Tashina enjoying that ‘one touch’

-

Fast-rising reggae singer Tashina McKenzie is banking on the success of her bouncy new song, ‘One Touch’, which is getting a huge buzz in the streets.

The vivacious entertaine­r, who made a huge mark during the 2007 edition of Digicel

Rising Stars, is cranking up the promotion with the release of a video for the single, which was released on the US-based JB Production label.

“The video for One Touch has been shot already and will be released later this month. I plan to go all out because I am getting a big strength on the radio and in the streets,” she said.

The song has enjoyed steady rotation both locally and overseas. It is on the JA Bounce rhythm, which features artistes such as Munga Honorable, Beenie Man, Teejay, Singer J, Ovamarz and D’Angel.

The spunky entertaine­r will be following up with the release of a song called Magnet.

The streets have been talking about the saucy, risqué new song which was recorded on

Red Boom’s new rhythm, which features the hit song Like I’m Superman by Vybz Kartel and Sikka Rhymes.

“I don’t know how it (her song) leaked, but my friends started to share it on WhatsApp and it gone viral and everybody ah talk. So next year I will be doing a video,” she said.

Tashina will be bombarding the dancehall scene with a barrage of new songs, including Inna the Shower, Pretty Pretty and Independen­t, all of which have been released on the JB Production­s label.

“I plan to do an EP next year with reggae songs included as well. I have a song called I Rise with a UK-based producer. I have a collaborat­ion with Queen Ifrica, and one with Sizzla as well, so those songs will be on my EP,” she said.
