Reggae artiste Dubkore says he is pleased with the support he has been getting since the release of his debut album Arrogant Man in June 2010.

The Spanish Town-based singer/musician revealed that his 13-track album, produced by his own label, Pikki Head Records, is progressing steadily after debuting on Amazon Music, iTunes, and EMusic among others.

"The album is now finished and is doing well on several music outlets such as Amazon Music, iTunes and Emusic. We are trying step by step to reach the global market," said the roots-reggae singer, born Colin Llewellyn.

The album, which features singles like Little Love Story, Same Routine and Dream Girl, is expected to go far, according to Dubkore, who also asserted that fans can expect more quality work from him in the near future.

"The album deals with real life issues and anyone can relate to it, because that's what I sing about. I love music, and therefore I always try to bring out better music for the people to listen to, and that will never change," he said.

The current crop of artistes signed to Pikki Head Records are making steady strides, Dubkore admits, but female sensation Empress Que is one that he's paying closer attention to. The songbird, he says, is wooing fans all over whenever she touches the microphone.

"She's here working on her music, but our energy is focused on making the album a success. I have been watching her closely," he added.

Dubkore also disclosed that he and members of his Pick It Up band are currently engaged in extensive rehearsals in preparation for several upcoming shows.

He is also currently in studio working on new material that will be released later this year.
