Reggae
Vibes:
The debut cd of Pressure -- real name Delyno Brown, born on St.
Thomas, Virgin Islands, on the fifth day of August 1981 -- is called "The Pressure Is
On". After having spinned the album for several times now it's obvious that this
debut set -- filled with fiery, concious lyrics and riddims -- exceeds most expectations
of a regular debut cd. Prssure's vocal style reminds us of Jamaican artists like Sizzla
and Turbulence, but he certainly isn't a copy cat, he has an exceptional fresh style of
his own. - More
Rasta Stevie:
For new music I primarily check the 100s of seven inch
singles release weekly from Jamaica. It is almost a full time job keeping up to date and
checking the new 7". For a full length record to grab me is rare. It takes a super
strong sound to garner my attention. My ears are perked up to the fullness when I heard
the debut record from the Virgin Islands PRESSURE. - More
Achi's Reggae Blog:
Making a debut album can be quite a tricky thing,
especially in Reggae. When you take an artist that is
potentially an unknown and try to expose him/her to
audiences who potentially know ABSOLUTELY nothing about
them, you're selling so much more in my opinion, than
someone who they may not really know about but see on
their televisions and hear on their radios on a daily
basis. Unfortunately in Reggae we don't actually have
those type of luxuries but WONDERFULLY some still get it
right. Back in 2005, Dean Pond and company got it right
when they introduced the world to one of the most
powerful rising talents in Reggae music and an artist
who would, just a couple of years later, EXPLODE on the
scene to a MASSIVE degree. Pressure's debut album, The
Pressure Is On, marked the arrival of an artist who
would become a household name in Reggae and did so, not
as an artist in some random state of development but as
an already finished product.
