Album Review:

Jealousy @ 2000 As we grow productions

Exciting, upbeat, contagious, crucial reggae music that is sure to set your heart and soul free.

Westmoreland, Jamaica born female,has earned her reputation as the Dance-Hall Diva and Nyabenghi Chanter, because of her compelling live performances.

A cousin to the Legionary Peter Tosh, Sister -I- Live has a similar ability to pull the fire out of the audience with her every sound. Her dance moves are clear and sweet easy to move with.

Each song brings a healing message surely to touch the hearts of many. Her musical repertoire is varied with original cultural lyrics as well as, classic reggae cover tunes.
