Cherine Anderson is taking it to another galaxy
Cherine Anderson is bursting out all over with a myriad of accomplishments back to back. Fresh from the very successful Tailgate Tour with Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, Sly & Robbie and the Taxi Gang, Cherine not only recently released her latest slamming single, “Talk If Yuh Talking” – she also landed in the spotlight for having been featured in the official remix of Britney Spears’ MTV Video Music Award triple winner, “Piece Of Me.”
Winning Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video Of The Year, “Piece Of Me” is the second single from Spears’ album, “Blackout” and the official remix by Sly &Robbie is soulfully laced with Cherine’s passionate sound.
That same fervor was consistent with Cherine who dominated all 21 stages during the 2008 Tailgate Tour that saw the musicians criss-cross the US going from Santa Barbara, California to St. Augustine, Florida. Selling out at some venues the bands gave audiences more than they bargained for, and the dancehall soul vibe of Cherine was more than a hit.
Both Slightly Stoopid and Pepper fell for Cherine’s style and invited her to perform during their sets. As a result Cherine appeared three times during each concert; once with each of the two bands as well as during her own set that had the employees of many venues fixated with the stage while she sang.
“It is really amazing to see the growth of Cherine from the first tour to now, she really shines on the tough hardcore riddims,” Sly Dunbar said,
Cherine penned the confrontational female anthem “Talk If Yuh Talking” and was inspired to write it by the experiences of a friend. The song was well received during Cherine’s set on the tour and will be available on her upcoming EP “The Introduction – Dubstyle.”
Known to give some hardcore music enthusiasts goose-bumps, Cherine’s talent and personality has sent her soaring in the reggae music industry.
