New songs show different side to Ding Dong

- STEPHANIE LYEW STAR Writer

Ding Dong continues to reap success worldwide with his dance moves and catchy singles, but the transition­ing recording artiste says that his songs are not always upbeat.

To fully cement this ‘flairy’ movement, Ding Dong has released yet another track, titled Flair Is In The Air, which has received more than 150,000 views on YouTube. There are also many dancers doing routines to the song.

Meanwhile, the recently released music video for Working Girl, a single that was released in 2017, received more than 160,000 views on YouTube in just one week.

“In terms of music, there are times dancehall artistes do different songs. But the industry is a weird one, so you have to work with what you are given sometimes,” and family.

“As artistes, we tend to shy away from being an artiste in a video. We would rather play another character and never ourselves,” he said. “For me, I am constantly around females. I am witness to their drive and work ethic, and many times, dancehall music say dis and dat bout woman, so I just decided to do a neutral scenario, but one that glorifies hardworkin­g ladies,” he said.

Another song that has the ability to gain Ding Dong more fans from an audience outside of dancehall is Happy Life, which was released a few days ago. The song is comparable to Holiday in terms of the lyrics and rhythm and is likely to remind persons of the track that took the 2009 summer party season by storm.
