Ward 21 Wraps Up European Tour To Promote New Album

From the 90s up to now, Ward 21 has been churning out hit after hit and has blessed the ears of Dancehall fans worldwide with great music. The trio recently wrapped a 16 show European tour dubbed “Still Disturbed”, a tour like no other. Ward 21’s Kunley McCarthy gave a taste of why Still Disturbed was so different from all others by highlighting the purpose was to bring attention to their newest album, “Still Disturbed”. “Usually we tour as artistes giving a concert based on past hits and any new material we have to offer which is usually always fun but because of the album’s release, the fans seemed a lot more eager so the energy was at a fever pitch right through to the end.

The group also took another act on the road with them for this tour, Marcy Chin – a young Dancehall artiste who they say took every step as a learning experience and fit right in just like “one of the guys”. Ward 21 has been doing great things since they first stepped on the scene and now they are helping to grow Dancehall by witnessing and aiding in the growth of other performers.

​The name “Still Disturbed” is an ode to Ward 21’s very first album which was entitled 'Mentally Disturbed’. It also speaks to the fact that even after 16 years in the business as artistes and changes in musical style, they are still producing great music and will never disappoint their fans.

The 'Still Disturbed' album will be launched in Jamaica and promoted in the region by later this year which will keep them steady on their musical campaign to do their part in returning the root sound of dancehall music. Kunley McCarthy says “Music evolves but we are seeing the identity and quality fall because the original sound is slowly fading away to a point where, without the heavy Jamaican accents of the artistes, it doesn’t even sound Jamaican anymore. We will continue touring the world and flying Jamaica's flag with AUTHENTIC dancehall and reggae music as long as we have life.​”

​Ward 21 and the “Still Disturbed” album will be promoting Jamaican sounding music and as always, giving upcoming artistes a chance ​to seize their opportunity in the music business.
