At a steady rate, the Bahamian entertainment scene is blossoming into what will be a reputable one someday. Aspiring pop acts, artists and musicians are turning up from every corner and we have a new one to present to you.
Queen’s College High School graduate Dinetia Dean is beginning what will hopefully be a successful career in the music industry. Those of us who know her as Dinetia Dean will have to get use to her stage name, Saniyah, now. Saniyah was the leading lady in the music video for Big AC‘s “The Anthem.” Fast forward a few months to the day she released her debut single, “Abuse the Music,” and here is what Dash had to say:
Abuse the music is the debut single from Bahamian Pop singer Saniyah. It’s obvious that this chick has grown up on some Janet Jackson (and to a lesser degree some Ciara) because the influences are unavoidable. The sound is urban but has a slight europop undertone with minimal yet pristine production. Overall it is a fair first offering, which neither dazzles nor disappoints. Really what this song needs is some more ABUSE!! We just wish that the song was attacked with more vigor. Instead of pouncing like a ferocious lioness the chorus was approached like a house cat playing with a ball of yarn. On a more positive note we must give two thumps way up for the songwriters who have crafted something that is danceable and smooth and has an international appeal.
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. The single is a solid first effort but there is a lot of growth to be done.
