@Clinark – Babylon City

April 26, 2012 Published by bermudians

UK Riots 2011 spawn Clinark’s New Single ‘ Babylon City.’

Clinark sends out his message for the youth, with the song ‘Babylon City’ released on iTunes on 20 April 2012.

Bermuda born Clinark now lives in Edmonton, North London. He saw first hand the devastation last year’s riots had on his local community and nearby Tottenham.

I had the Crisis Riddim sent to me by Sam Gilly at the House of Riddim several months ago and I just had the chorus, ‘Can’t you see what a gwan in Babylon City.’ As I watched the riots unfold on the TV last summer, I immediately thought of this song. When I passed through the affected areas, seeing that whole buildings had to be torn down, I was shocked. I just felt able to finish this song with those images in mind. It is a dire warning that we need to focus on our children’s well-being, more than ever, to safeguard the future and all need to communicate better. – Clinark

Making of @Clinark Tribute to Michael Jackson

April 18, 2012 Published by bermudians

“I am totally honoured by the support I have received on this work. Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 were a major influence and inspiration to me as I grew up. I, as was the rest of world, so saddened by his untimely death.

In May 2009 with the anticipation of seeing Michael in concert in London at O2 Arena, I was singing along to I’ll Be There, and my manager Juliet Edwards, suggested that I record the song. It was released just 4 days before Michael’s death in June 2009. I watched with the world as the tragedy of Michael’s passing unfolded and joined fans around the world in the condolences. On hearing that ‘Smile’ was one of Michael’s favourite songs, I recorded a version of the song too in Dec 2009. I was still devastated by Michael’s death but set about putting the optimism into the song and celebrating the contribution Michael made to this world.

By August 2010 I had so many requests from fans for more covers and was further moiré encouraged by DJ Musical Genius amongst many others. So in August 2010. I re-assembled my old album crew of great musicians who worked on my debut album ‘Journey to Foreign.’ So we went back to Stingray’s Big House Studio in London , with Dillie , Mafia & Fluxy, Stanley Andrew with the addition of Michael Martin for Heartbreak Hotel and I set about producing this new album ‘ Tribute to Michael Jackson a Legend and a Warrior. I hope you appreciate this tribute from my heart. Thanks to all those who have supported me in the works.

Thank you Michael Jackson for inspiring me with your excellent musical works and your dazzling performances. RIP Michael Joseph Jackson The Greatest Entertainer of All Time.”
