Positively Nelsons – The US Virgin Islands Conscious Reggae Sisters

Reggae sister act Positively Nelsons are US Virgin Islands sisters, Arvian A.K.A. "Sparkles" and Stephanie A.K.A. "Empress Auset" who have been singing harmonious, motivational, inspirational and conscious reggae and gospel vibes for over 20 years at various venues across the globe.
It was not however until 2005 that they formerly become recording artists. Their music is an eclectic combination of various smooth and rhythmic reggae styles that will provoke thought, have you sitting at the edge of your seat or moving intrinsically towards the dance floor with lyrics that are filled with culture and meaning. Overall, the songs are uplifting, motivational and straight to the point with either Reggae Bubblers (featured on this blog here) or JamRock Reggae Band from Raleigh, NC supplying the riddims

The sisters have recorded four albums to date with 1st album, ‘No More Tumble Weed’, released in July 2005, followed by, ‘Wait A Minute’, released a year later in July 2006. Then after a short hiatus the 3rd album, ‘Know Where You’re Going’ was released in November 2008, before finally in February 2009 the 4th album, ‘So, Let Dem Talk’ hit the shelves.
These albums have variously been described as “a must listen to CD for all the conscious reggae fans” by Al Baptiste Sr (Xpress Band, Virgin Islands) on ‘No More Tumble Weed’ and Alton Aimable (tropicalfete.com ) said of ‘Wait A Minute’ “A CD that is a musical Trojan to penetrate every ones mind and soul with lyrics to make you think.”
It is hoped that more great music will be available from the sisters soon but until then you can get any of their previous releases from
