Control It | Miss Cali | Trinidad & Tobago 2019

This new music out of and for Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2019. The song is entitled "Control It" sung by Shakema "Miss Cali" Rowe. We think you will like this song. However, let's say this to stimulate the conversation. We think that 'Control It' is a good song, with excellent vocals but that it may not impress a live audience or even get played on the road. We do believe it is a nice club and party vibe (you may see this repeated below). Now let's get to it.

There is much to like about this production. We credit the music production and the vocal performance for this one. Apart from the fact that the lady is beautiful, she does have a sweet voice... she will be someone to contend with (keep an eye on her) in the future.

Now having said that, we are not all that giddy and don't feel that this song will receive the credit or notoriety it may deserve. What do we mean? Well, after listening to the song (and liking it) we thought about the upcoming carnival and the Trinidad reveler/party fans and concluded that they will waver regarding the virtues of this song. We do believe that it will be played in parties and the clubs in Trinidad and Tobago. However, in a fete venue, a DJ may mix it in and quickly move over to a more fiery vibe to ensure that the 'carnival adrenalin' is high. We don't expect to hear this song played on 'de road'. On radio stations, depending on the time of the season, this song will be a hit or miss. It is all about how well you are known in the Soca music industry. As we gear up for carnival it will get some airplay but as the tsunami of releases come on stream radio jocks will quickly forget this song.

When her name becomes commonplace everything will change; now she has to continue working and use social media to become better known... she is a star waiting to be recognized. As the saying goes, 'you have to pay your dues and wait your turn'. Rest assured, it will happen for this talented lady!

So there you have it... sometimes, because the Soca music industry is a 'bring on the next song industry in the islands', we think a good song (like Control It) will not get 'musical due diligence' by the radio and fete Dj's. That is just the way the industry is... however, Miss Cali will have a day because she is talented and, with perseverance, will be one to reckon with in the future.
