August 2021 — TORONTO (Acclaim PR)
— Stunning entertainer Sure-D, also known as Kathy-Ann Murray, delivers
an authentic and fun Dancehall sound on new single “My Ting” .The Badda
General-produced song sees the artist who was born in Trinidad and
Tobago and raised in Toronto, Canada, expanding well beyond her Soca
roots.
“I felt like I’ve always dabbled in different styles of music
and I just went with my vibe at the time. I am a fan of Dancehall and
wordplay and thought this style allowed me creative expression on the
song,” says Sure-D.
“My Ting” boasts a catchy hook over
an old school uptempo beat, bound to capture the attention of the
masses. Whether listeners are reciting the lyrics or just moving and
grooving, the familiar sound and vibe of “My Ting” is slated to help
solidify the Sure-D brand amongst wide audiences. “My Ting” was penned
from the perspective of an independent woman.
Sure-D makes it a habit to not be pigeonholed into one genre of music and refers to her music overall as a “world sound.”
“You will be able to hear the Soca
and Dancehall influences within most of my music,” the singer says.
“However, you can also identify genres like R&B and Afrobeats. In
Trinidad, we have a dish called ‘Pelau’ — with a little bit of
everything in one pot. That’s actually a good way to think of my
music.”
It’s no surprise that
Sure-D handpicked Dancehall frontrunner Badda General to produce “My
Ting,” as he is a triple industry threat (artist, selector and
producer), who has been scoring with a wealth of hit music. According to
Sure-D, the connection with Badda General came in 2018 via another
Toronto-based Dancehall act. But it was in 2019 when the two joined
forces.
As Sure-D strives to reach global audiences with her diverse style, she longs for
the day to “touch road” again safely. Like
many, Sure-D had to adapt to a virtual world and the near standstill
pace of live entertainment during the pandemic. As an independent
artist, she had to work extra hard to promote her music.
No stranger to the stage, Sure-D
has performed at Soca Monarch in Trinidad, opened for Jada Kingdom in
Orlando, Florida just before the pandemic and recently graced Jerkfest
in Toronto. Sure-D cites her electrifying stage presence, creativity and
songwriting as her stand-out criteria.
In fact, Sure-D’s song-writing skills have afforded her opportunities to write with renowned songwriting teams and producers (Kia Jeffries, James Lackey and Steven
Jordan better known as Stevie J) for a range of Pop, Gospel, Hip Hop and
Reggae artists, including Freddie McGregor and Turbulence.
“My Ting” destined to have
audiences having fun and dancing again, is out now on all digital
platforms. A visual is due later this month.
