Fabian Cooke who is famous for producing the song titled Hakuna Matata (Walt Disney) that was featured on the soundtrack of the smash box office hit film The Lion King, is one of the band’s main producers.
Just about decade ago Caribbean Pulse made it’s mark on the Reggae music world with hit songs such Dry Your Eyes ft Tony Rebel and the Billboard charting Jah Is My Rock ft. Damian Marley. The success of these singles fueled the groups popularity among Reggae fans worldwide and within no time the group was being touted as one of the best new bands in Reggae.
Such was the musical impact of Caribbean Pulse, that group was requested to perform in Jamaica, Europe, the far east and all over the US.
Caribbean Pulse released two critically acclaimed albums Unity in 2000 and Stand Up in 2003.
The group went on a musical hiatus in 2004 as the members of the band decided to take time out to pursue other ventures. However not being able to shake their passion for making good Reggae music, the members of the band have regrouped and are now working on their third album, Yesterday, which is slated to be released in 2014.
The first single off the album titled Blessed, was released on November 1st. Launching on the island of Jamaica, the single was premiered on the Barry, G show on MELLO FM, Kingston Jamaica. This included a simulcast incorporating Belize (Krem FM) and Maui (Q103 FM).
Blessed, will be supported by major promotional and publicity campaigns in the US and the Caribbean. One month after the debut in Jamaica, every single radio station on the island of Jamaica will all join forces and play Blessed. The album is scheduled for worldwide release in the Spring of 2014.
