After another stellar performance recently at the HOT97 On Da Reggae Tip show, alongside fellow Alliance members Bounty Killer and Serani, Mavado shunned the after party scene for more important business...a studio session with multi-platinum superstar Alicia Keys.
"Last year we left the Reggae Tip show and recorded a track with Lil Kim and Wyclef, this year it was straight into the studio with Alicia Keys," said the Gully Gad. "I am very focused on my career right now and I'm just trying to elevate myself and Jamaica on a whole through music. Working with Alicia is an honour and a pleasure."
Its been a landmark year for Mavado, who has managed to balance an extensive international touring schedule, including the Caribbean, US, UK, Europe and Japan, with continuing to be one of the hottest acts in Jamaica. The collaboration is a Reggae track and should hit the airwaves very soon to create the buzz for Alicia Key's impending album.
"My management and hers got together to make it happen and there was a great chemistry in the studio," continued Mavado. "It’s the first time I've sung on a Studio One riddim and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Alicia loved it too and I'm sure we will be working together on projects in the future."
The track was laid down at Alicia's own state-of-the-art The Oven Studio in New York.

Congrats Mavado, but to all you gully fans acting like he's the first one to do something with a big international artiste, where were you when Beenie Man buss T.I.? Where were you when Super Cat was working with Biggie and Puff? You guys are hilarious. Peter Tosh sang with Mick Jagger. These collabs have been happening from long time. Uno too bias as Gaza seh. And to you ppl who keep saying he's the biggest thing since Bob, what are you using to judge that?

Congrats Mavado I wish you all the best & I enjoy your music very much; however lets not forget artists like Bob Marley & the Wailers,Beenie Man, Beres Hammond,Buju Banton, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Shabba Ranks and Freddie McGregor who all did outstanding jobs in giving reggae music international fame and last but not least, the one & only Lady Saw, the hottest female dance hall queen ever in Jamaica. The only other femle come close to her is Lady G - "One love to all of you. Live & Let Live".
