 | | Professor Rex Nettleford gave his endorsement of Steppin', the new album by singer Sheila Hylton, which was formally unveiled to the media and the music fraternity at the Liguanea Club on Thursday evening last. |
 | | In a message read by Andrene Bonner, the professor said, "The launch of this new album by Sheila Hylton is worthy of the celebration it deserves from compatriots and fellow-artistes who have journeyed with her along a long road of exploration and experimentation to bring stature and respect to the music." |
 | | Placing the album in a historical context, the university professor said that Sheila Hylton's delivery of melodic contours, underpinned by the power of the beat, could only have come from the exciting, even at times, contentious encounters between Europe and Africa engaging the genius of contemporaries in the Americas. |
