Jah9 Releases Her Debut Album – New Name

New Name is the debut album from rising female reggae vocalist Janine “Jah9” Cunningham. Jah9 has been credited as the creator of the “Jazz on Dub” genre, and New Name reflects this masterful blend of the jazz melodies of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone with the dancehall attack of Sizzla and the heavy dub rhythm of Augustus Pablo. Produced by famed Stone Love selecter Rory Gilligan, New Name sets a new standard for conscious roots reggae.

The “Deluxe Edition” of New Name, featuring extended mixes of several tracks, is available exclusively on the Apple iTunes Store as of Tuesday February 26, 2013.
