iPhone Photo Apps Aren't The Only Apple-Ware That's Got Garlin Intrigued!
Like a child in a candy store, such is the similarity of soca artiste, Bunji Garlin’s reaction to gadgets and tech-ware, whether hardware or software. These days he says he’s been playing around with some iPhone photo apps that have been lending to some pretty neat images. Yesterday however, his eyes were glued to the tube at home in Moka, Trinidad where he was taking in Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference which took place in San Francisco. He said already he’s psyched about the new Mac Pro and the prospects of the IOS7 operating system.
Some of the specs of the Mac Pro that Bunji’s a little excited about.
Bunji was eager to talk tech earlier this morning- as early as 8:50 folks! He said he likes the re-faced interface being touted by the Cupertino, California based company and in his own words, “how they polished the Maverick and stuff was nice to see as well.”
In case you’re not all that tech savvy- don’t worry we’ll help you along. The OS X Maverick is actually Apple’s new name for the operating system that will come on stream with the new line of hardware that’s been introduced. Bunji told ETCETERABUZZ that he wasn’t into anything else really since he was basically looking for gadgets that would aid in his musical craft. “We have to keep abreast of the technology because this is a technological age and we’ve just begun scratching the surface when it comes to discoveries and inventions,” he said. And on whether he’ll be rushing to the online Apple cashier anytime soon, the ‘Differentology’ singer said, not quite. He said he may get some accessories but none of the core items, just yet.
Bunji’s always got his gadgets in tow. Seen here with wife, Fay-Ann he’s got his music close with Beats By Dre headphones.
Bunji Garlin released a new single called ‘Famous’ last week alongside Kardinal Official. He’s told us he’s preparing to unleash a follow up single this weekend, so we’re definitely gonna be listening out for that!

Lila Ike Bridges Generations, Gets Nod of Approval from Patra on ‘Romantic’ Remake.
Jamaican reggae singer, Lila Iké embraces confidence on her sultry, new single, “Romantic” which features dancehall artiste, Masicka. The track and its accompanying video arrive alongside the exciting announcement of her highly anticipated debut album, Treasure Self Love, which is set for release on August 22nd.
“Romantic,” hears Ike put a bold, empowering spin on Jamaican dancehall royalty Patra’s 1994 classic “Romantic Call.” The original track, featuring hip-hop icon Yo-Yo, peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, three decades later, Lila pays homage while making it her own. Patra herself opens and closes the track, blessing it with her own signature style.

The unity between Patra and Lila bridges generations of feminine power.
The song was produced by British-Ghanaian hitmaker Juls—known for work with Wizkid, Lauryn Hill, Burna Boy, and Tyler the Creator—andJamaican producer Dunw3ll. The video was directed by Shane Creative and offers that 90’s nostalgia, with Lila and her leading ladies rocking shimmery, throwback dancehall queen fashion. Modern day dancehall star Masicka jumps in with rapid-fire, flirtatious bars that amplify the chemistry
With “Romantic,” Lila Iké isn’t just revisiting a classic—she’s reinventing it for a new era. “‘Romantic’ is my way of paying homage to dancehall and of course the queens who made space for us — women like Patra, who taught us how to be bold, sensual, and unapologetic. I wanted to tap into that energy, which is very me anyways,” said the artiste.
“Masicka’s verse added that fire and dancehall balance I needed. It’s not just a throwback — it’s a whole new mood! Big up Patra for coming on board as well, that was a full circle moment,” she added.
