Having taken off the summer from touring to concentrate on promotions and recording new singles for the Jamaican-based market, Ce'Cile has strategically placed herself in the top section of the current female dancehall pack and is ready to showcase herself on the biggest reggae festival in Jamaica, Reggae Sumfest.

This summer is Ce'Cile's first full break in five years from her yearly European Summer tour.

Armed with a slew of new singles, Ce'Cile intends to remind her fans why she has been a consistent and prolific artiste for the last 10 years.

"I am very excited to actually be able to do Sumfest this year," Ce'Cile said.

"I have missed it for the past four or five years, but I think I am doing it at the right time," she added.

"While I have always maintained my presence in Jamaica, I have not been on every show, all the time, so my fans should be genuinely happy to see me."

Having been called controversial since her song Changes, Ce'Cile is living up to the moniker with her provoking single Coffee (Wallabeez : MataO Music) which is receiving some heavy rotation on radio, clubs and in the dancehall.

There is also the ladies anthem No Stress over Man (Street Bullies: Big Yard), Love him fi You (Almshouse: Ballaz), Like A Virgin (Get Fresh - Birchill), Tek Your Man (Rail up - Sankofa), Baby Go (Gala: Don Corleon) and Show Me Your Motion, featuring Liquid (Bank Robbers: Corleon).

Reggae ballads

Ever the chameleon, Ce'Cile continues to represent on the Reggae side with her sultry, smooth reggae ballads including the sexy Anything (Cook fi You: Corleon Records).

The video was recently shot by Dexter '3D' Pottinger.

Other reggae songs include Home Tonight (Feelings: Don Corleon) and When You're Gone (Cardiac Bass: Chrome) Take My Heart (Major n Minor: Don Corleon).

Ce'Cile has just returned from Trinidad where she performed alongside Beenie Man, Busy Signal, Macka Diamond and Bunji Garlin. Her next stop is Sumfest then off to Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands.
