Clinark has recorded a reggae version of 'Smile' in memory of Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer of all time.
Clinark voiced and produced the final mixes at Blu Pro Studios in London, UK working with Engineer, John Webber. The recording included the Souls of Prophecy Gospel Choir, and also an extra acoustic guitar mix from Stanley Andrews and a classical piano mix from Guy Barzily of the Souls of Prophecy Choir. Sam Gilly of the House of Riddim Studio in Austria produced the riddim track
Clinark says Thanks to all the fans who requested that I record this cover of 'Smile' as it was Michaels favourite song. This was comes a few weeks after he released the cover of I'll Be There,' another Jackson 5 classic, sadly, just before Michael died.
The Lovers Rock style single with various mixes will be available in shops in November 2009 and on MP3 download from ITunes, Napster, CD Baby and Amazon. The tracks are released under Clinarks own label, Nurture Projects Music.
