Jadel redefines her sound—and her message
The soca siren is making a bold statement with her new single, Another Man—a track that calls on women everywhere to set clear, non-negotiable boundaries and standards in their romantic relationships.
The Woodbrook-born songstress, long recognised for championing female empowerment, says it’s time for women to stop settling.
“Too many women feel stuck in situations where they’re undervalued,” Jadel Legere said. “This song is a reminder that you deserve respect, love, and happiness. If you’re not getting that, then maybe it’s time to find another man.”
A silver lining for Jadel
For many local entertainers the emergence of COVID-19 weighed like a wet blanket on their career, however, for Jardine “Jadel” Cherelle Legere it was the silver lining to her cloud.
The upcoming entertainer with guidance from her management team took that time to identify where she is going, explore her competence and land the right song to win the favour of being featured on the BET and MTV channels.
Jadel became known in many households as and earned a spot on the soca monarch stage in 2018 with the soca song Round N Round. Her eight-year stint in the industry has also earned her airtime on international platforms, with the song Deserve it All; an anthem to woman power.
She believes she has grown as a person and has more virtues to be thankful for when she became a mother.
“When COVID happened, my management advised me to use this as an opportunity to be myself, to highlight my vocals without facing judgment or fear of not having it accepted…When my music video for Deserve It All was released, my manager Julian Hackett of JP Music Group handled the digital distribution, they believed the quality was strong enough to be pitched to MTV base and it was instantly accepted and was very popular within South Africa.
