Ever had certain thoughts, (and guys this is directed at the ladies, no offense) about the opposite sex and you just found a song that gaveyou that took-the-words-out of-my-mouth kinda feeling?
Remember these songs: "Give It To Me" ( covering the Taboo subject of oral sex), "Can You Do Di Work?" ( speaks for itself right, I mean ladies how many times have you met a man that talks a good game and all you're thinking is yes I hear you, but can you deliver?), how about"Goody" --only for the confident, sexy woman. hellooooo!!!
Who could deliver these kind of hard hitting, in-your-face, don't-give-a-damn-cause-I'm-telling-the-truth lyrics? Gotta be someone with confidence for sure, a certain sense of freedom maybe, talent is a must. Now this lady has not only done that but she has endured! Why??? Cause she's also smart, classy, fun, and an overall great talent. Arite arite, I'm sure by now you know I'm talking about Dancehall's official "Bad Gyal" Ce'cile.
Endured she has! Touring Eroupe, Japan, North America and of course Jamaica over the years, she has garnered a legion of fans and several accolades including the Irie Jam Radio Awards, Jamaican Federation of Musicians, 2 IRAWMA awards, South Florida Reggae Awards, Stone Love Awards, Star Awards, Richie B's awards, Tamika Awards and more. To date, Ce'Cile is still one of the few Dancehall artists to be featured in Source Magazine, Vibe Magazine and XLR8R Magazine. Trina, Shaggy, Timberland, Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Sean Paul, Lady Saw and Olivia.
On her new album Waiting, she of course delivers biting lyrics with songs like "Faking" and "Talk Talk" (ladies watch what you tell your friends about your man, they might want some to, lol) , and club bangers like "Hot Like We" feat Beenie Man but also adds a touch of reggae with my chuune and the title trak "Waiting." BTW The extended version of the Waiting album, Worth It has two new exclusive tracks has been selected by iTunes as one of the ‘best of 2009 so far!’.
The granddaughter of Mandeville's cherished mayor, Ce'Cile is loved from the gully to Miami's Flashy South Beach and the steets of Tokyo Japan. She is a chamelean switching from Dancehall to Reggae to Ska never missing a beat!
She just wrapped up a German Tour with Peter Fox the former lead singer of Germany's most successful Reggae Band Seeed who has gone double platinum and counting with his début solo album; Stadtaffe (City Ape) which was released in September 2008. Singing to crowds of over 14,000 at one venue. Right now she is taking a break in Jamaica, where she is still performing (this gyal work hard fuh tru!!!)
Yaad Gyal, Sexy Gyal, Good Gyal, Bad Gyal...Cecile, you are officially Lime Certified!
