Montreal Reggae Artist AURESIA Raises the “Green” Bar with Eco-Dancehall Release

Montreal Reggae Artist AURESIA   Raises the “Green” Bar with Eco-Dancehall Release

In the 2 years since she dropped her critically acclaimed eponymous, self-titled album in Nov. 2008, Auresia has been one of the busiest independent artists on the Canadian musical landscape, reggae stylings or not. With 2 cross country tours behind her, dozens of festivals and home-town shows, a “Favorite World Artist” nomination at the 2010 Canadian Independent Music Awards, and 4 nominations at the 2009 Canadian Reggae Music Awards, she is becoming a familiar artistic entity throughout Canada to both audiences and industry types. Now she takes her unique blend of Caribbean flavors and Urban soul to new heights of social consciousness with the release of her latest single (and first official dancehall track)  “Fuel Up (On Love)”.

Co-produced by Auresia and David Lines (using the Accopocco “riddim” from Smokey House Productionz in Toronto, mixed in Jamaica by world-renowned dancehall engineer Tandra Tjahgroo), Fuel Up (On Love) is a musical statement which recognizes the fact the we are aware of the situation with our environment and natural resources, yet most of us are too preoccupied or feel too powerless to affect any real change.  Loaded with unforgettable hooks, and a rhythm that will not let you sit still, Fuel Up (On Love) shows us that the answers to the ecological issue lie within each of us.  Based on immediate reaction from test audiences, many feel this could be a contender for this year’s Juno awards.

Auresia is currently setting plans in motion for tours in Jamaica, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Argentina for 2011 and has an upcoming music video release for her song “Jah Goddess” on December 4th.  Her sophomore album (working title “Dangerous in Love” ) to be released Summer 2011. 

Auresia has played Montreal and Ottawa Int’l Reggae Fests, Toronto Rastafest and Sistah Fest, Koots Roots, Cortes Arts Festivals in BC, the Queens of Reggae series and also has graced the stage at various Clubs in Western Europe and in Jamaica. She has shared the stage with Kymani Marley, Sister Nancy, Tanya Stephens, Sugar Minott, Sanchez, Shaggy, Queen Ifrica, Tony Rebel, Clinton Fearon, and Canadian favorites’ Ibo & Kindread and Kali & Dub Inc.
