Here is something new from Revelation that features the iSpaniard. I don't know if you will 'feel this one'. Personally this one does not feel like a carnival track even though they are singing about "rolling it and wining on it" but this one has too much of a Dancehall vibe to it. I know that most of the young guns don't really care about this and welcome the vibe they have come to expect from Bunji.
I guess now you can see my problem with this song - not enough Calypso/Soca feel... "it is Carnival son"! The Carnival rhythm and the magic of what Trinidad's music is all about seems to have been lost in the Ragga music that the youth love so much today. Having said that, I guess if you like Ragga Soca then this one was written and created with you in mind. Indeed if that is you thing then this is your Ragga Soca flavor of the day!
Now that I have posted the song it dawned on me that just maybe Bunji released this one with the intention to have it seep into the heads of the youth and the Carnival comes to a close. Please be advised (Warning) that very soon the radio stations will flip "the Soca switch' ending the Calypso/Soca music reign just the way King Carnival went back to sleep until next year! What does that mean? Well it means that we will be back to Dancehall music the music of young Trinidadians.
