New Music: Dawn Penn “It Must Be Him”
Published on February 12th, 2010.
Another talented Penn, this one comes from Jamaica and when I heard this song for the first time today, I knew in an instant this was the New Music jam for the week. That melody in the beginning before we hear her sing made such and indelible impression on me, hearing it again was like sneaking another piece of candy while no one was looking.
Her most famous single “No, No, No” has apparently been sampled by Rihanna and Lily Allen, so you know it’s good for you. This tune was originally made famous in the U.S. by Vikki Carr and Shirley Bassey and like most reggae music of 60s, this cover was most likely inspired by a free-roaming radio wave traveling long distance from south Florida to the Kingston.
