Kross Kolor brings Christmas cheer with new album

Oct 18, 2015 News

With the simple aim of creating music that represents the unique Guyanese Christmas experience, Kross Kolor Records (KKR) has produced a new Christmas album, packed with a host of stars.
The new album, “Christmas with Us”, is the brainchild of popular local artiste, Melissa ‘VANiLLA’ Roberts and Simeon Brown. The entire project was spearheaded by Burchmore Simon, the founder and the man running things over at KKR.
Besides presenting the unique Guyanese Christmas, the album also seeks to be collaborative.
It was infused with the empowerment of youth. According to KKR, the album introduces the power of “working together”. It shows what the Guyanese music industry represents.
“This project did not only include popular singers like VANiLLA, B52, Tennicia DeFreitas, Jovinski, Gavin Mendonca, Shawn English, and Ossie O, but it also embraces unknown singers like Randy Kirton, T’Shanna Cort, Shivanie Bhola, Sueann ‘China’ Campbell, Romichelle Brummell, Daniel Dondre and Shaundelle ‘JP’ Alleyne, courtesy of Vizion Sounds,” KKR said. KKR also revealed that poet Leeanna Alleyne, steelpan player Andrew Tyndall, keyboard Trevor John and saxophonist Roy Stewart, all added an infectious Christmas vibe to the album.
Additionally, KKR said that the incorporation of makeup artist Renee Chester of Bromeliad Inc., designer Keshia Edwards of ShaSha Designs, and photographers Azikiwe “Ziggy” Denheart and Dwayne Hackett all contributed to the project’s success. “Producers and arrangers Burchmore Simon, Simeon ‘LilJay’ Browne and Drew Thoven added an effortless magic on the project,” KKR added. “Kross Kolor Records has always been a frontrunner in Guyana’s music industry and with the festive season quickly approaching, we encourage companies and the public at large to give the gift of music. What better way to celebrate than with the sounds of sweet Guyanese tunes? After all, the season just wouldn’t be complete without some good musical vibes.”
