Sanell Dempster - Heat (Video)

DeCooler recently looked like one of those numerous blogs that repost youtube videos. But hey, that’s cool - thanks to Tempo so many artists nowadays doing videos which helps the artists to get more exposure.
Here we go again with a video directed by Kevin Fires Morgan. Sanell Dempster is definitely the female singer from Trinidad with the most outstanding career. She won roadmarch 1999 with “De river” after singing in almost all popular brass bands like Traffik, Atlantik and Blue Ventures. Last year she rocked the carnivals with “Chokolade”
