A question posed by this week's featured artist in the spotlight, Leontre. A member of the Gully Bank Musik family, Leontre is an emerging young talent with, it seems, nothing but good things awaiting her in terms of success in the music industry. Not only is Leontre an accomplished singer with a unique and instantly recognizable voice, she is also the writer of her own (and perhaps, in the future, others') songs.
'Where Do You Go?' is one of three tracks from Leontre's debut Gully Bank Musik release, the other two tracks being 'Nuh Try' and her duet with Duane Stephenson, 'Sweet Slumber'. I've been blessed with another track from her called 'Jamaica', which always draws a positive response whenever I give it a bounce on the show.
This remarkable (not least because of her tender age) talent has what appears to be an effervescent personality (as evidenced on Twitter) and is, I'm sure, a breath of fresh air in the too often stuffy and stale music industry. Maybe I'm too soft, but it gladdens my heart to see (and hear) young talent like Leontre and last week's spotlight Zshatwa doing their thang.
They are proof positive that new music doesn't have to forego quality of penmanship or production values in the vain pursuit of 'commercial success'. They are not commodities to be put on an eye-level shelf one week and in the bargain bin the next. No, these are artists in the truest sense of the word whose works are to be admired, even treasured and live beyond the artists' 'careers'.
