SUNSHINE (The Socapella) | LUTENANTS | UK 2013

The Soca vibe is all about the rhythm of the music but what happens when you remove the music and leave the vocals? In this case something new is born and the UK duo have christened it 'Socapella'; in other words  it is advertised as Soca but delivered with an  A Capella variation/vibe. 
Yes it is  different look for Soca (and yes a capella is a known singing style), but for this genre of music it is  something new that has arrived in time for Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival 2013. No, it is not a release for Trinbago's Carnival 2013 but it is something new that has been vested in the interest of Soca music and Trinbago is first on the listing for Carnivals in 2013!

Gosh I hear the kankalang brewing already, Soca is a beat so why is this music listed as Soca? If you pay attention to the music today you will realize that it is all about the marketing of the product with many songs far off the Soca track but are labeled as Soca music. Having said that I will give these guys a pass (not that they need anyone's blessings to market their song). Having said that, my view for this one is to take it for what it is... listen and judge for yourself but take into consideration the following notes from the production team out of the United Kingdom.

The UK Team Marketing Notes:
"The Soca Music Market Is Rapidly Evolving. From Island Pop Riddims To Extravagant Performances, Season After Season The Voice Of The Artist Is Increasingly Diminishing.
  
We All Know The Importance Of Ah Good Riddim, But Does That Over Weigh The Vocals & Lyrics Of The Artist? This Latest Release By The Hottest UK Soca Duo Is Going To Test That Theory.
  
Sunshine The Socapella, Is A Composition Of Lyrics & Melodies Combined With Intricate Harmonies To Fuse Together An Acapella Unlike Any Other. The Simplistic Delivery & Innocent Subtlety Allows Sunshine To Be Enjoyed & Relative To Any Audience."
