Shella Topstar has ‘Options’

Dancehall artiste Shella Topstar says that his latest single, Options, is about his personal life.

"If I'm with a girl and she decides to leave, I'm not going to stalk her or be obsessive like other men because I have many other females waiting in line, many more choices," he explained.

"I've seen where men are killing women because they want to leave them, and that is purely wasteman behaviour. If a woman wants to leave, let her go, it's her choice." The track fuses dancehall and reggae.

The accompanying music video, which was directed by Michael 'Don1' Daley, premiered on the artiste's Vevo page on September 26 and features scenes across Montego Bay and Trelawny.

Growing catalogue

With a steadily growing catalogue of songs, Shella Topstar has been releasing new music throughout the year, but many of his plans had to be stalled due to the ongoing global pandemic.

"It has made a significant impact on me as an artiste. I had bookings for major events months in advance that had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I understand why it had to be done. We need to practise social distancing to lower the spread of the virus, and the sooner everyone gets on board with that, the sooner we can go back to normal and I can get back to shelling stage shows," he said.
