Slow Wine | Nailah Blackman & Konshens | Trinidad 2020

Nailah Blackman and Konshens deliver a very sensual and sometimes provocative experience for this music release entitled "Slow Wine" on the newly minted "Bitter Sweet Riddim" by Precision Productions. This is new music for Trinidad and Tobago carnival 2020.

We have said before that the future of the Soca is Groove Soca and today you can experience the provocative nature of the art=form. We love what we are hearing and simple love Nailah's girlish and teasing vocal performance on this track. Nailah is dreamy and sensual and will have many guy dreaming of that 'Slow Wine" with her. Konshens ties up the story and puts the story in perspective.

We can all dream and this is what a good production can lead too... day dreaming is welcomed! Please like and share this post with on all social media platforms that you use... well done to all concerned.

Carry On | Patrice Roberts | Trinidad & Tobago 2020

Oh my goodness, Patrice Roberts x Problem Child is a match made in Soca music heaven. Simply put, Patrice killed it! I listened to all of the songs on the Pop's Guitar Riddim but kept coming back to "Carry On" by Patrice Roberts over and over again. This song kicks off the weekend with style.

Now don't get me wrong, much respect to Problem's song and Machel's track but this song by Patrice is way out front. Then again the music video takes it to another level. Damn, Soca 2020 just seems to be getting better, Parry Jack you are a boss! This is one riddim that will get the attention of everyone and will be talked about for sure. We love it.

Geezanages Patsy, you have kicked off the season with a song that is going to be a monster hit. I don't know what Problem Child was drinking but he should continue doing what he is doing because the lyrics on this song is just on point and more so when you watch the video that accompanies the music release.

The Pop's Guitar Riddim is one of the best released to date. It will take some time for the songs by Problem Child and Machel Montano to catch on... Patrice took this riddim, hands down just an awesome production.

Looking For China | Bunji Garlin | Trinidad & Tobago 2020

What is Bunji Garlin really looking for? Do you think that he is looking towards the far east or a mythical namesake? Well lets take a look at what is going on here and come to terms with this song that has some slick, sly lyrical content.

This is new music for Trinidad and Tobago carnival 2020. The song is entitled "Looking For China" performed by the Viking of Soca.

Let's head on over to YouTube where the song was released and look at some of the comments. All those who claim to know what Bunji is singing about have tuned in to their creative side of the thinking process.

We all know that Calypsonians, and by extension Soca artistes, can be very clever with the use of what we know as double entendre writing skills that are uses to deliver witty dual meaning lyrical content.

Some of the comments read that they 'got it" immediately. Nice, then again, some have called it witty and even said that 'only the Viking' can get away with something like that. What do you think is going on here? What did Bunji and his clever co-writer(Fay Ann Lyons Alvarez) have in mind when they wrote this song? Consider this, take out the word "China" and substitute with the word "Gina" as in vagina. Ahem, pay attention... this is where you stop reading and press play to really listen and pay attention to the lyrical content.  Oh now you get it! Clarity of thought and the skill of our song writers become evident.

They talked about the 'the precious gem you cyar find it', 'right of passage' and how it is 'it is expensive to get to but nice when you get through' and 'it is written in our dna' to guide you to the saucy dual meaning of this song. The trials and tribulations written in our dna to seek and find and the rewards when you find it because x marks the spot! Listen well and follow Garlin as he cleverly navigates this saucy topic. We think you will get it.

Wrong Again | Skinny Banton | Grenada 2019/Trinidad 2020

Horn meh but doh leave me...  well, not exactly friends. Horn does hurt, horn does kill, horn is not good for the soul and causes so much pain! However, for those observing the horn situation this makes for great kankalang! Today, we premiere a song entitled "Wrong Again", this song is about 'getting horn' sung by Skinny Banton that was released for Grenada's summer carnival 2019. Now let's get to it!

Visitors form North America/Europe/people not familiar with Caribbean culture: To horn someone is to cheat in the relationship with an emphasis on sexual encounters. 

The cry is always 'what did I do wrong'? Well there is a saying in the islands that goes like this: once a dog learns to suck egg it will suck egg for the rest of its life.  Horn is real and it hurts, that is if you are on the receiving end of the disturbance. Then again for those dong the horning... that damn thing sweet for days... ent!

Ok, ok but what about the song? This song has relevance for carnival year after year because with carnival and feting, comes horning! This phenomenon is prevalent for carnival until someone gets caught. We like the fact that Skinny Banton approached this song with such passion. The lyrical content is on point and the vocals sound like someone who got hurt via the horn syndrome. Somethings always have some truth to it... ask Skinny about that!

The music production, the vibe, the vocals and the lyrical content are all on point. We love what we hear and think that this song will cross over to Trinidad and Tobago carnival 2020. It has what it takes music wise, lyrically and since Trinis like to horn then we contend that this song will be a hit in Trinidad and Tobago for carnival 2020.

The following lines from the song show the pain that horn can create. Remember not to 'hate on love my friends'!
When I  say
Ah fed up with horn.
Alluh feel is joke ah making.

I doh want to hate on love.
But Sometime ah keep debating.

She say I is she only lover,
she only friend.
Me make ah wish, mark it with pen.

Ah sleep, and I had a dream,
Wake uphand make ah vow.
Soon as everything complete now we sour now.

Chorus
What ah do wrong again lawrd?
Tell me what ah do wrong again!
People calling me name lawrd'
They say ah get horn again!

This is a review of the song by Di Soca Analyst: We break down Skinny Banton's latest hit "Wrong Again." It's a chune that is having both men and women sing out against horning (cheating).

Journey Of The Enabler | Dale Ryan x Singing Sandra | Trinidad 2020

The message is in the journey... "Life is a journey". Oh, what a journey and along the way we make choices that not only affect us but those who we care about. The road you choose to walk, the role you choose will ensure a pleasant and productive life and journey. This is new educational music from the stalwart of Soca, Singing Sandra along with the brilliant Dale Ryan. Kudos to Central Records for an excellent production... to all those involved with this track... well done!

The haunting chants of the Shango Baptist resonate with this production. There is no doubt that the song writers, Dale Ryan and Emmanuel Rudder, wrote this one with Sandra DeVines on their minds. We need more songs that carry a message, well written and pore raising vocals. We love this song and confidently approve the message that accompanies this music production.
