One of Jamaica’s most prominent media personalities has returned to the spotlight in a way that few expected.
Pepita Little aka Chica Pepita, former host of the popular Television Jamaica (TVJ)entertainment program, Intense, surprised fans and peers alike by unveiled her debut single on Wednesday. The curvaceous diva, who recently won the Youth View award for Media Personality of the Year, premiered her Reggae-themed single, via IRIE FM on Wednesday night, to rave reviews.
The sensual love song, produced by veteran hit maker, Colin ‘Bulby’ York, features soothing vocals from Pepita as she talks of those who’ve found their ideal partner to complete them.
In it she sings, “Since you came into my life, everything was alright right from the very start, the only one for my eyes, it’s no surprise you’ve stolen my heart. I know you love me baby, you don’t have to say so, for something deep inside of me says I’ve got to let you know.”
This marks Pepita’s second crowning achievement since she was relieved of her duties as Intense host last December after a physical altercation with a co-worker inside TVJ’s studios. Since then, fans of the media personality have flooded the show’s Facebook page, demanding that they put her back on Intense as they felt that the show lost its touch without her. Intense has since been hosted on an interim basis by artiste turned media personality, Sanjay until show producers find a suitable, long-term replacement amongst hundreds of candidates who auditioned for the post this past January.
