Lady Saw drops first single from new album

Great party vibes, walk out and never get tired attitude, girls' anthem approach and respect to independent women are all saucily packaged in Party Till December, the frolicking, lead-off single from Lady Saw's soon-to-be-released album, My Way, on her new label, Divas Records/Toasting Music/ Universal.

My Way is due in stores September 7. Armed with a rollicking, uptempo rhythm, Lady Saw steps to it as only she can and fires off lyrics which are sure to have all the single ladies - and some of those 'in a relationship' - making that quantum leap from boredom to the dazzle of a dance floor. And as infectious as the rhythm is, Party Till December is one of those songs that make the listener also want to hear the lyrics.

Lady's Saw's delivery, which oozes with confidence, coupled with her ability to ride a rhythm and her experience as a smooth toaster, give this single its appeal.

According to Saw, who wears her producer's hat on this track, Party Till December was one of the first songs she did for the album and while working on the project it was her favourite - until it was replaced by others.

"I thought the record company would have chosen one of the combination singles, perhaps the one with Eve or Ding Dong, because those are really nice tracks. So I was surprised when they selected Party Till December as the lead-off single," she explained, adding that she is pleased nonetheless.

Saw surmised that the single's crossover potential could have played a role in the decision-making process. Party Till December is quite a club banger and is also a true girls' anthem, the type which has been gaining popularity with fans internationally.

On the track she dishes outwith loads of attitude - this body's too hot to be at home just kicking back - after which she informs that she's got her own money, her own ride and her bills are paid. So what does an independent single girl with a man who wants her back supposed to do? Well, Saw gives an option - with a new attitude and a killa hairstyle, let's party till December.

My Way also has productions from Tony 'CD' Kelly, Lloyd 'John John' James, Danny Browne and Stephen McGregor. Among the other tracks are Every Way Mi Go, Your Chick, He Is At My House (featuring Eve), My Way, Me Hold Yuh, Muscle Control (featuring Camar) and I Can't Wait (featuring Ding Dong).
