Leader of Government Commissioner William Marlin extends congratulations to St. Maarten's musical star Addison "Shadow Man" Richardson on the global release of his new album "This is me."The album was released in St. Maarten and globally last week Friday, 16th of April. It contains a combination of upbeat songs which takes listeners on a musical journey, some of which were shot with alluring St. Maarten scenes as the backdrop.
The new album will undoubtedly propel Shadow Man a few notches up the popularity scale as a serious and entertaining musician in the Caribbean, while showcasing St. Maarten as an appealing destination.
His contemporary Caribbean genre represents the best of St. Maarten and all things Caribbean and is a mixture of Soca, Calypso, ballads and hip hop crossover.
The new album, which contains hits such as Caribbean Cruise, White Line, and I, contains some collaborations with amongst other regional artistes Terry Seales and is a must have for every St. Maarten resident, Commissioner William Marlin said from The Hague.

Shadow Man's refreshing sound and unique style appeals to a wide audience. He is poised to be among the next big things out of the Friendly Island. Leader of Government, Commissioner William Marlin, who is stranded in The Hague for several more days, said that the Island Government of St. Maarten is proud of all its musicians including this musical star and wishes Shadow Man much success in his future endeavors.
The Island Government urges the community to continue to support local musicians including Shadow Man as he climbs the ladder of success.
