Dear Editor,
Tessanne Chin has done it in reverse mode. Let's see if it will work.
Her handlers have opted for social exposure before she has introduced her own songs — The Voice win and now the White House performance.
She will have no difficulty getting a big producer to back her, but she cannot just continue doing covers, she will reach nowhere with that.
The question is what genre will her handlers have her do? Will it be reggae? Reggae would mark her work as distinctly Jamaican, but the Marleys and others have that tied up already. Her powerful voice, however, indicates a style of music more elaborate than reggae.
What will the choice be, and how it will be received by the market are the real questions as she starts her American career.
Lookya
