For emerging dancehall artiste Kaylyn, there could hardly be a more fitting time to release Linstead Party, a single that reaches back into Jamaica’s rich cultural heritage while bringing its own contemporary flavour. “Linstead Party is for everyone — young, old and middle-aged. For Kaylyn, music has always been closely tied to community. Looking back, Kaylyn considers one of her proudest achievements to be the journey from performing for family members to recording professionally. As Jamaicans prepare to celebrate another year of freedom and nationhood, she hopes Linstead Party can add to the soundtrack of the season by bringing generations together through music.
