Dancehall’s dynamic duo, Tanto Metro & Devonte has announced the release of their new set titled ‘Musically Inclined’ to be released by VP Records as the first album of 2006. With new tracks from producers: Tony ‘CD’ Kelly, Christopher ‘Longman’ Birch, Robert Livingston (of Big Yard Productions), Troyton Rami (of Black Shadow) and Richard ‘Richie D’ Martin, the pair are stepping up their game with feature tracks including “In There” and “Sexy Lady.” The hit single “I’ve Got News for You” produced by Ryan Leslie, a Bad Boy Entertainment affiliate, has a video currently playing on local video shows in the U.S. and Caribbean.
Fresh for 2006, Tanto Metro & Devonte, the veteran hit makers and creators of two of dancehall’s biggest radio records. “Everyone Falls In Love” from 1998 and “Give It To Her” from 2001 are back with their usual mixture of melodic hooks, humorous rhymes and catchy melodies. ‘Musically Inclined’ is the group’s third release on VP Records. Collaborations with artists on the album include Morgan Heritage on the upbeat “Time to Party”, Courtney Melody on “Cross the Boarder” and Lady Ru on “The Only One.” Also included in the set are the dancehall standards “Hey Girl” and “Burn,” which have kept the DJ and Singer in the mix since the release of their last album ‘The Beat Goes On’.
“We are trying to get across to the people that we are still there and still making good music,” says singer Devonte. He went on to explain that “The album is blending all sorts of music, it shows our versatility” and during the recording process, “The vibe in the studio was good, it took a while to put together, all our energy was focused and we put a lot of work into the album, it is a healthy mix of singles and tracks recorded specifically for the album.”
Success is not new to Tanto Metro or Devonte; both artistes have enjoyed immense popularity as solo artistes. Their impressive catalogue of material is matched by the scope of their touring. Fans in the USA, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe and Japan have all reveled in their energetic performances. In response to the upcoming demands of album promotion and touring Devonte stated “We are looking forward to touring and promoting the album in January and through out 2006… to take it to the next level.”
