Gage upbeat about new track

Gage is confident his latest single, Come Closer, will be one of the biggest for 2015.

Produced by Dutty Fridaze Production (a company owned by West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle) and Cornelius Daley, the up-tempo dancehall track was released last week.

“Come Closer just drop a week ago, it a di hottest ting a road. It a get crazy airplay already, mi know it a go be a big hit,” said Gage.

The track has also been doing the Internet rounds since its release.

“Mi phone nuh stop ring since Come Closer release. Mi Facebook and mi Twitter page a blow up. Di hits dem crazy pon YouTube.”

Daley, a member of the artiste’s management team, said the feedback has been positive.

“Although the year just began, I’m confident that this song is going to be one of the biggest songs for the year. People are calling from all over the Caribbean, the States and the UK about it,” said Daley.

Gage (given name Ryan Douglas) has been gaining ground in the dancehall over the last year. He was scheduled for a clash with artiste Tommy Lee Sparta at the Boxing Day show Sting, which did not materialise.

“Last year was a great year for Gage. Everywhere mi go, mi get a lot of love from di fans. Performing at Sting with Tommy Lee never hurt my career. This year a my year again, the fans can expect a lot more hits from me,” he said.

Gage’s other tracks include In Deh, Burning Son, Kitty Kat, Hey Mama, and Candy Man.
