Bridgez

After taking a break from her music career to find a new management team, Bridgett Roache is now singing her way back.

After bursting on to the local scenes in 2006 with the single Best Friend, then recording I'm In Like and Not In Love, Bridgez, as she is more popularly known, is seeking to pick up where she left off.

"Well, I took a break to sort out some management issues. I am now looking forward to bigger and better things," Roache told THE STAR.

"At the moment, I am working with Flava from No Doubt Records, and things are going quite well; we really understand each other," she added.

Ever smiling

The ever-smiling artiste recently released a single in Germany and Japan. The song, titled So Fine, features Snow Cone and was done on his self-titled label.

The single will also be featured on the compilation album Reggae Dancehall Nature, which also features songs from Beenie Man, Lady Saw, Spragga Benz and Vegas, among a host of other artistes on the Snow Cone Productions Label.

Reggae Dancehall Nature Volume One will be first of the five volumes to be released.

Her latest single, Come On Home, features singing sensation Lukie D of the group LUST.

"The song is all about love. It's just saying, hey, no matter what happened between us in the past, let's just put it behind us and move on together," she said.

The Best Friend singer, however, knows that making it big won't be an easy feat to achieve, but she is prepared for whatever challenges may arise.

"I am aware that there will always be challenges, the first of those will be to please the listeners, especially here in Jamaica. The away crowd is always easier to please," said the Merlgrove High graduate.

Very memorable

Roache said one of her most memorable moments in her career was hearing her single, Take My Breath Away, playing on air.

"I cried tears of joy when I heard it for the first time. That's what most new artistes dream of, especially while shooting the video for it. Also when it peaked at number eight on the Cross Caribbean Countdown on Tempo, on which it stayed for over two months (was very memorable)," Roache said with obvious joy in her voice.

On the flip side, Roache spends her time away from the studio writing poetry, shopping and hanging out with friends.

"When I'm not in studio, I am with friends or just chilling doing things that I love," she emphasised.
