Duane Stephenson turns ‘another page’
Reggae artiste Duane Stephenson recently released the track Another Page You Turn, produced by Big Feet Records.
The lyrics were written by Josh Harris and Mark Stanley.
“The words of this song are beautiful. I think it can be a great song to help people at this time and it is the main reason why I came on board to sing the song,” the artiste said. This was his first time working with Big Feet Records.
“For me, the process of making music is mostly in the mind. It has to be of worth and at the same time enjoyable to the fans. It always starts with the words for me and then the right people to help with the music,” the artiste stated.
Originally a member of the reggae group To Isis, Stephenson pursued his solo career in 2005 and has released three albums and a number of singles like Rasta For I, Cool Runnings and Play That Song. More recently, he collaborated with Sophia Brown on a track titled My Religion, as well as Caribbean Girl with Romain Virgo. Both tracks were released in February.
“[ Caribbean Girl] is a song to uplift the spirits of Caribbean women and, by extension, women everywhere in this time,” Stephenson said, explaining that ‘in this time’ refers to the ongoing pandemic which has affected many creatives in the entertainment industry.
“For me, not touring is really hard as that always helps with promoting new songs and gives you the energy to go back to the studio and invest more time for the people. On the other hand, it has given me some time and space to really slow down and write new songs and really gather my thoughts in the process,” he said.
