Legionairenow - "Move On"

Trinidad and Tobago is known as the land of Steelband and Calypso, Soca, Chutney-Soca, Rapso and other music genres. However, what about "a tropical blend of pop, rock and electronica"?  Am I confusing you? Now to be honest I have listened to this music and can't place it in my world of 'Trini Music'.
I guess one has to be open to anything and with clear thoughts take a deep breath, close your eyes and feel the music.  I still can't feel the 'Trini' in this music but you tell me... I am curious because my daughter said that it sounds like a modern version of Enigma... what are your thoughts?

 Legionaire:  Legionaire are Jason Bodden and Sarina. Hailing from the Caribbean isle of Trinidad our sound is a uniquely tropical blend of pop, rock and electronica.

At its heart, Move On is a song about being stuck in an unloving relationship, one that has already died but the narrator (myself) is unwilling to move on. As a result I thought that a cemetery would be more than fitting. Even better one with an abandoned and ruined church. The setting of course that I was drawn to the beautiful St. Chad ruins at Macqueripe. It’s a shame that this site, although it has been deemed a historical heritage one, is nevertheless slowly falling in onto itself. I really believe that it is only a matter of time before the only way we will be able to appreciate it and the beauty of its setting is through photos and videos such as “Move On”
