Shine-I poised to shine this evening March 4
According to Shine-I, all the artistes from out of the Territory are here and persons can expect a beautiful show that is aimed at promoting one word -“love”.

The album consists of 14 tracks and includes popular songs such as ‘I Got it Bad’, ‘I Know’ and ‘Bright N Morning Star’. However, Shine-I plans to have a more colourful launching of the album tomorrow night.
“This event will endorse the album and local talent. I believe it is a positive way to endorse music into society and celebrate the calibre of talent that we as artistes hold. This is our Jah given talent and it comes natural for us like daily routines and we want to celebrate that,” Shine-I said.
The entire album or single tracks are available for download on http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/shinei.According to Shine-I, he has structured this event to be one that could compete beyond the Virgin Islands and in doing so, has employed the services of some of the VI’s best musicians, entertainers and production specialists.
