Eljai Releases His 4th Project With Asani Ali Music – Rock Me Baby

Reggae International Superstar Eljai – often called Eljai Royal released his 4th project with Asani Ali on an uptempo love ballad that is sure to have you tapping your toes and singing along.

In this song Eljai puts fort lyrics that reflects his take on love and romance. It is a beautiful, warm, soul touching song that shows off the full spectrum of his voice. “Rock Me Baby” gives Eljai a platform where he details how one particular partner can make him drop every inhibition as he sings, “Let’s go out tonight and sip champagne under the moonlight, let’s go out tonight and make love underneath the star light.”

Love To The End Of The World

In “Rock Me Baby”, it seems like Eljai is clearly ready to follow love to the end of the world.

ELJAI was born Lloyd Carlton McFarlane Jr. in Belize City, Belize. Soon after, his family moved to the countryside where most of his early years were spent. ELJAI has always been known for his humble and kind ways, joyous laughter and his spiritual enlightening conversations. At the age of five, ELJAI’s family moved back to Belize City where he attended the Ebenezer Primary School Here he met new friends and discovered his hidden musical talent.

The Early Years

ELJAI began singing at school rallies and contests. His talent developed rapidly and he was encouraged by his friends and family to pursue his career in music. In the late 1980s ELJAI moved to Los Angeles, California knowing exactly what he wanted to do and ready to focus on his career. He was introduced to the DOMINATORS, a local band and was asked to become their lead singer- a position which he gladly accepted. During this time, his love for singing and music grew tremendously and he started to also develop an interest in songwriting.

Early Releases

In 1989, ELJAI released the EP Give Your Loving To Me, in his native country, Belize. The song, written by ELJAI, sky rocketed on the charts and introduced him as a major artist. ELJAI continued to grow and develop his fan base. Later that year ELJAI was asked by a friend to be a guest artist on the Pupa Curly’s “Free Mandela single. In the early 90s Carl MacGregor, the producer of his first EP, introduced ELJAI to Kerry Gordy, the son of the legendary founder of Motown Records, Berry Gordy. After the meeting, the group Belize was formed with ELJAI, Carl and Delly McGregor.

Connect With Eljai

ELJAI and Belize continued to hone their writing skills. They were soon signed to Prince’s Paisley Park label where they recorded their first album. Belize was later signed to Warner Brothers where they wrote and released “I’m Looking Out For You,” the theme song for the TV show, Real Stories Of The Highway Patrol.

His debut CD, Da Rebirth was recorded in 2006 with the production help of musician / producer Fabian Cooke (Born Jamericans / Ziggy Marley / Lion King soundtrack) and master drummer, Carlton “Santa” Davis (Peter Tosh, Soul Syndicate, Ziggy Marley). The single “Blessed” was a big hit that year and later rerecorded with the help of the popular dancehall artist Capleton aka ‘The Prophet.’ Another song collaboration and video with General Degree “Down In The Wilderness” gained a lot of chart and media attention.

Rock me now is one of those songs that don’t need any explanation because the lyrics speak for themselves – If you feel like rocking, am a rock your bones. Come and rock me now baby.
