Please note that we are posting the new music releases to our Facebook Portal; we have also created a YouTube playlist of the new music releases.
We have been hit hard by Covid-19; if you haven't, give thanks. Sadly, I, (my family and friends) lost my beloved brother-in-law, the carnival party animal, Michael Brian Hernandez aka "Brain" to his friends; he will be sorely missed. Brian never missed carnival and he loved Trinidad and Tobago. He traveled to Trinidad regularly to attend parties, fetes, Tobago Jazz festival, and 'just because' for a good lime hanging with the people he loved. This one hit us hard and because of this unexpected tragedy, we are taking it easy now.
If there is someone special in your life, a friend or family member, don't wait to let them know how special they are and what they mean to you... hug someone you love, don't wait because you may lose the chance to tell them how you really feel.
Cowen (on the left) & Brian aka Brain
So catch the new tracks on our Facebook portal and from our YouTube music player. Posting to the blog will resume when this sadness lifts! In the meantime, we will keep the music playing because Brian loved his Soca and as he always said, "one life to live, enjoy it"!

Covid-19 may be causing serious carnival consternation in the Caribbean basin but our music producers and artists are forging ahead with new music for all carnival loving fans. These new music releases will relieve all of your vibe anxieties. When one thinks of it, new Soca music should come with a 'year-round-expectation' attached to the genre. Soca is not just carnival music but music loved and expected with a 12-month release cycle. So let's get to it, today we release new music produced by Stadic x Jonny Blaze. These two producers and not standing still but are blazing a new trail with some excellent music production.
This riddim features the following artists and songs:
Kerwin Du Bois x Destra Garcia - Stress Reliever
Patrice Roberts x Kemar Highcon - Start UP
Konshens - Soda
Azaryah - Sweetest
Pick the one you like, better yet, put them all on replay; we did just that and the came away with good feelings and a smile on our faces. We all needed a little relief looking forward to next year and it was a pleasant surprise listening to an early music release featuring Destra Garcia. The talented lady teamed up with one of our favorite singers, Kerwin Du Bois with that needed "Stress Reliever".
Patrice, oh Patrice... this lady is on top of her game once again. Let's keep our fingers crossed that she drops half a dozen songs for the upcoming season. She teamed up with Jamaican Dancehall singer Kemar Highcon to 'Start-Up' de-ting! We all want more from Patrice!
Konshens is already a star out of Jamaica and comes with international credentials. He adds his unique style to the Candy Shack Riddim with our West Indian love affair with soda. If that wine is sweet like soda then everything is just right.
The riddim concludes with a song entitled "Sweetest" from the singer Azaryah. Seumas Keelan Callender aka Flipo now goes by the name Azaryah. This young talent is multi-talented and has produced, recorded, collaborated, and wrote songs for various artists. Today we are blessed with his vocal talent with all the sweetness that he can give for the Candy Shack Riddim.
We are confident that you will find something to love on the riddim. As a fan of the various artists, you have a winner then again, as a fan of Soca music you have four winners. Enjoy some sweet new music from Stadic, Jonny Blaze, and friends.

Kes and Voice said it in "Dear Promotor", "Once ah Trini reach in yuh fete is niceness". Well, we are taking today's music offering and doing the same with the song! Oh yes, it is about time someone told the world that Trinidad and Tobago (Trinis) have 'real ting'; yes, "We Ha Ting" for the World. Our music is fantastic, we can shout out to the world that we gave them the calypso music, the steel pan, Soca and Chutney Soca... yes, indeed 'we ha ting'. If you are a fan of good music then you will appreciate this offering... we have 'ting' for you!
Oh, and by the way, we know how to get on bad (in a good way) when it comes to having fun and yes, we like to lime! "We ha ting", we have real ting! This is new music from Kerwin Du Bois, entitled "We Ha Ting". Thank you Kerwin Du Bois for reminding us that we can take pride in who we are as a nation and people. We have real ting and we are sharing it with the World! Nice...

This is a very simple post with a song that could be considered simple but has so much weight when one takes in the message in the music. Delivered with the national instrument and the Sans Humanite melody, George Rampersad pays tribute to the 'silent majority' during the Covid-19 pandemic.
These are unusual times but our people and culture will continue trive regardless of the situation. Having said that, we all need some support and this song provides the encouragement needed to carry on. We all have a part to play in life but many go unnoticed especially in times of crisis. We are confident that this song will will help you find some comfort through these difficult times... to our heroes we say, lend an ear!
Today we present a song done to pay tribute to our unheralded heroes. This is the brainchile of George Rampersad. Tell us what you think about his offering.
From the artiste:
"When people say that they are proud of what I do, I feel humbled and privileged... that I can contribute something positive to the tradition of what those who went before us, that defined our cultural expressions".

Voice is the gift that just keeps giving... and we can't get enough of this talented artiste out of Trinidad and Tobago. People seek and find love in so many ways. Regardless, the end is always the same, unrequited love that quiets the soul and makes the heart fall in love. We all need some love in our lives and if for a moment, we can find it then we can dance away if but for a fleeting moment in time... the lucky ones find it and live it for a lifetime.
If you are a fan of Voice then, I guess you are 'dancing away' with this one on constant replay. It feels like everything Voice sings sounds really good. Then again, the lyrical content draws you in and makes you a believer! Unlike so many Caribbean singers in the Soca market, their lyrical content is sadly lacking! Voice, on the other hand, always brings lyrical content that digs deep making you want more. We are a fan and we love this new music release. Please share this post with all of your social media contacts.

From the artiste:
True love doesn’t just change the way its host sees its object, it changes the way they both see the world henceforth. This love brings you together and sets you apart. The expression of this love becomes a song that you move in unison to like perfect choreography. I hope we all find that love...that person we want to dance with forever.

Don't be numb and dumb and never hold your tongue, always talk the truth... ahh, we have one that walks the talk today. This is new music from Mistah Shak x Derwin Vallie, the song is entitled, "Raise Yuh Voices". Fans of Mistah Shak will be sharing this song on all social media platforms for sure; this one is pure fire!
It is a known fact that the calypsonian is the voice of the people and it does not matter what style the song drops the message is always in the music. It matters not if it is calypso or rapso or, as they coined for this one, "Vokalypso" the message is on point. So much has happened for the year 2020 but the voice of the people has to be heard. So much hate, so much misunderstanding coming out of the United States has left us numb... not even the scourge of Covid-19 hurts as much as what has taken place and continues to take place in the United States. Today, we can console ourselves that our continued protest will lead to change. So don't be numb and dumb and never hold your tongue... the voice of the people will prevail!
From YouTube:
"Raise Yuh Voices", was born out of the unrests of 2020. How we choose to respond to the events impacting humanity today, will directly determine the quality of life our children and grandchildren experience in the future. It's time to 'Raise Yuh Voices!'
From the artist's FaceBook page:
With EVERY SINGLE ELEMENT of the music having been created by producer Derwin Vallie's voice (Yesss is only mouth-instruments & tones in dey), then perfectly synergized with Mistah Shak's penetrating lyrics & commanding vocals, there can hardly be a more socially relevant, appropriately titled, sonically potent piece of musical artillery for these serious, perilous times, than dis... Rapso??🤔...Calypso??🤷🏾♂️...BOTH ah dem??🤨....aahhhhh!...de scientist Vallie say we go call it, VOKALYPSO!!
