(Rain PR)-Dancehall's first lady D'Angel is showing off her goods on The Runway - her lyrical goods that is. D'Angel's "Yes Mi Know" is one of the stand-out tracks on A-Team Music's Reggae-fusion Dance album The Runway. Featuring her husband, Dancehall King Beenie Man, "Yes Mi Know" is a sassy nod to independent women that know their worth. The Runway, the A-Team's first full-length album released earlier this month, is available on iTunes and all digital outlets.

The Runway, is a multi-layered project that fuses various forms of Reggae, Dancehall, Pop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, and Gospel over a pulsating Dance groove. The A-Team, best known for producing Black Rob's come-back single "Ventilation," and Mr. Vegas's hit "Must Come A Road," crafted The Runway to reflect the emotional garb that we wear day to day. On "Yes Mi Know," D'Angel & Beenie Man prance down The Runway wearing an air of confidence and an avante garde suit of entitlement.


"I was vibing to The Runway rhythm, which has a fun and sassy beat, coming up with different lyrics, when Moses [Beenie Man] started chiming in with 'yes mi know,' and everything fell into place," says Michelle "D-Angel" Downer-Davis on how she came up with the concept for the single.

"There is a lot of really good female talent in Reggae and Dancehall right now and D'Angel is definitely at the front of the line in terms of deejays," says A-Team CEO and The Runway executive producer Stanley 'Rellee' Hayden. "D'Angel brings her own unique flavor to the album. Coupled with Beenie Man's energy, I'm not surprised that 'Yes Mi Know' is one of the popular tracks on the album."

D'Angel scored her break-out single "Downtown Girl Living Uptown" in 2005. Since then she has scored several hits including "One Man" featuring Beenie Man, "Baby Father" with Vybz Kartel, "Blaze," and "Stronger."

D’Angel continues to show why she is a force to be reckoned with when she made her entrance on Sumfest - Dancehall Night over the weekend. The Dancehall fashionista dressed in a gold and red ensemble courtesy of acclaimed designers Uzuri International took centerstage at 11:30pm following a commendable set from Ding Dong. Despite the soggy grounds, that did very little to stop the thousands who came out to witness performances from some of the frontrunners in local entertainer and D’Angel like a true professional did not disappoint.

Opening with the upbeat numbers ‘Hot Gyal A Road’,  ‘You Are My First’ and ‘Baby Daddy’,  the latter two featuring her estranged husband Beenie Man  and Vybz Kartel respectively.  D’Angel quickly found favour with her audience and soon invited members of the Shady Squad dance group to join her on stage for ‘Come Over’  affording them the opportunity to showcase an array of spine bending dance moves. This was followed by the very inspirational ‘Stronger’ before delving into a medley of her other material from her growing catalogue.

At the end of her fifteen minutes the very tight and well co-ordinated set was well received and garnered her several nods of approval from the large gathering at Catherine Hall, Montego Bay.

“It was a great show, my set was well executed and I accomplished my goal which was delivering a good performance” – D’Angel said.  When asked what was different from her previous appearances she added “This year it was more about connecting with the audience and delivery and less about elaborate choreography and fanfare. I also want to laud the organisers for the high level of professionalism they bring annually to the staging of the festival”.

In early August, D’Angel is booked to appear on a number of events including Manchester Fiesta, Little Ochi Seafood Festival, Radio Jamaica (RJR) 60^th Anniversary and Splashy Connection in Little London, Westmoreland.
