New Album Coming For Aidonia [WATCH VIDEO]


Amidst a full roster of activities for the season, dancehall troubadour Aidonia is currently immersed in the studio working on material for his upcoming album.

Despite releasing 'Project Sweat' two years earlier, for which he received an honourable mention from Billboard Magazine and a top ten debut on the iTunes 100 Albums Chart. The ten-track compilation was presented as an EP and not an album. However, this latest body of work will mark the deejay's official album debut since his emergence on the scene over a decade ago.

Alluding to the lengthy timeline for the album Aidonia says it's all about timing and he wanted to deviate from the norm, but still, provide an offering that fans and the wider populous will appreciate musically. 

“I want to provide fans with something exceptional that will transcend time and geographic boundaries. I am not a big fan of expendable music, hence I believe as an artiste it is extremely important to take the time and effort to mould each record on the album in the best way I possibly can. If I expect people to buy this it’s only fair that they receive their monies worth.” - Aidonia said.

“I want when someone downloads or puts my album into their player they can listen to the entire compilation from start to end without having to skip a song because it’s perceived as a sub-par effort.” – He added.

With no specific release date set, the 'Yeah Yeah' minstrel intimated that an approximate timeline would be for the first quarter of 2018. The compilation will be executively produced by his own 4th Genna Music imprint. When quizzed about possible collaborations a seemingly tight-lipped Aidonia says the album is still in its infancy and he doesn't  want to divulge too much at this time but hinted at a few surprises.

Meanwhile, dominating the FM airwaves and social scene with tracks like 'Yeah Yeah', 'Fire' and 'IG Girls' the deejay is now gearing up for a series of performances in Freeport and Nassau (the Bahamas) later this month.

Internationally, Aidonia's summer anthem 'Yeah Yeah' was recently added to the 'B-List' of BBC 1Xtra's playlist where it now enjoys premium daytime rotation among a plethora of international A-listers.
