Some people see him as a charmer. Others throw negative reviews his way, fewer even refer to him as an “iron globe.” However, whatever the vision, Peter Lloyd, a down-to-earth soul will rise beyond the horizons sooner than skeptics think. With past hits like Dem Seh Gold Digga, and singles like Ready For Love, Walk Through Fire, Wake Dem Up, as it has already begun. In 2000, his first album to date, the critically acclaimed Transitions, was produced under the Gem-Kkept record label.
The movie actor-turned-singer released the single Oh My Dahling, which is also on the platform of a legend. This treat prompts listeners to anticipate another full album. Nonetheless, fans will remain pleased with the confirmation that another Perfect Body single is slated for a January 2009 release date. The Oh My Dahling video is conceptualized by Jamaican thoroughbred Peter Lloyd, who also directed it working alongside the cameraman Richard Lyn. As usual, his productions are subtle descriptions of Jamaican culture, but done in a way for listeners to learn rather than be judgmental. So far, Wake Dem Up is a cry to bring Jamaicans closer to the reality of the negative experiences that exist, but also to their abilities in Jah to overcome, be strong and be productive, because of his innate talent. Surely other nations can identify with this song.
In Oh My Dahling, he portrays the average Jamaican man, too attracted to women today to step aside. However, admiring them with respect, the represented male figure struggles to collect a flower for his garden that is already being pruned. It’s funny, and in the end, the only rose that he makes bloom suddenly fills with other flowers that he secretly watered.
Tunes like Clementine’s are borrowed, a common assault in the music industry. Oh My Dahling currently (Q4 2008) ranks number one on Bess FM, number 4 on RE-TV’s video countdown, and is on the Hitz 92 FM charts.
They remind us of Dem seh Gold Digga (“They Say Gold Digger”), which is as fresh and current as when it became a hit.
Oh My Dahling is well choreographed and thankfully, as with Lloyd’s other videos, which are also directed and produced by him, it’s not just about showing parts of the body. The lyrics are not complicated and are as catchy as the rhythms that are translated into a purr. As with his other songs, Jamaican women are given due respect for the obstacles experienced.
Peter has a unique marketing style that seems to be working so far. He is not a man of fanfare, so sending his waves over the Internet is on par with his affectionate nature. Two of his singles can be found on Youtube, where you can also log in to comment. You can see Wake dem up, then came Oh My Dahling.
