The Power | Machel Montano | Trinidad & Tobago 2014

Here we go again and Machel Montano just released a song produced by Vincy Producer Alex "Kubiyashi" Barnwell. The song is entitled "The Power"; it was written by Gamal "Skinny Fabulous" Doyle and Machel Montano HD.
Just when you thought that he was finished here he comes with a Power Soca track to entice bands/masqueraders to get on crazy on the road for Carnival 2014. This may just be the song that will be pushed for his Road March run.
Those of us who had "Ministry Of Road" penciled in for the Road March just got bumped to the back of the class!

These guys are not resting and now everyone knows what Machel was up too when he visited Saint Vincent recently. Kubiyashi is having a monster year with the Trinidad artists. Song after song and we cannot forget that Skinny Fabulous is doing a lot of the writing for these songs. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Is this the one that will put Machel over the top? My opinion is that he should put all his efforts into MOR (Ministry Of Road) for his Road March run!

The initial reception of this song online is not good! I have not seen any discussion that has not been critical of this track. Trust me the comments are not good at all. To put it mildly people feel this song is not worth listening! Here are a few comments on islandmix.com:
  • "Steeuuupssss!!!! Whey de arse he going with dat!?????"
  • "Pure $hit!!! Worse than junction!"
  • "Wack...sounds like something skinny fabolous would sing; pretty sure he wrote it."
Please don't forget to add to the conversation - we want to get your opinion! Do you like this one and do you think he will win the Road March with it; or do you think that it is not a worthy contender?

Let's try and refrain from Kankalang and Mauvais Langue discussions; just constructive criticism or positive vibes!
