Release Notes:
Roots: Kingston, Jamaica Moment of Truth: Signed with Universal Records
in 2005 Flavor: Dancehall pop Cosign: ôHer album is about to come out
and bust the world.öùSean Paul
Tami Chynn seems a bit alarmed to learn that her villa at JamaicaÆs
Grand Lido Braco Resort & Spa overlooks the nude part of the beach. Her
team came here to find picturesque settings for a photo shoot, but
right now sheÆs not loving the view. ôTrust me,ö she says with a laugh,
ôitÆs not pretty.ö
Not that the 23-year-old Kingston, Jamaica, native is uptight, itÆs
just that she has somewhat higher standards. After all, this is the
same songstress whose sexy shape was praised in Leftside & EscoÆs
dancehall smash ôTuck in Yuh Belly.ö SheÆs toured as a dancer with
Shaggy and collaborated with dancehall hot boys Sean Paul, Beenie Man,
and Assassin. And with ChynnÆs breathlessly sexy single
ôHyperventilatingö making the jump into mainstream radio formats,
Universal Records is convinced that sheÆs the future of dancehall pop.
Even with phrases like ôthe next Madonnaö and ôkicks RihannaÆs assö
floating about, the former Tammar Chin manages to remain disarmingly
down to earth. ôGrowing up in Jamaica, IÆm humbled every day,ö she
says, tossing the blond hair out of her eyes. ôAnd thatÆs no joke.
Once youÆre old enough to recognize your surroundings, youÆre humbled
every day by whatÆs going on.ö
ItÆs no surprise then that Chynn reps hard for her homeland, even
though her fair complexion sometimes gets her mistaken for a tourist.
ôSheÆs not a Jamaican,ö she quips about the whispers she sometimes
hears. In her words, ChynnÆs a multiracial ômuttö who defies
stereotypes and personifies the Jamaican national motto, ôOut of many
one peopleö (hence the title of her debut album, Out of Many... One).
ChynnÆs true heritage is musical: Her mother, the child of a white
British woman and a black Jamaican man, played trumpet; her father,
whoÆs mostly Chinese with a bit of Cherokee, was a drummer. ôMy family
is too mixed up for me to discriminate,ö she says. ôWho knows whoÆs
what and who caresùas if we all donÆt bleed.ö
But donÆt confuse Chynn with some sort of dancehall Britney Spears.
First of all, she and her talented sister, Tessanne, are the ones
writing tunes like the enticing ôLooky Looky,ö which bristles with a
shamelessly catchy hook. Plus, sheÆs determined to push herself and her
music beyond the usual creative (and commercial) limits. ôInjecting
something different into dancehall isnÆt the easiest thing,ö she
admits. ôBut I want to see Jamaican music move out into the world, even
bigger than it is now. And I love to toe the line. So hopefully, IÆll
toe the line all the way to the top.ö
Listen to this CD, if you like it, don't buy it, and don't delete it
from your computer so you can save yourself some $$.
Enjoy.
