Here is a voice from the past that should bring back some really good memories. If you are into Old school themes and want the feel of the good old days then JK is the voice that you want to hear. The title of the song is "Pan In We Soul". So if you are one of those who like to "love up on the pan" or just want "pan in we soul" then you would enjoy listening to this story in song brought to you by JK... this song could be just the remedy for your Carnival blues. Johnny King sings about the magic of the pan but without a sweet song we could never get sweet pan in our soul. This song not only reminds us of the steel pan story but is also a reminder of a time when calypso music ruled. It is a look back at the glorious days of Calypso but we are fortunate to get the sweetness for 2012 when the fusions of Soca are beginning to really take hold of the music industry.
Every steel pan lover knows the music that they love for the pan. The singer and the musician have brought their creative juices together to give us one to enjoy. Johnny King, the singer, and the genius of Leston Paul, the musician, have delivered an uptempo beat for this one but the melody is that of the traditional calypso. The sweet sound of the brass instruments remind us of what the music was all about 'back in the day'. Johnny King (JK) is now one of the old men of calypso but he can still bring it with the rhythm that carries the steel band movement.
I do believe that this song will grow on you just as it did with me. Sometimes all it takes is one listening then again you may want to listen to the song one more time to get the feel of it. In my case I loved the 'feel' right out of the blocks! Take a listen to JK as he brings back some 'old school' calypso rhythms but with an uptempo twist that should keep you jumping on the streets. When you take a look at the production notes you will notice that some really talented people got together to bring this project to fruition - this is one to enjoy readers. Thumbs up JK keep the culture alive!
