FORGED ACROSS DECADES: MA-ISHEEBA SERVES A SOULFULLY SPICED DUTCH POT
Three decades in music leave a mark. For acclaimed vocalist Ma-Isheeba, formerly known as Chyna Whyne, it’s left a rich, singular artistry. Now she returns with Dutch Pot, a gloriously sun-ripened reggae-funk single that simply pulls you in.
Released on the Rezzonator Music label, the track is all deep basslines, irresistible groove and unmistakable Jamaican flavour.
The inspiration runs deep. A Dutch Pot is the cast-iron vessel that slow-simmers dishes until they’re rich, tender and mouthwatering. Ma-isheeba applies the same philosophy to sound. This track simmers, teases and builds. Her vocals glide between soulful and sassy, joyful and confidently alive.
MY MUSIC IS ABOUT REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE
The track reignites her long-running partnership with veteran producer Mike McEvoy, known for his work with Soul2Soul, Steve Winwood and Mark Morrison. Remarkably, it was written in the 1990s. Three decades of stewing have only made it richer.
Having toured with Eric Clapton, Seal and The Who, and backed Peter Gabriel on Sledgehammer and Rick Astley on Never Gonna Give You Up, she now steps fully into her own spotlight.
“My music is about remembering who we are, through sound, through feeling, through connection to our roots,” she says.
Ultimately, Ma-isheeba’s Dutch Pot marks a delectable return, slow-cooked, deeply satisfying, and worth every moment of the wait.
