Listen up, this is new music from Shurwayne Winchester! The pride of Tobago has a song on the Boom Babadang Riddim that is titled 'Give It To Me'. I was excited when I saw a new release from Shurwayne on Islandmix today and immediately tuned in to hear his offering for Carnival 2013.
Now, to be honest, I did not like what I heard when the song started... I base my views on the first listen. If I don't like what I hear I write about it. I waited... then came babadang and the song began to grow on me... this happened quickly. Give it to me, gyal give it to me boom badadang... has a really nice refrain to it. This is a much slower paced song from Shurwayne than one is accustomed to hearing. It works just fine!
Lyrics:
Different, a pleasantly unexpected change for Shurwayne. Yes, the lyrics are typical for a Carnival track but I like the use of the word 'babadang' - very interesting.
Vocal Performance:
Refreshing, a much slower pace and even though Shurwayne sound like he is in a rush to get somewhere the pace of the rhythm makes this song feel just right.
Music/Production:
Just Right, I love the pace set for this Riddim. Darien Bailey get my approval for a track that was well produced and easy on my auditory processes.
Replay Worthiness/Lasting Appeal:
This song just works for me, I thought it took some time to 'hit the road' but once it settled it the sweetness hit the spot and I discovered my musical sugar high! This one should get the air play it deserves and should be heard played on the radio very often... just wait!
