Bahamian, Mr. J teams up with Canadian born singer, Sydney Bernknopf to
present his new single,
No Cat Calling. The duo delivers a message
advocating on behalf of women worldwide, calling for an end of street
harassment.
The song echos the emotions of
fear, discomfort and annoyance that women feel when cat called,
prompting for full walls of defense to be erected. Accompanied with a
sense of aggression from cat callers, women feel that what seems to be
fun and OK to a man, could quickly escalate into something more serious
than just a man screaming out at them for their attention. Mr. J urges
guilty parties worldwide to develop a sense of respect and humanity, to
treat women as human beings and not a piece of meat to be sampled and
handled in whatsoever manner.
No Cat Calling
was inspired by a Youtube video which displays a young woman walking
through the city streets of Manhattan. During her walk through, she was
silently followed by a young man walking alongside her (very creepy, as
if he knew her), scolded and received unwarranted remarks from strangers
to gain her attention. The walk through depicted experiences women
worldwide encounter, highlighting the need for a movement against such
behavior.
Mr. J lays the foundation for an
amiable discourse, hoping to gain the ears of the offenders, would be
offenders and sympathizers. As taught to humanity in the scriptures by
Jesus Christ, "do unto others", Mr. J says that if men would resolute in
their mind to honor God in their lives, that honor will transcend the
temptations and impulses to make sexual advances and remarks to women.
Adherence to the words from Christ, concerning a man fantasizing sex
with a woman to whom he is not married, deemed as fornication, will
elevate the spirituality and consciousness of men faithful to pleasing
God. The song is available for download on Itunes, Amazon, Cdbaby and
other popular music sites. Djs,music directors and radio personalities
