Reggae Vibes productions in association with VP Records present the new album from vocalist Tony Curtis. This new studio album incorporates an array of musical influences over consistently hot reggae riddims and is aptly titled “Ready For The World”. You can purchase your copy @ VP Records, www.cduniverse.com or www.amazon.com The singer known as Tony Curtis is rated among reggae fans for the 2002 anthem “High Grade” (from the album “Stronger”) which placed top 10 in Jamaica and abroad. Boasting performance stints with Roof International and Stone Love Movement, Curtis has developed a following with the dancehall fraternity among singers like Lukie D, Thriller U and Singing Melody who have combined their talents (and initials) to form the dancehall quartet L.U.S.T. On his own, Tony has toured Europe and Japan and plans for summer ’05 include a US tour. Feature tracks include “Jungle George”, “Follow Me” featuring the legendary Johnny Osbourne and the title track. From that moment in 1991 when he won a talent show in Ocho Rios, Jamaica he had the amazing ability to convey the message in a song in such a way, he captures the attention of the listener. His sentimental tone, immaculate clarity and forward projection, perfectly smooth phrasing over any rhythm is indicative that he is evolving into one of the genre’s brightest star. Tony Curtis' exceptional remake of the Burt Bacharach classic "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" entitled "High Grade" from album "Stronger" served as the reggae anthem of 2002. This single was self produced and gave the world a first time glance of Tony Curtis' productions skills. These skills were clearly far from novice as the single blazed through airwaves and compilation CDs such as VP Records, Strictly the Best Volume 30 internationally. Three years later Tony is back. A brand new album entitled, “Ready for the World” produced by Michael “Jahmikes” Coburn for Reggae Vibes Productions Inc. is scheduled for release in May 2005. This time, Tony unleashes his vocal prowess and writing skills, artistically defining the concept of love as the sole aberration to war. From the 1st track to the last, it’s transparent that the artiste is indeed ready. As is customary, this album is flavored with Curtis’ traditional specialty for the ladies. Feelings, I Want You More, All The Way and Angel are romantic ballads that will definitely be in rotation on every ladies playlist. Other tracks such as Determined, Know My Style and Follow Me featuring Johnny Osbourne reflect the spiritual side. The relevance of peace and love, brotherhood, hope, perseverance is profoundly expressed and peaks on track #3, entitled “Let’s Live.” This song not only illustrates his conviction and commitment to peace but is also a universal cry for unity. After a decade in the business and an accumulating international fan base, Tony Curtis adamantly insists on creating music that eloquently advocate the heartfelt concerns of people. This album is mere proof of his conviction. Tony Curtis is indeed “Ready for the World” Bio Written by: Devon Barnes Sr.
