Raja-Nee' "Come Get This Love", one of the top tunes this year (although originally issued on
ThaSaint's album "This Is Us" last Sep), is getting a new mix from Samuel Archer due out on 2
Jul 2021.
I posted a sample yesterday, but with Raja-Nee's approval here now is
the full version prior to release next Friday.
Raja-Nee's real name is Alicia Renee Knott-Freeman (but answers to Renee in the main) and she told me the story of how she became known as Raja-Nee'.
"My producer at the time asked me what did I like, I said reggae! He
said Reggae Nee’, Raga Nee’ and then Raja-Nee’, I said that’s it!!! I
knew it meant ruler or king. But it was confirmed on a flight to Los
Angeles an Indian flight attendant said, do you know what your name
means? I said yes, a ruler. She said Nee meant born as, so it means
“Born as a ruler”. I was like perfect! "
She was active in 1994 and released a few singles and an album "Hot &
Ready" and had a UK #42 hit with 'Turn It Up' in Mar.1995.
She was spotted by Marshall Thompson of The Chi-Lites who mentored her
and she toured with The Chi-Lites and performed on their 1990 "Just
Say You Love Me" album. Later she signed to a deal with Auto &
Cherokee who got her an audition with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis which
led to a solo project on their Perspective label where they produced
her hit track "Turn It Up" which also featured on "Low Down Dirty
Shame" movie soundtrack in 1994.
In 2020 she re-emerged from her musical hiatus with a vengeance with
"Come Get This Love" making a noise, especially in the UK.
The song was written by Richard Wilford & Raja-Nee’, produced by and
featuring John ThaSaint Morris & Wilfred Frelix and first appeared on
ThaSaint's album "This Is Us" in Sep 2020. It was released as a single by
Raja-Nee in Mar 2021.
Raja-Nee’ desired to have a remix produced and teamed up with Samuel
Archer (the founder of “Muzilog” an online magazine publication) to
produce a remix track. "Come Get This Love (The Samuel Archer Remix)" will
be available for sale on July 2, 2021.
