Emrand's In Trinidad

Musically acclaimed artiste Emrand Henry is in Trinidad currently to launch his new album “Line Up The Troops”. Emrand which is no stranger to the island has been generating quite a fan base for himself. His stage presence was felt at Pilgrimage, Positive’s Album Launch and Let Loose,  singing some of the islanders favorite Soca.

Emrand has been reported to have come in from a five month tour in the USA and Canada. He recently came back from performing at the St Lucia Homecoming July 2010. It was an abrupt invitation that placed a pause to his international tour, however he took the opportunity to reconnect with the island’s top producers Leebo, Rossi and Danyl.

His newest album was released in the USA on June 1st 2010 in Miami Florida. It was produced by Jamaican born producer Stephan Murphy of Murphy Productions. He has done collaborations with artistes St Matthew, Ordinary, and Reality.

I must say having a Jamaican producer for a Soca Artiste is somewhat rare yet the tie has grown strong and the album has been recognized greatly because of such. The production possess as his management puts it, ‘true Gospel flavor which was needed to make this CD connect to the youth, as it deals lyrically with real life situations they face.’

Emrand has recently been awarded in New York from the City Council of New York for outstanding lifetime of good citizenry through music. On June 6th he also received a second award from the Hopeton Lewis Caribbean Music Awards 2010 for his outstanding work in Gospel.

Emrand has released great new single titled “Blue, White, Black and Yellow” produced by St. Lucian Christopher Neil of Big as Life Studio in New Jersey.

Emrand is expected to perform in Trinidad and Tobago over the next few weeks.  He will be featured this coming Friday at Fiesta Plaza from 7 PM in the World Changers Promotional Tour being done by Real Love and Isaac Blackman. Take a look at one of his classic songs.....
