Jamaican dancehall-reggae outfit Voicemail recently completed work on its latest album, Next Level, which is to be released by Captive Music.

The album which is set for release later this year is led by the first single, I Got Love, which has now gone into rotation on Germany's Big FM pop radio station.

Voicemail members Kevin Blair and Craig Jackson recently did the promotional rounds in New York City, which was completed by a photoshoot and recording sessions. The duo also did a number of interviews to promote the upcoming project.

Early response to the I Got Love single has been positive. A popular blog compared the track to the style of international artiste Sean Kingston and described it as a summer smash.

Voicemail received great feedback from underground blogs as well as from mass media for their latest release.

The Voicemail members are obviously excited about the addition of the track to an international pop outlet such as Big FM.

"This is a great opportunity for us to build an audience in a major music market such as Germany. We're significantly interested in the steady growth of our fan bases overseas, especially in Japan, Europe and parts of the United States," said Kevin.

"I'm glad that music lovers in Germany appreciate our sound and our image. As a real, authentic Caribbean act, we want to show the uniqueness of our home country, Jamaica, to people around the globe," added Craig.

Known for hits including Get On Up, Let's Dance, Wacky Dip, Weddy Time, I Need You, Get The Money, Best Days Of My Life and Gangster Rock, Voicemail has, to date, released four studio albums.
