Lady Saw New Album ‘My Way’ Drops September 7

15 years deep, 9 albums strong, and millions of albums sold, the Grammy-winning dancehall pioneer, Lady Saw will release her first album My Way on September 7, 2010 with Toasting Music/Diva Records, distributed by Fontana/Universal. My Way follows the 2007 release Walk Out, her final album on the reggae label VP Records. I met with Lady Saw a few months ago and she said the key to her success is “I’m always myself, I never change…I’m touchable, I’m approachable and I’m always grounded”. I concur!

Her latest collection, featuring collaborations with rapper Eve and Ding Dong as well as production by Lady Saw along with Tony CD Kelly, Lloyd John John James, Danny Browne and Stephen McGregor, opens a new chapter for Saw and Divas Records productions.

I wanted to have the independence and freedom to do things 100% my way. I can tell the producers what I want for my riddim and say what I want to say in my songs. No one is telling me what I can or cant do on this album, states Lady Saw.

Born Marion Hall, Lady Saw remains true to her sexually empowering, cheeky lyricism on My Way. Whether its liberating anthems like Every Way Mi Go and Party Til December or her no-holds-bar delivery on Muscle Control and 5 Minutes, the 16-track collection is jam-packed with the rugged and raw style that put Saw on the map with her 1994 debut release Lover Girl. She also gives listeners a glimpse of Miss Marion Hall, her softer, more mature side, on the title track My Way and I Am A Woman.

With Triple Platinum status and a Grammy under her frock for her collaboration with No Doubt on Underneath it All, Lady Saw is one of the most distinguishing images in both hip-hop and reggae. The songtress, deejay, producer and writer continues to headline shows worldwide, and her longevity reveals that true artistry always stands the test of time. The multi-talented Jamaica native has had a hand in creating hits for artists like Beenie Man, Sizzla, Bounty Killer, Vegas, Vybz Kartel, Papa Pimp, Capelton and Spragga Benz. Her appeal has also resulted in dynamic collaborations with Gwen Stefani, Missy Elliot, Remy Ma, Trina, Nicki Minaj, Foxy Brown Michael Franti, and Pharrell Williams.
