Sometime in August, Dominica News Online presented a reggae cover (with a touch of rock rhythm stylings) of Beyonce’s Drunk in Love done by Carlyn XP of Fanatik Band.
We’re delighted to present to you a video version of that production.
The video was produced by Cornell Phillip (Carlyn’s husband and leader of Fanatik Band) for Imperial Publishing and directed, filmed and edited by Jawanza Stuart.
nice video.. people being idiotic about the love interest not being her husband.. it’s called acting. the guy was very sexy i might add video was beautifully done, although more interaction between them would have been better. but for a dominican made video(yes i did say that) it was well done. because lets be honest..most videos by local artists look like they were filmed with a phone and edited by amateurs.
Great cover but video too tame for the song
Dominicans to small ***** mindede,thats why we the way we are…Did you guys read her husband was the one who produced the video,let the girl be frr ,was she naked?NO….And personnally i thing Mrs Phillip is ver talented ,but the Million Dollar Quwstion is,Does she have to Keep her Self in a damn Box Untill Jesus Chrsit Come?Come on Dominicans ,STOP IT 2015,…..LETS CHANGE OUR WAYS………..Mrs.Phillip,i love the video………..
Please bare this in mind Phillip Family,Let the couples leave their Life ,Its theirs Not Yours,The Husband produce the video it was great,…If he was not content with it he would have not produce….
If carlyn had put a husband in the video people will still talk,he not sexy, check out his belly, check out his white hair all that people will say,you cant really please human being
well u said it so…. can’t speak for others
3 comments:
1. The bathrobe is too much, should have worn a light (chiffon) pullover instead, we have seen Carlyn on stage with A LOT less before.
2. Why keep the wedding ring on? Its a video, a.ka. a movie… we know she’s married but this is not the husband, shouldn’t have kept it on for the video.
3. The wine glass she’s holding… water… only water leaves droplets like that on the glass, best they had used apple juice instead… at least the amber color would have distracted us… or heck, why not use real white wine???
Besides these three observations, Carlyn has a naturally strong voice and she is a great performer. She and her husband make a formidable pair. Overall, great job.
Great talent beautiful song I still believe she should done that video with her husband I think it would create a little more spice and flavor to it , just saying , GO D/A GO D/A
Lizavier4jesus is fighting for attention, now you know carlyn let people express themselves with the video….they have a point
was not impressed should have used her husband in the video.
Excellent voice, lousy video
beautiful voice , great variation of the song but lacks chemistry between Carlyn and the guy. For the lyrics of that song…it should be more erotic and captivating ……Maybe it has to do with marital status but it’s just my 2 cents but overall good job.
She sings well but that video is a waste….no story line to the video.. she seem quite disconnected to the guy….maybe her husband shud benin d video so she cud do some.more…. i swear there were only 3 scenes in d vid.. she singing.by the window, dancing with the guy and she singingwhike tye guy models on the couch
So I guess Carlyn XP should put Carlyn Xavier Phillip personal live on camera? There is the artist, there is the person and they are should remain separate when it comes to their role.
One thing a reggae cover of any track out there does does add a certain spice to de ting eh. My girl that was a great job! (Gully Bop voice)
Great
look no further, we have talent right here in DA.

Yeah! And she is my niece, just in case you do not know! Our whole family is blessed with great talent. My talent is “Spiritual” by which I can call for your demise. So be careful what you speak against me, on DNO–the next time you decide to do so. I am warning you, be careful! whoever you are.

And what kind of writing is this. Why did you capitalize every word in your sentences. What is the message which you are sending to her, it made no sense to me!
@ Lizavier…. There is the situations Present.
Please, lean not unto your own understanding and therefore you will not try an attack Anything That Is GOOD.
Today , if We Stand Before Carlyn, if Asked About Us, she Will Have Sincere Words To Share. And she can Do the same away from her sight. We Care And Will Show Love Towards Carlyn.
It appears that you have heard reports of Carlyn or familiar with her, in her early stages of life, maybe under ten years old. The Carlyn We know is wise, responsible, capable of so many things. This is Why We said’Blessed Beyond measure of many’. If you knew Carlyn Well enough you would encourage her differently. Many Comments We Read here Shows Genuine Concerns for Carlyn and family. Some Spoke With Love.
We expect that you would share LOVE With her , especially if you call On The Name Of The LORD , but to Many you fell short of that. Could it be because you recognize ‘jesus’.SO Great HE IS We Adore HIM , JESUS. If you have tasted,Remember To Share
I am so lost. What does this have to do with the topic at hand? I must be missing something.
I am very disappointed. I expectef an original track gor a debut video. I expected more emotional scenes for a song og thay nature
you expected an original track when the article clearly stated that it was a cover song??? you dislike reading that much or do have an inability to comprehend?
OMG! I can’t stop watching the video. The caribbean sound and her voice, beautiful. She’s beautiful.
May you continue to see God’s blessings for your Life, my dear brother’s daughter; just stay where you belong–no matter what they demands; God will show you all the paths of His plan for you.
Hello and good evening my people. Well I look at the video and this lady can sing but they should have used more colors. You must look into the camera so we can look into you’re eyes and feel the beauty of the song. Nice Nice.
Woy
I find it to be very inappropriate for a married woman!!!!
but also a very interesting ideology
Not d husband that direct d video nuh…aa….. i doe see with u
@person December 27, 2014
Who should be more “drunk in love” than a married woman?
@person. the video is a story that’s being told. so only single people should act on stage or in a film then? the ignorance in the air is something else.
Niceeeeeeeer
very nice…..only one thing and thats just me n i know some girls dont like it……i would have put more colour on her face….but shes a beautiful girl doh and well done…..we can go places with this i say
@genie December 27, 2014
The women of my family–she is one of us–do not wear make-up. Her beauty is natural–the God creation in her. Make-up is man-made, which vanishes even before you wash your face–we do not need it.
If i were you i would stop that **** and let people express themselves. one have to accept critics and grow from them. stop fighting smh
@lizavier how many times do you plan on telling us that she is part of your family?
nice video…..who is that guy in the video? didnt make out the face well
Wow ! Professionally done. Great work.
