Another major contribution to Trinidad and Tobago's carnival in 2024. The land of Calypso and Soca, and now, for Soca music, the land of collaborations. This song brings out nostalgia and reminds us of the time King David Rudder blessed our nation with sweet music. The song "Major Damage" hits the sweet spot for lyrical value and is 'full of vibes and musical mastery'.
What a job—a production that makes us feel so good and tremendously homesick. Kudos to the producers, NMG Music and XplicitMevon. Both David Rudder and Devon "Lyrikal" Martin have to be praised, not just for their excellent vocals but more so for the superb lyrics that capture the 'spirit of carnival'. The musicians on the track, the pannist, and the percussion team were all excellent. Background vocalist, Keoné Osbourne, is back and adding to this excellent production.
We love this song, we recommend this song, and it will be an interesting song to capture on the steel pan and play for Panorama by one of the more talented steel bands for this upcoming competition and festival. Yes, this is one of the best music releases thus far.
