Goldenchyl - Don't Hesitate

WRITTEN BY RONNIE MATTHEWS
WEDNESDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2008

Here's a very hot Reggae/Urban flavored hit by Goldenchyl, "Don't Hesitate" on G Chyl and Downstairs Entertainment. I say Reggae/Urban flavored becuase the track & chorus is more Urban sounding but the main lyrics are Reggae, either way, this could be a large hit in a wide variety of clubs & college parties. It should be a heavy rotation at radio, too. You may recognize the quality of his work, because he was the writer/producer of hits like, Shaggy's "Church Heathen", Elephant Man featuring Chris Brown "Feel The Steam". Top quality work & it shows. You should be able to spin this project throughout the night & get your dancefloor moving.

Goldenchyl / GC BIO

Talented, confident, passionate and energetic are just a few words to describe multi-talented “Four Time Grammy Nominated Songwriter and Producer” Goldenchyl / GC (aka Andre Fennell). The emerging young artist aims to propel pop culture and reggae music into a bold new era beyond what’s heard today.

Hailed as "a breath of fresh air for the reggae music industry", GC is already staking his claim as a creative force to reckon with proving that he's more than capable of staying one step ahead of the competition. Besides from writing and co-producing songs of his own such as "Don’t Hesitate;" GC has written, produced and remixed multi-platinum records for Grammy award-winning artist Shaggy. In addition to producing and co-writing on his 2007 LP entitled Intoxication, on tracks such as "Church Heathen", "Intoxication", "Can't Hold Me", and "More Woman.” Intoxication debuted in the Number One spot on the Billboard Reggae Album chart last year, and has re-entered the chart at number 15. GC was also given the opportunity to contribute as writer on the UEFA Euro Project Trix and Flix "Feel the Rush" featuring Shaggy. “Feel the Rush” is currently showing up on several major pop music charts across Europe, and has managed to ascend to number one on the pop music charts and earning a Gold status in Germany in early 2008. This successful track has transcended into Hollywood, as it is featured in the Universal Pictures 2009 release “Couples Retreat” official trailer; starring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Kali Hawk. To add to his consistently growing repertoire, GC has produced Elephant Man's 2007 VP/Bad Boy Records first single "Five O" featuring Wyclef Jean and P. Diddy as well as the single "Feel the Steam" Feat. Chris Brown. In 2008, both Shaggy and Elephant Man’s 2008 LPs received Grammy nominations for Best Reggae Album.

Recently, he has appeared as a featured vocalist on the Formula Project’s second LP entitled "Evolve" featuring the single "Shine Again" featuring KRS One available on iTunes (Switch17 / ADA / Warner). GC also appears as a featured artist on up-and-coming solo artist Ali Vegas release "Generation Gap." GC has managed to position his first single “Believer” to be released on a compilation album entitled Future of Reggae Vol. 1; presented by American actress, model, fashion designer and spokeswoman, Mena Suvari, who is best known for her supporting role in the Academy Award-winning film American Beauty (1999).
Goldenchyl has released his highly anticipated LP entitled “THE EP" (The Executive Producer). The album features records as "Don’t Hesitate" (first single which has being featured on record pool charts for over 5 months in the top 30 slots), includes “Registered Voter" feat. Mathew Fennell, "Ms. Sinsue Wenaway (Insecure)” and more. The era of hype and no substance is over, I introduce to you “THE EP" available now on iTunes, Napster and Amazon.com.

Heavily influenced by legends like Bob Marley, Quincy Jones, and contemporary innovators like Timberland and Dr. Dre; he has crafted a dynamic, forward-thinking sound melding reggae and dancehall with contagious pop melodies, up-tempo hip hop-flavored grooves and sophisticated, soulful production that reflects his diverse roots¬--his humble upbringing on the streets of Portmore, Jamaica to the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural village of Queens, NY (where he currently resides). As a lyricist, GC shines like no other. His vivid insightful songs are laced with inspiring, poetic, raw, and sometimes, raunchy lyrics based on his true life experiences. "My lyrics are honest, not fabricated" he explains. "Either I lived it or I've seen it. I think that's what people relate to and connect with the most. The era of hype and no substance is over.”
