Show Wine is another one in the wining themes songs coming out of Trinidad and Tobago but you will be surprised after listening to this one. What caught me is the singers voice. In this case his voice stood out from the music that accompanied the vocals. Most of the time you remember the riddim the song is based on but for this one the singer's voice and style caught my interest. Did you notice that I have not mentioned the lyrical content of the song? Well, that is because I wanted to make sure when you listen to the song that you pay attention to the voice more so than the lyrics.
This young man is the brother of deceased Blazer Dan who, from all reports, had the potential to do great things in music but was gunned down when liming with friends. His brother has a similar sounding voice and it is a voice that should serve him well in this industry. His voice is 'rough on the edges' but that is what makes this track work. His voice is different and his style should impact the youth. The lyrics ride a Trinidad theme that made me smile. These are lyrics that every Trinidadian can relate too.
I give this song the thumbs up and look forward to hearing more music from this talented young man. Most of the postings on the WEB state that Blazer Dan lives on with the entrance on his brother for Carnival 2012. This may be so but this singer will be able to walk on his own without the name of his brother behind him (it doesn't hurt though). Welcome Ark Angel. This is one of those songs that will not get much airplay because we have a short carnival season and the big guns in the industry will have the DJ's pushing their music. However, rest assured Ark Angel will make a lot of noise in this emerging fusion music market.
