his career and feels elated with the results that The System has
produced.
"When I
found out I was really happy to tell you the truth. We worked extremely
hard on this album, from the songwriting, to production and packaging -
the entire thing. So it's definitely a great feeling to have it on the
Billboard charts, especially so soon after it was released," he told the
Jamaica STAR.
With his
musical maturity evident through this latest project, the artiste known
for several other hits such as Cyaa Sleep and Who Feels It Knows It
insists that the future of Reggae music is bright, as long as local
artistes continue to put in maximum effort.
"I have a
long way to go, when I look at the major achievements of the reggae
artistes before me; that is definitely something to aspire towards and
that's what I'm focusing on right now. And apart from myself, there are a
lot more promising young artistes, so I think it's a great future for
reggae as long as we continue to work hard and put in the effort," Virgo
said.
Romain Virgo will hold an album launch forThe System on May 30 at Emancipation Park in Kingston.
