Push-A-Pen Entertainment announces it has officially released Multi-talented Reggae Artist Janisa's new single "Jamaican Boy".  Produced by renowned producer Paul "Jazzwad" Yebuah, who is a distinguished producer in the Reggae Industry responsible for hits such as "Bounty Killer's break out classic "Copper Shot" and Damian Marley's Grammy nominated "Beautiful". Revamped with a trendy, chic hairstyle, Former NYC Reggae Rising Star Contestant Janisa re-emerges with her distinct musical approach, stunning, unique image in tow. Motivated by thousands of eager fans who have been awaiting new music since the new-comers impressive debut with tracks like "Big Up" and All We Do" last summer,  Janisa's latest effort, "Jamaican Boy" is sure to be a ubiquitous record as it impacts all major Reggae/Dancehall radio markets at press time. Janisa gushes about her new single and the excitement surrounding the release of the romantic ode to Jamaican males is already contagious. Quips the Panamanian beauty coyly, " I'm very excited. Seriously, I love this song. It's a fun, midtempo, song. It's a tribute to Jamaican men- who have been influential in my life. I think everyone can enjoy it and I hope everyone will."
 
   Dubbed by Reggae industry insiders as an artist to watch in 2009, Janisa started the year strong with coveted features in Jamaica Star and Chat Magazine, only to be crowned Artist of the Month in March by Big Eye News Magazine. Last summer saw the up and coming artiste hand picked by Special World Radio Host DJ PJ Butta who featured"Big Up" in a Heineken Sponsored Summer Special of the World Chart Show, consequently launching the ambitious singer’s career to Reggae fans throughout the West Indies.  Enjoying a surge in popularity, Janisa keeps performance, interview and  guest appearance request pouring in, especially since her attendance at the 28th Annual IRAWMA Awards in New YorkCity, where she made a splash on the Red Carpet donned in a rare, white, crystal- laced Jovani Gown that made Dancehall celebrity on-lookers take notice and sent media camera crews into a frenzy. The fashion-savvy songstress' most recent performances include a thrilling mini- set with a professional house band at the International Music Festival in Boston, where the skillful singer-songwriter hails, in addition to an attention grabbing serenade at WVIP Radio Host Ken Williams' Reggae Rising Star Competition.

Striking a cord with her melodious harmonies
and intense dark brown eyes, for Janisa this is a match made in heaven as her unique voice meets squarely with acclaimed beat maker Jazzwad's Caribbean-clad baseline in the sweet sounding "Summer Vibes Riddim". This novice- veteran musical paring equals a great recipe for success! "Jamaican Boy" is the scorching main entree for  hungry Reggae fans who want to hear something new.

"Look At Me"

Written by Janisa for PUSH-A-PEN Entertainment© 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Intro:
You know…all of my adversities
They’ve made me who I am
And as I look into my future
I know one thing,
I can be at peace now
With my past

Verse 1:
How you like that?
Can’t hold me back
No longer make me cry
Or push me to the side
So boy take that
Look at where I’m at
No thanks to you
I've still reached a plateau

Bridge 1
And you’ve got some catching up to do
You so-called hustle while I surpass you-
In accomplishment
I’m full of substance
I’m full of substance
What happened to you?

Chorus (Repeat X2)
Look at me
Look at me
I’m so happy
Without you

Verse 2:
I know you hate that
You’re not welcome to my a-p-t
Oh you think its wack?
You can’t enter my c-a-r
Oh, I know you can’t stand
That I don’t care where you are
No I have no more regard
For you-yes boy by far
You were my biggest mistake
A chance I shouldn’t of taken
I feel my heart break-ing
Right now

Repeat Bridge 1

Repeat Chorus X2

Bridge 2:
My precious tears
Innocent heart
We’re on our way
To a brand new start yeah
My made up mind
My gentle spirit
We’re almost free
I can see
I can hear it

Repeat Bridge 1

Repeat Chorus X2
