This multi-sided artist has her own musical identity, which is the fruit and product of her cultural crossing. Born of a Québécois father and Jamaican mother, the young singer managed to combine her ethnic background and origins to integrate them into her unique style, Ragasoul.
Ragasoul includes not only the Caribbean’s feel good rhythms and vibes, but also that of world beat music. Whether we think of Bob Marley, of Youssou N’Dour or of Ragasoul, their similarities reside in their desire to supply humanity with positive energy. This type of music broadens our horizons and creates a permanent bridge enabling us to go in search of beauty and diversity in all that is unknown to us. Jodie’s deep and lustful voice gives a bewitching signature sound to all of her tracks. The word raga originates from Sanskrit, meaning color and passion. It describes this young artist, whose presence on stage and vocal strength remind us of Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill, with undeniable accuracy.
Jodie is involved in all aspects of musical creation. Aside from writing her own songs, she also composes her melodies in collaboration with renowned Canadian, French and American producers. She sings in English, in French and in Jamaican patois.
Watch out, she's back....
- RAGASOUL LYRICS -
[PATOIS INTRO]
YUH TINK SHE YUH DID NICE EH? IT'S FUNNY HOW THINGS
CHANGE THOUGH RIGHT? CAUSE DIS YA TIME YA A MI A DI NICE ONE.
[VERSE 1]
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL
NOW WHO'S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL?
THOUGHT COU COULD PLAY ME, THOUGHT YOU COULD DECIEVE ME
IT'S FUNNY HOW THINGS QUICKLY CAN CHANGE
WAIT UP, WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO HAD TO LET ME GO?
WAIT UP, DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU HAD TO BE ALONE?
[CHORUS]
IF YOU WANNA PLAY DON'T PLAY WITH ME
CAUSE I'M GONNA KNOCK YOUR EGO DOWN
WANT A REAL WOMAN THEN COME AND SEE ME
CAUSE I'LL KNOW JUST HOW TO HOLD YOU DOWN
IF YOU WANNA LOVE THEN COME AND LOVE ME
CAUSE I'LL KNOW JUST HOW TO LOVE YOU BACK
CAUSE YOU SEE WITH ME THERE'S NO AMBIGUITY
CAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE AND BACK
[B VERSE]
CAN'T FILL MY HEART, CAN'T FILL MY SOUL
DEN BAD MAN A MI YUH HAFFI LET GO
CAN'T FILL MY HEART, CAN'T FILL MY SOUL
DEN BAD MAN A MI YUH HAFFI LET GO
[VERSE 2]
I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE
NOW I WANT MORE THAN YOU COULD GIVE ME
NOW YOU SAY YOU NEED ME WANNA COME AND SEE ME
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONE TO BLAME
WAIT UP, WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO HAD TO LET ME GO?
WAIT UP, DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU HAD TO BE ALONE?
