Reggae artiste Steele Goes Gospel

Friday, December 7, 2012

Canada- based reggae artiste Steele has decided to get in touch with his spiritual side with a single entitled “The Devil Caa Stop Wi”.  The jazzy, infectious track shows a new side to the artiste who has delivered songs such as She Believes In Me, Let's Stay Together and Decisions.

Commenting on the song Steele says he has always believed in spirituality and he did the song to encourage those who may be going through turbulent times reminding them not to let evil win out. 

“Personally I have faced some situations where my trust was abused and finding that people I thought would be batting for me are the very ones who turned on me,” said Steele. He says the song is a kind of therapy in getting rid of the bad vibes. He is also hoping it will be therapeutic to others who may be facing the same thing. 

Now that he has sampled gospel, the Hanover born artiste says there will be many more.
According to Steele since he released “The Devil Caa Stop Wi” in Canada, the song has been enjoying air play on gospel radio shows.

“Even in the dances my friends are telling me that the song had to be pulled up a few times,” he said of the song. 

Come Saturday, December 8, he will be lending his support to the Canadian Cancer Society.  “It’s a great honour to be part of this event, this illness that comes in so many different form is still one of the world’s leading cause of death today, therefore any contribution I can make towards the fight against cancer I’m more than willing to make,” he said.

Steele

Canada-based reggae artiste Steele has signed a distribution deal with VP Records for his fourth studio album Reality. The 15-track album which was executively produced by Fam Records Fitz Morrison is expected to make deep inroads into the reggae market.

Among the creative genius who took part in the project are Lloyd Campbell, Computer Paul, Sting Ray, Taddy P, Korner Stone Production and Steele’s own  Mobs. 

The 2012 JUNO nominee artiste who has also copped many other Canadian awards is excited about Reality and feels this is one of his best works yet. “As the album title suggests it’s all about everyday livity. There is definitely something for everyone. A few life lessons in songs, lovers’ rock and some smooth grooves,” said the singer about the album which will be available for digital download on September 18 through over 300 reggae digital ports and VP Records retail locations and all leading record stores.

In other news the Steele will be in action at the upcoming Cornwall College Old Boys Association dinner and dance. 

“I’m very proud and honoured to be invited to perform. Cornwall College has definitely created many fun memories for me, when I remember the sometimes fierce football rivalry between Cornwall and my former school Rusea High; those were crazy times, now I laugh about it. More importantly the fact that once again another past student body is giving back to an institution that forged for so many the path to success. It’s truly an honour,” he said of his expected performance.

Born Mark Steele in Lucea, Hanover he has been impacting Canada’s music scene since 1992. Among the many songs he has released over the years are Jah is My Strength, Slave Driver and What’s Wrong Wid Wi.
