thinking and confidence.
