Members of the gospel music fraternity came out in their numbers at the recent launch of Minister Blessed’s new EP titled I Did It Anyway. The launch, which took place at the Swallowfield Chapel in St Andrew, saw the likes of Sean Lypher, Jodiann Pantry, Ryan Mark, Prince Saj, Johnmark Wiggan, Garfield Reid, Lucas Musiq, Charmian-Marie, Sirnan Biblical from Cayman, Perry in Christ, Jim Radical, and Kawna Stone in attendance. “The vibe that truly resonated from persons that attended the event was this sense of nostalgia and fellowship as they got to see some artistes and even friends they hadn’t seen in several years.
This also flowed through with the artistes backstage with what can only be described as a reunion. The atmosphere at the event was very diverse with the different styles that each act brought from worship to reggae, to dancehall, to hip hop, inclusion of dancers and musicians, which all added to the dynamic and rich entertainment value of the event,” Minister Blessed shared in an interview with the Jamaica Observer post-event. The launch was hosted by Anya-Jean Phillips and Dexter Johnson Jr.
DJ Marc and DJ Sticko kept the vibes going in-between sets to keep patrons entertained. “The highlight at the launch, for me, was really seeing God’s purpose fulfilled as I sang the title track I Did It Anyway . I could see nods of approval and relatability coming from members of the audience.
Seeing fellow artistes who haven’t been on a show in a long time tak.
