‘Songs I Love To Sing’ features 12 all-time hits that many of us have fallen in love with; songs that withstood decades. The songs making the cover album are – “Reasons” by Earth, Wind and Fire, “What’s Going On” (Marvin Gaye), “Me & Mrs Jones” (Billy Paul), “My, My, My” (Johnny Gill), “Suddenly” (Billy Ocean), “One In A Million You” (Larry Graham), “Play Me” (Neil Diamond), “I Am, I Said” (Neil Diamond), “No Easy Way” (James Ingram), “Rainy Night In Georgia” (Brook Benton), “Let Me Try Again” (Frank Sinatra) and “Since I Fell For You” (Al Jarreau).

The music production as a teaser posted a video of Bonny singing the cover of “Me & Mrs Jones” on Facebook and persons sang high praises of Bonny’s performance in the comment’s section and made their own song requests.

It was noted that the album took two weeks to be recorded and includes six videos of “Reasons,” “What’s Going On,” “Play Me”, “Rainy Night in Georgia,” “There’s No Easy Way” and “Me & Mrs Jones”.

Ssignal said in a release that it has always been the objective of the record label to “bring into realization the dreams of others” and in doing so, Bonny put his talent on the backburner becoming absorbed in the excitement of highlighting the talent of other artistes. It further said that after much persuasion, Bonny took to doing the covers as a testimony that Guyanese artistes are just as talented and versatile when it comes to the music industry.

Bonny, in a comment on the completion of the album, said, “[I feel] great! It’s an opportunity to showcase my talent, so that Guyanese can assess and compare our efforts [with] what is considered the benchmark globally.”

‘Songs I Love To Sing’ can be purchased at $1,500. For copies Bonny can be reached at 233-0680/675-5398/626-7671 or emailed at ssignalproductions@yahoo.com
